  description

  Think AI is smart? Think again.
  
  Out of the box, AI knows nothing about you. Every new chat starts from zero. You re-explain your role, your preferences, how you want answers formatted — every single time.
  
  Throttle fixes this. It sits quietly on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and automatically injects your identity and style before every conversation. No setup per chat. No re-explaining. Ever.
  
  It's time to put the I in AI.
  
  
  **AI IDENTITY — Build it once. Works everywhere.**
  
  Define who you are and how you work — name, role, goals, communication style, you name it. Throttle silently injects your identity into the first message of every new conversation, automatically, across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini simultaneously.
  
  This is what Custom Instructions should have been — except it works across all three platforms, not just one.
  
  - Set once. Never touch it again.
  - Works on every new chat, automatically.
  - Fully cross-platform: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
  
  
  **RESPONSE PRESETS — One click to change how AI responds**
  
  Four fully customizable response modes that inject the right style instruction before every message:
  
  - Balanced — Clear, well-structured. The smart default.
  - Concise — Short, direct answers. No fluff, no filler.
  - Developer — Code-first. Terse and technical.
  - Detailed — Full depth. Complete answers, every detail included.
  
  No more pasting "please keep this short" into every chat. Switch presets from the toolbar in one click.
  
  
  **CONTEXT METER — Know before quality drops**
  
  AI responses degrade as conversations get long. Throttle shows a live bar estimating how full your context window is, so you always know where you stand.
  
  When it turns red, hit Compact & Continue — Throttle automatically compresses your conversation so you can keep going without losing context.
  
  - Real-time context tracking on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
  - Visual status: Good / Fair / Degrading.
  - Auto-compression keeps your momentum going.
  
  
  **PRIVATE BY DESIGN**
  
  We never read your conversations. Throttle only prepends a small instruction to your first message — it never stores, scans, or transmits your chat content.
  
  - All settings stored locally in your browser.
  - Anonymous usage analytics only (session counts, feature usage — never message content).
  - No account required. No login. No cloud sync.
  - No third-party advertising or tracking.

  - All four response presets
