What is ChippyAI?

ChippyAI is an AI chat bot tool. Chippy is a Chrome extension that embeds a ChatGPT panel in any webpage for summarizing, translating, researching and drafting replies without leaving the tab. It includes twenty free GPT-3.5 queries daily, supports your own OpenAI API key, and keeps conversations and keys in local browser storage.

Chippy is a Chrome extension that puts a ChatGPT interface into a floating panel on whatever page you are viewing, so research, summaries and translations happen without a tab switch. The extension leans on OpenAI models, offering twenty free GPT-3.5 queries per day and an option to plug in your own OpenAI API key for more volume or GPT-4 access. No account is required to start, and conversations plus the key itself stay in local browser storage that you can clear whenever you like. In practice the workflow is text first. You select a passage and ask Chippy to explain it, or type a question into the panel and let suggested prompts and follow-up questions guide the next step. A focused search mode narrows the model's attention to the current page, which helps with information that postdates ChatGPT's 2021 knowledge cutoff. There is also an email assistant for drafting quick replies, which makes the extension useful beyond reading: it can sit beside a webmail tab and produce a response in place. The audience is broad: students pulling apart dense articles, analysts checking claims on a live page, writers who want a second pass on a paragraph, and anyone who finds the copy, switch tab, paste, copy back loop tedious. It is a convenience layer rather than a full workspace, so teams that need shared prompt libraries, admin controls or audit logs will look elsewhere. Alternatives split into two camps. Browser-side assistants from larger vendors bundle search and multi-step agents, while dedicated chat clients offer more model choice. Chippy competes on simplicity: one extension, local data, your own key if you want it. Chrome and Chromium browsers only for now.

  2. 2Pick a theme and open the panel
    After installation, choose your preferred theme. Chippy is then ready to open from the toolbar on any page you visit.
  3. 3Ask with selected text or a typed question
    Highlight a passage and ask Chippy about it, or type a question directly into the panel. Suggested prompts and follow-ups help refine the request.
  4. 4Narrow the search to the current page
    Use focused search when the answer depends on the page in front of you, which covers material published after ChatGPT's 2021 knowledge cutoff.
  5. 5Add your OpenAI API key for more queries
    Open Settings and click Upgrade to enter your own OpenAI API key. This raises the query limit and enables GPT-4 where your OpenAI plan allows it.
