AI tools are moving into the page you are already using

Reading study notes, GitHub pages, documentation, research papers, or articles often leads to the same loop: copy a confusing part, open ChatGPT, paste or upload a screenshot, read the answer, then return to the original page. The workflow works, but switching tabs breaks focus.

A new Chrome extension aims to remove that break by letting people highlight text on a webpage, ask AI inside the browser, and keep asking follow-up questions without leaving the page. It is still waiting for Chrome Web Store approval, but it is already functional and has been tested with a small group.

Related small tools point to the same need: a clipboard manager that stores several copied items and pastes them in order, a meeting note overlay that stays on screen, an AI overlay for coding tests or online interviews, and a notes app that floats over other apps. The common idea is simple: keep the help where the work is happening.
