Adds translation, explanation and custom prompt options directly to your browser's context menu.
Define your own text prompts so the menu reflects the tasks you repeat most often.
The source is open to inspection and modification, so you can adapt or extend its functionality.
Designed to stay out of the way with a small, efficient footprint (~2.5 MB).
Uses large language models to interpret selected text and generate instant responses.
QuickContext reimagines what the right-click menu can do. Instead of being limited to copy, search and inspect, your context menu becomes a gateway to language models: highlight a word or sentence, right-click, and ask for a translation, a plain-language explanation, or any custom action you have set up. Everything happens on the page you are already reading, so you never have to copy text into a separate chat window.
The extension is built around three pillars. First, it is genuinely free and open source, so there are no hidden fees and the code can be inspected, forked and extended. Second, it is customizable: you decide which prompts appear in the menu, shaping the assistant around the way you actually work. Third, it is lightweight — the developers emphasise a streamlined build that will not noticeably slow the browser down.
QuickContext is published by the independent developer AIHE and runs on OpenAI's language models through your own API access. Version 1.0 dates from September 2023 and the extension currently has a small user base. It is a third-party tool with no official affiliation to OpenAI or to any other model provider it may connect to.
Right-click an unfamiliar term while reading and get a translation without opening a dictionary tab.
Highlight a complicated paragraph and request a plain-language explanation in one click.
Fork the open-source project and wire the right-click menu to the prompts and workflows your team needs.
Resolve questions about a page's text without leaving it, keeping your attention on the source.
