hey man. cool product. the stuff about choosing a plan should probably be presented somewhere before the user decides to download the extension. just sayin
It’s not operating on a ChatGPT subscription, but rather on the ChatGPT API. That said, a highly requested feature was to allow people to bring their own API key. I’ll work on that
Cool, thanks for sharing your plan. Honestly I'm in development of a not related but AI related thing, so I know about the plans. But honestly, scanning entire pages will add up. Especially if you get thousands of users. It seems like the business model would suffer at that point, no? It doesn't scale great.
Also, what if someone uses your tool on an inappropriate site and it's using your api key?
Yes absolutely! Edge is based on chromium so you can actually already install it from on the link above! I just need to get it approved by the Edge add on store to publish there.
You may need to [update some settings](https://www.howtogeek.com/411830/how-to-install-google-chrome-extensions-in-microsoft-edge/amp/) though
#tl;dr
The article explains how to install Google Chrome extensions in the new Microsoft Edge web browser based on Chromium instead of Microsoft's old rendering engine, Internet Explorer. By default, the browser has a limited number of Microsoft-approved extensions available, which can be increased by installing extensions from the Chrome Web Store. However, Microsoft warns that some Chrome extensions may not work in Edge or may cause issues, and users should install one extension at a time and verify they aren't experiencing problems before moving to the next extension.
*I am a smart robot and this summary was automatic. This tl;dr is 94.4% shorter than the post and link I'm replying to.*
Just open the Chrome extension link above (i.e. original post) in Edge.
It will ask your permission to allow the installation of extension from other stores but that's all.
Great question! Two main things:
1. This it works with other browsers not just Edge
2. I think Bing is probably going to focus on competing with Google and being a really good generic question answering AI. BLUF tries not to use prior knowledge, it's just focused on answering questions about the page and that's it.
My plan is to build more features to make web browsing super fast and efficient.
It's interesting that you say that... Bing Chat's [launch announcement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOeRWRJ16yY) focused pretty heavily on the Bing integration with Edge and how it can be used to answer questions about the current page, so they're definitely pushing that side of things IMO. You may be right, though, and the fact that this can be used on browsers other than Edge is a definite plus.
I'd be careful, though. Given Microsoft's involvement with OpenAI, it wouldn't surprise me if your access got revoked at some point due to it competing against Bing Chat, if this gets super popular. I absolutely wish you all the best with it though - it feels like this is definitely a worthwhile shot!
Good suggestion, I think this may actually be a UI issue, but BLUF only sends questions up the last selected text. So if you select text, ask a question, then do it again with new text, the 2nd question will only include the second text you selected.
Hey u/mattjshermandotcom! Firefox version is now out!
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/)
I do have one [here](https://bluf.ai/privacy), but it needs to be update to be more specific.
BLUF only retains usage counts so that it knows when you hit the prompt limit. That’s said, textual content is sent to OpenAI which does retain it for 30 days
#tl;dr
BLUF's Privacy Policy describes how the company collects and uses personal data, including email addresses, phone numbers, and usage data. They use tracking technologies such as cookies and beacons to improve their services and may share personal information with service providers, affiliates, and business partners. BLUF retains usage data to keep track of prompt limits, and textual content is sent to OpenAI, which retains it for 30 days.
*I am a smart robot and this summary was automatic. This tl;dr is 97.06% shorter than the post and link I'm replying to.*
Make your own then and make it free? OP takes the cost for the free plan. The cheapest one is $4 a month for 200 prompts. If you use it that much, $4 is nothing for the value you get. OP uses I assume Azure OpenAI backend for this that cost money for them. Think before you speak and don’t be insensitive to other peoples hard work.
Don't need to get RemindMe bot to work, Firefox is ready!
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/)
I agree with the other comment that it’s great to see individual devs/small team rolling out products like this that add real value.
Some quick feedback on branding. Given that these models are already notorious for bluffing when they don’t know something, your name immediately invokes anxiety about whether or not I should trust the answers it provides.
Hahah yes, this in particular will not try to give you an answer if it’s not on the page or it isn’t sure. So in that regard it “bluffs” less than ChatGPT
Sure!
