## Description
Extract & Ask: AI Workflow Tool
Turn any webpage into AI-ready contextβin one click. Extract & Ask: AI Workflow Tool lets you select open browser tabs, extract clean text with optional prompts, and copy directly to your clipboard or launch your favorite AI chatbot. Its smart multi-tab extraction with prompt prepending cuts research time dramatically while keeping you in control.
β¨ Key Features

- Prompt Intelligence: Prepend saved prompts to extracted content (toggle on/off). Edit or add custom prompts directly in the popup.
- 3 Extraction Modes (switch anytime):
- Text Extraction (default): Fastest mode. Pulls core text while respecting context limits. Ideal for quick lookups.
- Optimized Content (recommended): Clean formatting + YouTube transcript support. Best balance of quality and efficiency.
- Full Content Extraction: Uses Readability library for maximum text capture. Use when you need every word (note: less formatting, higher token use).
- Floating AI Sidebar: Toggle button (disappears after 3s, reappears on scroll) launches your preferred chatbots. Configure position (left/right), add/edit custom AI endpoints.
- One-Click Injection: On supported AI chatbots, two buttons appear in the chat input:
- Inject saved prompts
- Inject content from other tabs (listed for quick selection)
- Advanced Flexibility: Add custom CSS selectors when configuring new chatbots to enable injection anywhere. Disable injection anytime by clearing the selector field.
