Smudge AI

Smudge AI is a Chrome extension that brings ChatGPT-powered assistance directly into your browser’s right-click context menu. Its primary purpose is to streamline everyday web tasks—such as rewriting, summarizing, translating, or explaining text—without requiring you to switch tabs or copy and paste into a separate AI interface. By integrating with the page you are viewing, Smudge AI makes AI-driven text manipulation and research support more immediate and efficient.

Smudge AI adds configurable shortcuts to the right-click menu, allowing you to select text and instantly trigger predefined actions like “Summarize,” “Improve writing,” “Change tone,” “Translate,” or “Explain this.” It leverages ChatGPT under the hood, so the quality of responses is comparable to using the full ChatGPT interface, but with fewer steps. Users can customize which shortcuts appear, tailoring the extension to their specific workflows. Because it operates contextually on the page, it reduces friction for repetitive tasks such as polishing emails, simplifying complex articles, or generating alternative phrasings.
