smudge.ai
smudge.ai adds ChatGPT-powered commands to Chrome’s right-click menu so professionals and students can transform selected webpage text without switching to a separate chatbot.
Who it's for
- Professionals using Chrome who want to draft or edit emails and documents, or translate selected text while browsing.
- Students using Chrome who want to format papers, summarize chapters into study notes, or work through complex word problems.
- People who regularly read long webpages and want to summarize or reformat selected text in place.
Not the right fit if…
- People whose browser is not Google Chrome: the page says smudge.ai is compatible with Google Chrome.
How it fits your workflow
Install the Chrome extension, then highlight text on a webpage and choose a command from the right-click menu. The command and selected text are sent to OpenAI for processing, and the result is streamed back.
