What is WebChatGPT?
WebChatGPT is a browser extension that augments the functionality of large language models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, by integrating real-time web access. The tool operates locally in the browser, requiring permissions to access website data to execute its functions. It retrieves information from configurable search engines like Google and Yahoo, providing this data as context to the LLM. This process enables the generation of responses that incorporate current information and include citations to the original sources. The extension also features a prompt library and management system. This software is built for professionals like researchers, journalists, and market analysts who depend on current, verifiable data. A typical production workflow involves a researcher using the tool to have an LLM synthesize information from recent academic papers or news articles on a specific topic. Another use case is for a content strategist to employ the "Search with AI" feature to gather immediate, AI-summarized answers alongside standard search engine results, expediting the initial phase of market or competitor research.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which search engine does the extension use?

The extension supports multiple search engines, including Google Search, Yahoo! Search, and six others.

Why is the extension asking for `access to all websites` permission?

The extension requires access to all websites because there is no backend server to process web requests, and everything happens locally in the browser. There are two modes: web searching using Google Search and Yahoo! Search, and extracting webpage text from URLs. Web searching requires access to Google Search and Yahoo! Search, while URL text extraction requires access to any website. This is why the access to all websites permission is required.

The extension does not work, the toolbar does not show up. What can I do?

If you are experiencing issues with the toolbar not showing up, please try disabling any other ChatGPT extensions that you have installed and reloading the page.
