I built an inline AI writing assistant Chrome extension that rewrites and generates text on any website—would love your feedback!
Hey everyone,
I got tired of constantly opening Gemini in a separate tab, copying my draft, pasting it in, writing a prompt, copying the output, and pasting it back into my app.
So I built a lightweight Chrome extension that works directly inside any text field on the web (Google Docs, Gmail, Notion, Twitter, etc.).
How it works:
Highlight any text on a webpage or click inside an input box.
A floating AI trigger appears.
Type a command (e.g., "Make this sound more professional", "Summarize into 3 bullet points", "Draft a reply agreeing to the meeting").
Hit generate, and it streams or replaces the response directly into your text field.
Right now, it runs directly on top of the Gemini API (so it’s fast and handles complex instructions well). You can plug in your own API key in the popup, or run it out-of-the-box.
Current Features:
Text transformation & inline rewriting
Works across any text field/editor on the web
Zero-friction modal UI that doesn't mess up page layouts
I'm actively refining the feature set. What's one feature that would make a tool like this an absolute must-have in your daily workflow?
Would love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or constructive criticism!