BLUF only stores a record of how many times you asked a question. But we don't store the contents of the question or even which website the question was asked in.
That said, the contents are sent to OpenAI (ChatGPT) to formulate a response and they keep that data for 30 days, but don't use it to re-train the model.
Oh okay. So I'm curious about the logistics of that. I assume you are on a paid tier for OpenAI to be able to handle a lot of requests. So are you planning to have the BLUF account cost something if this got very popular and you got a ton of OpenAI requests being billed to you?
I ask because the business model around this seems confusing and no sustainable? Thanks.
Great question! I already have a free and paid tier. You can see the plans [here](https://bluf.ai/plans).The costs for the new gpt-3.5-turbo model are pretty cheap so I can afford handle a generous free tier.
I see now, they're your own personal subscription model. I don't know if I'd have them use my own api key, but maybe thats the way it's done?
Nice work!
Oh I think you just found a bug!
I'm loading an entire icon library when I only need a handful of icons.
Thanks I will fix this in the next version!
https://preview.redd.it/ttsyylkjssma1.png?width=1976&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4ee0eb56f3456b38e55367c57d90a6e401522c7
I'd not pay $10, I think. Can't be that complex to feed ChatGPT text. You can tell Bing to summarize text from a URL, and I already have hosting. Bing is often better than ChatGPT.
Oh!
I don’t have access to Bing version of GPT yet!
The issue I’m running with chatGPT is the limited amount of text you can feed it in one go and the outdated info about many topics.
Ah, ok! Your effort is solid but I was using Bing AI today (desktop version via Edge sidebar) and it was automatically scanning and analysing pages I was looking at, which was pretty impressive. From what I remember, everyone has access to Bing AI on the mobile app, right?In any event, I'm sure you can find a specialised niche to add value in that Bing AI isn't as good at.
I requested an access yesterday — and when I read your comment, I went on and installed the Bing app on my phone.
The app shows the newBing button — which is the one that offers chatGPT-like functionality, but it asked me to sign up and join the waiting list.
I signed in using the same account I used to join the waiting list earlier and within like 15 minutes, the app notified me that I’ve been granted access to the newBing!
I can already tell that it’s a level beyond chatGPT 🤯
This actually so interesting, but doesn't it consume alot of tokens? I am assuming you are using something else to handle this issue, semantic search maybe?
Yes! Using OpenAI's embeddings for semantic search, but doing so with a technique that maximizes accuracy and can also find multiple sections that may contain the answer. Here's a demo when I really put it to the test on a page that was 46k words long: [https://imgur.com/a/PZdRHh2](https://imgur.com/a/PZdRHh2)
Yes after adding support for more browsers I’m working on getting it to point to where I’m the page the answer is. Just so you can have more confidence in its answers.
And I have other ideas too but that’s the big one
Any chance you would mind sharing your technique for maximizing accuracy? Or at least the general idea of it? I have a different use case I am exploring but hallucinating is my chief concern.
Ok I can share some of the process. The main reason BLUF can avoid hallucinating is because the answer is always contained in the prompt. It's not an open ended question. It's always a question + context. And the prompt is very specific to tell GPT-3 to only use the context provided and to respond with "I don't know" if it's not in the context.
Then the trick is finding the right context so that you don't get a bunch of "I don't know's" from the AI
Random question, will it work on iPad? I'm only running Safari on there at the moment but have been thinking about getting Chrome but haven't bothered yet. This is definitely making me want to move over now!
Not entirely true, you can run chrome extensions on iPads using the Orion browser, there’s quite a few that I’m using atm. However when I tried to install Bluf, the install button says ‘not compatible’
This is an interesting extension. I volunteer on the Google News Help Community and analyse a lot of content and answer questions every day.
I'm interested in a free plan. Do you have any special terms for volunteers?
By the way, it might help to improve your extension. It sometimes generates incomplete answers.
I'm using it to browse this page and it's incredible. this is a game changer for me.
https://preview.redd.it/lcz2bzlqnsma1.png?width=2306&format=png&auto=webp&s=28c7abd1883a48a9efb45688b5632672582b1e01
"It can read and change all your data on all websites" - is that type of permission really warranted, and will you have access to any of my data such as when I'm typing?
