Made a browser extension that sends any selected text directly to ChatGPT (or Perplexity)

Got tired of the copy-paste dance between articles and ChatGPT, so I built Arete – a simple browser extension that puts AI actions right where you select text.

Select any text → popup appears → choose your action (translate to simple English, summarize, grammar check, etc.) → opens directly in ChatGPT with your prompt ready to go.

Nothing fancy, just saves me like 50 copy-pastes a day. Works with ChatGPT, and Perplexity – you choose which one.

Free on Chrome Web Store, no account needed: https://getarete.app

Would love feedback if you try it! What other quick actions would be useful?

Best!
