Extract & Ask: AI Workflow Tool

Turn any webpage into AI-ready context—in one click. Extract & Ask: AI Workflow Tool lets you select open browser tabs, extract clean text with optional prompts, and copy directly to your clipboard or launch your favorite AI chatbot. Its smart multi-tab extraction with prompt prepending cuts research time dramatically while keeping you in control.

✨ Key Features

• Smart Tab Selection: Popup lists all open tabs—select one or multiple to extract text. Copies cleanly to clipboard, ready for any AI chat.
• Prompt Intelligence: Prepend saved prompts to extracted content (toggle on/off). Edit or add custom prompts directly in the popup.
• 3 Extraction Modes (switch anytime):
• Text Extraction (default): Fastest mode. Pulls core text while respecting context limits. Ideal for quick lookups.
• Optimized Content (recommended): Clean formatting + YouTube transcript support. Best balance of quality and efficiency.
• Full Content Extraction: Uses Readability library for maximum text capture. Use when you need every word (note: less formatting, higher token use).
• Floating AI Sidebar: Toggle button (disappears after 3s, reappears on scroll) launches your preferred chatbots. Configure position (left/right), add/edit custom AI endpoints.
• One-Click Injection: On supported AI chatbots, two buttons appear in the chat input:
• Inject saved prompts
• Inject content from other tabs (listed for quick selection)
• Advanced Flexibility: Add custom CSS selectors when configuring new chatbots to enable injection anywhere. Disable injection anytime by clearing the selector field.
• Full Portability: Export/import all prompts, chatbots, and settings as JSON. Sync across devices or share workflows with your team.

🔍 How It Works

1. Click the extension icon → select tabs to extract → choose prompt (optional) → copy.
2. Toggle "Open chatbot after extraction" to launch your AI of choice instantly.
3. Use the floating sidebar button (reappears on scroll) to jump to any configured AI.
4. On supported AI sites, use injected buttons to drop prompts or tab content directly into the chat input.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is my data sent to external servers?
A: Never. All extraction, prompt handling, and settings are processed and stored locally on your device. Zero telemetry.

Q: Which extraction mode should I use?
A: Start with Optimized Content—it handles formatting and YouTube transcripts reliably. Use Text Extraction for speed on simple pages, or Full Content only when you need every character (e.g., legal/docs).

A: We support 15+ major platforms out of the box: ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Deepseek, Copilot, Qwen, MiniMax, Mistral LeChat, Kimi, Z.ai, Reka, Inception, Ai2 Playground, Alice AI, Xiaomi MiMo. If yours isn't listed, go to Options > Chatbots > Edit/Add, and enter the input field's CSS selector.

Q: Can I add my own AI chatbot to the sidebar or injection list?
A: Yes. In Options > Chatbots, click "Add Custom", name it, set the URL, and (optionally) provide selectors for button injection.

Q: Does this work on YouTube?
A: Yes—Optimized Content mode automatically extracts video transcripts alongside page text.

Q: How do I back up or transfer my settings?
A: Go to Options > Export/Import. Save your JSON file locally or share it. One click restores everything.