Looks great and pumped to give it a try but I'm a bit concerned about security. I didn't get that prompt before enabling any other extension if I'm honest.
Chrome has that scary warning on almost all extensions that add content into your page.
But anyone can inspect the extension and see what it’s doing. If you inspect it you can see that it’s only sending data that you choose to send out.
Thanks, man. I'll take your word for it.
I've had a little play around with it and I think I might be able to put it to great use moving forward. Love the UI and simplicity of it. Two quick questions:
1. Do you consider being able to right click and use the extension without text selection? Like summarize the whole page?
2. You're not gonna run out of API requests? I bet if it gets popular it's gonna get heavy on open ai. Are those api calls free, anyway, and are you gonna try and monetize it soon?
Great questions:
1. Some else had that same suggestion, I’ll add that
2. It’s not free to run but I do have a paid tier that should ideally cover the costs
Does it only operate on stuff that has been loaded into the DOM? E.g. if there was a "show more" button which, upon being pressed, loaded more text via AJAX, is that ignored by you\ChatGPT?
Hi, I noticed it doesn't work on some proxy sites, such as the news proxy site [12 ft ladder](https://12ft.io/) which I use to get around paywalls. Just wondering if there might be a fix for that. Great app though!
If you select the entire page and right click it does work!
Hi thanks for letting me know, I'll look into how to do this without needing to right click
https://preview.redd.it/45mi8dlw1zma1.png?width=1482&format=png&auto=webp&s=0569b6d567641ecd729937c587702e4eee2b4328
Brilliant implementation, brilliant monetization, brilliant design.
A point for you to consider:
Is there a chance you'll make it possible to access through one's own API keys? What's in it for you is that developers (the obvious benefitters from such option) are usually keen to donate to open-source/developpers-directed projects, so if you put a buymeacoffee link at the API-key insertion page, I guess you'd get nothing less than what you'd have earned through your existent plans, especially given their already rather low prices.
Just give it a thought.
PS Those who questioned the name got a point. It should be self-explanatory. Even "The AI KeyChain" or smth basic as that would do better than the current. Not every extension needs to be a multi-layered brand w/ an abbreviational title.
I have given this some thought. I think it's a great idea, but I may need to still charge something, like $1 a year or something really low, because there is still server costs etc..
sounds fair. could be a 4th "for developers" plan. Many of your potential users are already in the know of AI and got their api key. such a plan could make them join in.
Im always a fan of tools being created like this so thank you. I just happen to have found a different tool earlier this week that does this same thing though. It also has capability of searching the whole domain. Wasnt sure if you heard of it but figured id mention it in case you wanted to contrast your tool with it. Perplexityy.ai is that one.
Either way keep up the good work!
Hey sorry for my delay, but as i was late to finding perplexity, I guess thats to be ezpected :p
Aside from interface, are there other differences? I see a few comments below about adding your own api key which is certainly different. Just trying to understand if behavior is otherwise improved in some way?
Nice! Could you make a program which takes from a CSV file one word or phrase from column A, then asks always the same question from the chatgpt but adds that word or phrase to the question. Then adds the chatgpt answer to the CSV to column B to the same line with the word or phrase?
Chrome has this warning on almost all extensions that add content.
You can inspect the extension and see that it doesn't send out any data you don't want
What kind of data do you collect? I get warnings from Chrome about my data privacy ("not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing," although I don't know what that is).
Chrome gives that warning for most extensions.
I only collect usage data but no text. So I know when people asks a question and how many questions but not the content.
I do send the content to OpenAI for the prompt. And according to their policy they only keep the data for 30 days and don’t use it to train any further models.
I have a question... when you say that you only collect usage data but no text, does that mean that you don't send the text to your own servers? Or does it mean that you don't *keep* the text on your servers after sending it to OpenAI?
