Reflect Webchat for Web

Brief overview

Reflect Webchat is a Chrome extension that adds an AI-powered chat window to webpages, letting you converse with the content you’re viewing. It can ingest context from articles, video pages and other supported pages so you can ask questions or get summaries without leaving the site.

How it works

• You must connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic account so the extension can call the chosen AI models to generate responses.
• The tool captures page context (for example, article text or video metadata) and brings that context into a chat interface where you can interact with it.
• For YouTube videos it can pull transcripts, which is especially helpful for working with long videos or extracting key points.

Compatibility and known constraints

Reflect Webchat runs inside Chrome only, so it may not function on Firefox, Safari, Edge, or other browsers. It also has limited support for some web document types — Google Sheets and similarly structured pages don’t always behave as expected.

Security and privacy practices

The extension keeps user API keys stored on your local machine and does not transmit them elsewhere. It is designed not to collect or log your personal usage data.

Development and customization

Reflect Webchat is published as open-source software on GitHub, enabling developers and users to inspect, modify, or contribute to the codebase to tailor the extension to their needs.
