Open in ChatGPT: Chrome Extension for Custom Prompts
A Chrome extension that lets you send selected text straight to ChatGPT with a custom, pre-set prompt attached—no more retyping instructions every time.
Overview
Open in ChatGPT is a lightweight browser extension designed to eliminate the repetitive busywork of copy-pasting text into ChatGPT and re-explaining what you want done with it. By simply highlighting text on any webpage and right-clicking, you can instantly send that selection to ChatGPT wrapped inside a custom prompt template you've defined in advance. Whether you need answers formatted a certain way, code errors explained, or paragraphs summarized consistently, this tool ensures ChatGPT responds exactly how you want every single time.
Beyond text selection, the extension also supports clipboard-based input via a keyboard shortcut, making it flexible enough to pull content from other applications outside the browser. This dual approach—right-click context menu plus hotkey clipboard support—turns ChatGPT into a true automation companion rather than a tool you have to manually prime with instructions each session. It's a small utility with an outsized impact on workflow efficiency for anyone who relies on ChatGPT throughout their day.