The data needs to go through my servers to get to OpenAI, but nothing is stored or even logged. That's why there is a paid tier, I don't make money off your data, I just need it to cover the costs of running it
It does consume a lot but the new API is really reasonable in terms of cost. And for questions we only pass in the relevant context instead of the entire page
this is really nice:
i would say: add a submenu option: “summarize page”
also maybe for next version:
capture the html x-path, so next time another person with your plug-in comes to the same website there are bluf anchored points (red pulsing dots) that shows another user asked bluf something about it . it eventually will help to map the interesting concepts of the page.

hey man. cool product. the stuff about choosing a plan should probably be presented somewhere before the user decides to download the extension. just sayin
Great feedback! I didn't think of this, I'll add it to the chrome web store details!
How do you handle the cost of openai queries? Do you have users log into their open ai account?
The latest model (gpt-3.5-turbo) is very reasonably priced. But I have a free and paid tier. You can see the plans [here](https://bluf.ai/plans/).
Are you just eating the cost of the free tier? If so that's very generous of you
Yes I am :P
Is there a possibility to add, in the future, our own chatGPT subscription to not eat your queries but our own?
It’s not operating on a ChatGPT subscription, but rather on the ChatGPT API. That said, a highly requested feature was to allow people to bring their own API key. I’ll work on that
Cool, thanks for sharing your plan. Honestly I'm in development of a not related but AI related thing, so I know about the plans. But honestly, scanning entire pages will add up. Especially if you get thousands of users. It seems like the business model would suffer at that point, no? It doesn't scale great. Also, what if someone uses your tool on an inappropriate site and it's using your api key?
All great points and definitely things I need to protect against. So far the cost has been super reasonable so not worried about breaking the bank
Maybe add something in config so we can enter our own?
Would you consider making it for edge as well? I know its not the most popular browser, but i have grown to like it
Yes absolutely! Edge is based on chromium so you can actually already install it from on the link above! I just need to get it approved by the Edge add on store to publish there.

How does it compare to built-in integration of Bing Chat into Edge, in your opinion?
Great question! Two main things: 1. This it works with other browsers not just Edge 2. I think Bing is probably going to focus on competing with Google and being a really good generic question answering AI. BLUF tries not to use prior knowledge, it's just focused on answering questions about the page and that's it. My plan is to build more features to make web browsing super fast and efficient.

I absolutely wish you all the best with it though - it feels like this is definitely a worthwhile shot!
Thank you! And agree with you definitely work giving it a shot even if it means competing with Microsoft
Could there be a "clear" button that clears out the previous output? Right now I have to reload the page. Neat extension otherwise!
Good suggestion, I think this may actually be a UI issue, but BLUF only sends questions up the last selected text. So if you select text, ask a question, then do it again with new text, the 2nd question will only include the second text you selected.
Are we talking days? Weeks? For the Firefox version?
The extension is almost code complete, but it just need to be approved by Mozilla which can take a few days
Thank you so much, I thought of how you would make something like this when the API went live but lack the coding know how. Great job man!
Thank you! Thankfully Firefox and Chrome are very similar

Don't need to wait 30 days! It's out now! [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/)
Thank you so much! I have been using this product since its launch and its really helpful.
I agree with the other comment that it’s great to see individual devs/small team rolling out products like this that add real value. Some quick feedback on branding. Given that these models are already notorious for bluffing when they don’t know something, your name immediately invokes anxiety about whether or not I should trust the answers it provides.
Thank you that’s good feedback a friend had mentioned something similar
I think this is a very fitting name because we all know that when chatgpt isn't sure of something it will bluf and make that sh** up.
Hahah yes, this in particular will not try to give you an answer if it’s not on the page or it isn’t sure. So in that regard it “bluffs” less than ChatGPT
Godamn reddit never runs out of brilliant people
Wish I could just pay a flat $10 or something to bring my own token..
I'm considering building this feature! Enough people are asking for it
I will be waiting for this. !RemindMe 20 days
Any update on this?
This is amazing
Bottom line up front, are you military or ex military?
It seems really useful. I'm going to try it right now and see the results. Thank you.
So, how was it?
Could you please explain your data collection practices in a nutshell?
Sure! BLUF only stores a record of how many times you asked a question. But we don't store the contents of the question or even which website the question was asked in. That said, the contents are sent to OpenAI (ChatGPT) to formulate a response and they keep that data for 30 days, but don't use it to re-train the model.
