Jared (ID: 000000e1a7567fae) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/29/2023 Not sure if I'm using this incorrectly, but what I get back is a prompt that i can copy and paste in a chatGPT conversation, which is not at all useful to me...so i'm thinking that maybe there is an issue with the config of my version of this plugin??

Edward (ID: 000000db2e9e1c43) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/25/2023 Thanks, for this. This extension is great. I would almost say this is a must have. Helps me take on complex documents without getting too fatigued. Thanks

Anh Minh Tran (ID: 00000012d7037b88) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2023 This is very helpful for quickly getting explanations on any concept I'm unsure about. The explanations are usually short and easy to understand.

Barath Velmu (ID: 000000d40503319a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2023 Breaks down concepts well and I can get a general understanding of complicated topics really fast. I effectively don't have to go through 10 websites to just understand something. Simplifies the process of having to talk to CHATGPT constantly. Highlight feature is my favourite. Makes it very easy to learn things while reading an article or academic topic!
