ChatGPTBox is a browser extension designed to deeply integrate ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) into the user's browsing experience. It offers a free, privacy-focused solution for accessing AI assistance across various websites and search engines, catering to users who want to leverage AI for tasks like summarization, translation, and code explanation directly within their workflow.

How It Works

The extension operates by injecting AI capabilities into web pages and search results. It supports multiple LLM APIs, including OpenAI's Web API (for free and Plus users), GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Claude, New Bing, and self-hosted models via custom API endpoints. This flexibility allows users to choose their preferred AI provider. The extension features a floating chat dialog, a dedicated conversation page, and context-aware selection tools that can be triggered via keyboard shortcuts or right-click menus, enabling seamless interaction with AI on any page.
