Extension summary

Glimpse is a next-generation, free AI chat tool that makes work, homework, reading, and learning quicker and easier. It’s the only AI browser extension that can understand the content of any website you open, cite sources in its responses, and access real-time internet information. Glimpse learns as your browse, adjusting answers to cite websites that you visit most often. It’s powered by OpenAI technology (including GPT 3.5, GPT 4, and Chat GPT) and seamlessly integrates into your browser, offering conversational, writing, and editing assistance. Additionally, Glimpse sits side-by-side with any tab you have open and retains conversations as you switch from tab to tab, delivering an unmatched, continuous user experience.

When we set out to build Glimpse, we took the concept of an AI assistant and specialized it to work particularly well as a web browsing assistant. Whether you're reading a large document or textbook, drafting an email, or conducting research, Glimpse is around to assist. The extension’s ability to generate content, assist with homework and tests, presentations and essays, write, summarize long articles and videos, and even follow expertly crafted prompt templates makes it a must-have tool for everyone. In some cases, Glimpse can also function as an adblock, keeping your browsing experience clean, and secure.

Glimpse works with every single website on the internet and learns your browsing patterns over time to create a truly personal AI chat experience.

Everytime I try to use it I get an error message. I thought maybe my questions are too complicated so I asked something simple like, "What is the color of bananas?" and still gave me an error message. This AI is too undeveloped to be put in the market.

Its racist, just called my show British, my show is worldwide, whoever called my show British is racist. ChatGPT, Bing Ai, Gemini is better. Edit: I install it again and tried to answer, there was a problem, can you fix that?
