Smudge.ai

smudge.ai is a Chrome extension that brings ChatGPT-powered shortcuts directly into your browser’s right-click menu, enabling contextual AI commands without leaving the page. It functions as an AI-assisted productivity toolkit designed for professionals, students, and everyday users who want to summarize, refine, translate, or otherwise manipulate text while browsing. The extension emphasizes ease of use, in-context AI interactions, and the ability to customize commands and workflows to fit individual needs.

How it works

1. Highlight text on any webpage.
2. Choose a built-in command from the right-click menu (or create your own custom command).
3. The selected text and the command prompt are sent to OpenAI for processing.
4. Results stream back to you within the page, enabling a seamless, in-flow AI interaction without switching tabs or windows.

Security and privacy are highlighted: user input and output text are not logged or saved by smudge.ai; data only passes through their servers to communicate with OpenAI, which does not use your data to train its models. No tracking cookies or third-party scripts are used in the extension.

Core Use Cases

• For professionals: draft and edit content, generate initial drafts of emails or documents, and translate content to bridge language barriers.
• For students: correct formatting, generate concise study notes from chapters, or work through complex problems step-by-step.