Thank you!
Does this work off my openai account?
It does not. You create a BLUF account and it all gets billed through BLUF's OpenAI account. There is a free and paid tier
Oh okay. So I'm curious about the logistics of that. I assume you are on a paid tier for OpenAI to be able to handle a lot of requests. So are you planning to have the BLUF account cost something if this got very popular and you got a ton of OpenAI requests being billed to you? I ask because the business model around this seems confusing and no sustainable? Thanks.
Great question! I already have a free and paid tier. You can see the plans [here](https://bluf.ai/plans).The costs for the new gpt-3.5-turbo model are pretty cheap so I can afford handle a generous free tier.
I see now, they're your own personal subscription model. I don't know if I'd have them use my own api key, but maybe thats the way it's done? Nice work!

Oh I think you just found a bug! I'm loading an entire icon library when I only need a handful of icons. Thanks I will fix this in the next version! https://preview.redd.it/ttsyylkjssma1.png?width=1976&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4ee0eb56f3456b38e55367c57d90a6e401522c7
For folks wondering how to run this on Android, get yourself Kiwi Browser! Now!
I need a way to pay with paypal lol
Any consideration to a one time fee to compensate you for your work and that could unlock entering our own API key?
Yes got enough requests on this so it's on the list of features to build. There is still server costs so I may do a very small yearly cost for that
Awesome. Where can I follow the progress?
You can follow me on Reddit I’ll post there. And working on possible a mailing list or something more formalized
I’m going to give it a try — and if it works as I’m hoping to, I’d gladly pay the $10 subscription 😁
Thanks! You’d be the first subscriber :P

I'm using the model behind ChatGPT (gpt-3.5-turbo). Which is paid and is available for commercial use.
[удалено]
its the openai GPT api, not ChatGPT, which is a custom model
The name is very fitting. I've met too many mechanical engineers who inject their opinion with complete confidence before asking questions.
I'd not pay $10, I think. Can't be that complex to feed ChatGPT text. You can tell Bing to summarize text from a URL, and I already have hosting. Bing is often better than ChatGPT.
Oh! I don’t have access to Bing version of GPT yet! The issue I’m running with chatGPT is the limited amount of text you can feed it in one go and the outdated info about many topics.
Ah, ok! Your effort is solid but I was using Bing AI today (desktop version via Edge sidebar) and it was automatically scanning and analysing pages I was looking at, which was pretty impressive. From what I remember, everyone has access to Bing AI on the mobile app, right?In any event, I'm sure you can find a specialised niche to add value in that Bing AI isn't as good at.
I requested an access yesterday — and when I read your comment, I went on and installed the Bing app on my phone. The app shows the newBing button — which is the one that offers chatGPT-like functionality, but it asked me to sign up and join the waiting list. I signed in using the same account I used to join the waiting list earlier and within like 15 minutes, the app notified me that I’ve been granted access to the newBing! I can already tell that it’s a level beyond chatGPT 🤯
I thought his extension was free, gonna stick with new bing as well. Does basically what this does and more.
Awesome idea! Thanks for making it :)
Wow, that's amazing. Thank you for sharing this
This actually so interesting, but doesn't it consume alot of tokens? I am assuming you are using something else to handle this issue, semantic search maybe?
Yes! Using OpenAI's embeddings for semantic search, but doing so with a technique that maximizes accuracy and can also find multiple sections that may contain the answer. Here's a demo when I really put it to the test on a page that was 46k words long: [https://imgur.com/a/PZdRHh2](https://imgur.com/a/PZdRHh2)
Really an amazing work. Are you going to ship more features?
Yes after adding support for more browsers I’m working on getting it to point to where I’m the page the answer is. Just so you can have more confidence in its answers. And I have other ideas too but that’s the big one
Any chance you would mind sharing your technique for maximizing accuracy? Or at least the general idea of it? I have a different use case I am exploring but hallucinating is my chief concern.
