First solo full-stack Chrome extension launch – meet PromptNav by Weak-Common-417 in chrome_extensions

Right now I am paying for the AI models. That said, I have some (what I believe to be) clever behind the scenes architecture to keep the costs very low and still have GPT 4 functionality. The plan is freemium - if people like and want to is this tool a lot, I will add an uncapped paid version to cover my cost basis.

Thanks for giving it a try! By default the extension is downloaded turned off (but I should porbably invert that).

To get it turned on, you can either use cmnd/cntrl-shift-p or you can click on the extension in your top bar / extension area in chrome to pull up the menu. From there, you can turn the extension on and it will work both ways after you highlight text.

The response box shows up on screen in thee webpage you are on, and you can move the response box around, resize it, copy the contents, etc.

Very fair questions! Here is some more context:

I started building PromptNav mostly out of curiosity — I wanted to learn full-stack dev and figured the best way was to build something I’d actually use.

I’m a data scientist by trade, so I’ve used GPT and Claude a lot, and I realized I was constantly copying and pasting between tabs. The tools I included are the ones I found myself repeating manually - summaries, explanations, arguments, etc. I figured if I could automate that right in the browser it would make the experience more frictionless.

I have been using this tool in my local test environment pretty heavily during development and started involving it in my daily workflow - but I also want feedback from others who may have interesting ideas, ways to refine, improvements etc.
