Browser Buddy 1.1

Browser Buddy is a Google Chrome extension that keeps ChatGPT by your side while you browse. Instead of switching tabs or losing context, you can open a dedicated side panel and chat in parallel with whatever you’re reading—articles, docs, emails, or research—so you can ask questions, rewrite text, or generate ideas without breaking your flow.

Privacy is a core part of the experience. Browser Buddy stores your chat history locally in your browser, helping you keep control of your data and making it easy to return to earlier conversations. Your chat can persist as you move across tabs, so you can continue the same thread while exploring different sources.

Browser Buddy also supports working with PDFs opened in your browser. You can discuss a document as you read, extract key points, and clarify complex sections. For fast, in-context help on any website, the extension includes a selection menu: highlight text on a page to quickly summarize, rephrase, explain, or turn it into notes.

Getting started is simple: install Browser Buddy from the Chrome Web Store, open the side panel, and connect it with your own OpenAI API key. From there, you can use ChatGPT alongside any site, keep a persistent workspace for research, and capture useful outputs without copying content back and forth.

Browser Buddy is designed for students, analysts, writers, developers, and anyone who wants an always-available AI assistant while staying focused—and keeping conversations stored on-device for a more private browsing companion. More
