About

▎ Understand any AI answer without breaking your flow.
  ▎
  ▎ llmOverlay turns long ChatGPT and Claude replies into something you can actually interrogate.    Highlight a passage 
  ▎ you don't follow, press the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E, or ⌘+Shift+E on Mac), and a side panel opens with a focused 
  ▎ explanation — one that reads the surrounding conversation, not just the few words you selected. Ask follow-up 
  ▎ questions and it keeps the thread.
  ▎
  ▎ Why it's different
  ▎ Generic "explain this" tools answer in a vacuum. llmOverlay grounds every answer in the actual transcript, so 
  ▎ explanations stay relevant to what you and the model were discussing.
  ▎
  ▎ Features
  ▎ • Highlight-to-explain on chatgpt.com and claude.ai
  ▎ • Side-panel Q&A grounded in the real conversation
  ▎ • Follow-up questions with session memory
  ▎ • Bring your own API key — Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT)
  ▎ • One-click Clear to wipe the panel history
  ▎
  ▎ Private by design
  ▎ llmOverlay has no server of its own. Your highlighted text and the chat transcript go directly from your browser to 
  ▎ the provider you chose (Anthropic or OpenAI), using your own API key. Keys and history stay in your browser — 
  ▎ nothing is sent to the developer. Full policy: https://connorbatsell.github.io/LLMOverlay/privacy.html
  ▎
  ▎ Setup
  ▎ Requires your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key, entered on the extension's options page. Works on Chrome 116+.
