Drag GPT

Drag GPT is a browser extension built around a single idea: reduce the friction between reading something on the web and asking an AI about it. Instead of copying text into a separate chat window, you highlight a passage, and a small action button appears. One click forwards the selection to the Chat GPT API, which answers inline. Because the extension talks to the API directly with your own credentials, it works independently of the ChatGPT website itself.

The tool is aimed at people who read a lot online and want contextual answers without context switching. You can pre-configure a set of favorite prompts as reusable slots, each with its own temperature setting, and switch between them depending on whether you need a summary, translation, or explanation. Recent releases added model selection between gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini and gpt-4-turbo, streaming responses for both drag chat and the quick chat popup, an on/off toggle, and the ability to review chat history from the options page.

The interface ships in four languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean), and the developer states that the extension does not collect or sell user data. Its main requirement is an OpenAI API key, so actual running costs depend on your own API usage.