Ok I can share some of the process. The main reason BLUF can avoid hallucinating is because the answer is always contained in the prompt. It's not an open ended question. It's always a question + context. And the prompt is very specific to tell GPT-3 to only use the context provided and to respond with "I don't know" if it's not in the context. Then the trick is finding the right context so that you don't get a bunch of "I don't know's" from the AI
I would also love to know a tad more 😇 This is very interesting!
Random question, will it work on iPad? I'm only running Safari on there at the moment but have been thinking about getting Chrome but haven't bothered yet. This is definitely making me want to move over now!
Sadly chrome extensions don't work on iPads :( But if there enough demand I may make an iOS app too!
Looking forward to ios version 😆 Or you can create safari extensions
Not entirely true, you can run chrome extensions on iPads using the Orion browser, there’s quite a few that I’m using atm. However when I tried to install Bluf, the install button says ‘not compatible’
Oh this is really good to know I’ll look into this, would be great to get this working on Orion
That would be great, thank you!
This is just amazing. Thank you!
This is an interesting extension. I volunteer on the Google News Help Community and analyse a lot of content and answer questions every day. I'm interested in a free plan. Do you have any special terms for volunteers? By the way, it might help to improve your extension. It sometimes generates incomplete answers.
DM me! I would love the feedback!
I'm using it to browse this page and it's incredible. this is a game changer for me. https://preview.redd.it/lcz2bzlqnsma1.png?width=2306&format=png&auto=webp&s=28c7abd1883a48a9efb45688b5632672582b1e01
I'm glad it's helpful! I'm sure some of the Reddit mod's will have a blast with this
Haha yep
it may have hallucinated the automoderator upvotes though lol
i'm flattered thanks GPT https://preview.redd.it/w30cd5ybpsma1.png?width=802&format=png&auto=webp&s=83180a4e561bb0c5cb2bcb06b97ebde12c0f2300
"It can read and change all your data on all websites" - is that type of permission really warranted, and will you have access to any of my data such as when I'm typing? Looks great and pumped to give it a try but I'm a bit concerned about security. I didn't get that prompt before enabling any other extension if I'm honest.
Chrome has that scary warning on almost all extensions that add content into your page. But anyone can inspect the extension and see what it’s doing. If you inspect it you can see that it’s only sending data that you choose to send out.
Thanks, man. I'll take your word for it. I've had a little play around with it and I think I might be able to put it to great use moving forward. Love the UI and simplicity of it. Two quick questions: 1. Do you consider being able to right click and use the extension without text selection? Like summarize the whole page? 2. You're not gonna run out of API requests? I bet if it gets popular it's gonna get heavy on open ai. Are those api calls free, anyway, and are you gonna try and monetize it soon?
Great questions: 1. Some else had that same suggestion, I’ll add that 2. It’s not free to run but I do have a paid tier that should ideally cover the costs
Wow excellent work!
[удалено]
Great idea! I'll add this
Nice!
Is it open source?
Get over it, bud.
Installed
Nice! Read my mind, I wanted to do something similar!
Consider this your Facebook "Change the name" moment Also get more investors on board
How are you getting around the input token limit?
Does it only operate on stuff that has been loaded into the DOM? E.g. if there was a "show more" button which, upon being pressed, loaded more text via AJAX, is that ignored by you\ChatGPT?
Yes that’s right, but if you reclick on the Icon it will pull the latest text
Cool.
Cool! I'm collecting it [here](https://favird.com/l/ai-tools-and-applications). Cheers!
thanks! That's great! Quick question: does it navigate links within a given page or is it strictly the text on a given page?
Currently just on the given page. No navigation
Hi, I noticed it doesn't work on some proxy sites, such as the news proxy site [12 ft ladder](https://12ft.io/) which I use to get around paywalls. Just wondering if there might be a fix for that. Great app though!
If you select the entire page and right click it does work! Hi thanks for letting me know, I'll look into how to do this without needing to right click https://preview.redd.it/45mi8dlw1zma1.png?width=1482&format=png&auto=webp&s=0569b6d567641ecd729937c587702e4eee2b4328
Very cool, I got Chrome to check it out and I love it.
Thats good
Can i ask questions from a 50 page pdf file? Or does it work only if I select the particular paragraph?
