ChatGPT Box is an open-source (MIT) browser extension that embeds AI assistants directly into web pages. It offers an on-page chat dialog, an independent conversation page, right-click summarization of any page, and a selection tool for translation, summarization, and text polishing, plus code-page helpers on sites like GitHub. It supports many backends through a unified OpenAI-compatible provider registry: OpenAI (GPT-3.5/4 and web API), Anthropic Claude, Azure, OpenRouter, Moonshot, Ollama, and self-hosted/custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints (including via LiteLLM/One-API). Users supply their own API keys and can configure a custom API base URL. Available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Android.

Why this trust score (68/100)

Trust measures how the tool treats your API key and how much of that has been verified. It contains no popularity signal.

  • Key Safety 13/25: The key is persisted in browser local storage, which any script on the page can read.
  • Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
  • Transparency 20/20: Source is public under MIT, so anyone can check how the key is handled.
  • Privacy 7/15: Nothing specific is known about its data handling beyond the key itself.
  • Maintenance 10/10: Actively developed: commits within the last three months.
  • Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.