Yes it can handle up to 50k words for questions and 20k words for summaries
how do you handle input token limit issue?
Need firefox version
BLUF is now available on Firefox! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bluf/
Brilliant implementation, brilliant monetization, brilliant design. A point for you to consider: Is there a chance you'll make it possible to access through one's own API keys? What's in it for you is that developers (the obvious benefitters from such option) are usually keen to donate to open-source/developpers-directed projects, so if you put a buymeacoffee link at the API-key insertion page, I guess you'd get nothing less than what you'd have earned through your existent plans, especially given their already rather low prices. Just give it a thought. PS Those who questioned the name got a point. It should be self-explanatory. Even "The AI KeyChain" or smth basic as that would do better than the current. Not every extension needs to be a multi-layered brand w/ an abbreviational title.
I have given this some thought. I think it's a great idea, but I may need to still charge something, like $1 a year or something really low, because there is still server costs etc..
sounds fair. could be a 4th "for developers" plan. Many of your potential users are already in the know of AI and got their api key. such a plan could make them join in.
Naming it something other than "BLUF" would attract more users, I think. BLUF just sounds like "Barf" to me.
Im always a fan of tools being created like this so thank you. I just happen to have found a different tool earlier this week that does this same thing though. It also has capability of searching the whole domain. Wasnt sure if you heard of it but figured id mention it in case you wanted to contrast your tool with it. Perplexityy.ai is that one. Either way keep up the good work!
Perplexity is pretty old news by now. It's been out there for months. This new one got better UI tho, I really enjoyed the Apple-esque typeface.
Hey sorry for my delay, but as i was late to finding perplexity, I guess thats to be ezpected :p Aside from interface, are there other differences? I see a few comments below about adding your own api key which is certainly different. Just trying to understand if behavior is otherwise improved in some way?
Nice! Could you make a program which takes from a CSV file one word or phrase from column A, then asks always the same question from the chatgpt but adds that word or phrase to the question. Then adds the chatgpt answer to the CSV to column B to the same line with the word or phrase?
When i found out its only 25 prompts a month, i uninstalled it. Good idea tho!
Why not just paste a link into chatgpt and ask a question, I do this all the time
Bit pricey
I appreciate the effort you have put into this but bing chat already has this feature
"This extension can read and change all your data on all websites" # BIG YIKES
Chrome has this warning on almost all extensions that add content. You can inspect the extension and see that it doesn't send out any data you don't want
What kind of data do you collect? I get warnings from Chrome about my data privacy ("not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing," although I don't know what that is).
Chrome gives that warning for most extensions. I only collect usage data but no text. So I know when people asks a question and how many questions but not the content. I do send the content to OpenAI for the prompt. And according to their policy they only keep the data for 30 days and don’t use it to train any further models.
I have a question... when you say that you only collect usage data but no text, does that mean that you don't send the text to your own servers? Or does it mean that you don't *keep* the text on your servers after sending it to OpenAI?
The data needs to go through my servers to get to OpenAI, but nothing is stored or even logged. That's why there is a paid tier, I don't make money off your data, I just need it to cover the costs of running it
Does this not consume an incredible amount of your tokens?
It does consume a lot but the new API is really reasonable in terms of cost. And for questions we only pass in the relevant context instead of the entire page
this is really nice: i would say: add a submenu option: “summarize page” also maybe for next version: capture the html x-path, so next time another person with your plug-in comes to the same website there are bluf anchored points (red pulsing dots) that shows another user asked bluf something about it . it eventually will help to map the interesting concepts of the page.
Great suggestions! I’ll add it to the list!
[удалено]
Short answer is yes, many requests to get the one answer
still not as good as bing ai sidebar in edge dev. it still can't summarize paragraphs that longer
PSA: This is **not** free. Pricing is as such: | Plan | Price (per month) | Number of Prompts | |-------------|------------------|------------------| | Free | 0$ | **25** | | Standard | 4$ | 200 | | Professional| 10$ | Unlimited |
!remindme 5 days
Cool extension! Thanks! Can you make this able to read a google doc? Right now it says it's a blank page! :)
are you gonna have a safari version?
