WebSage is a browser extension that brings the power of AI directly to your browsing experience. It allows users to run intelligent prompts on entire web pages or selected text snippets. These prompts are processed by OpenAI’s advanced GPT-4.1 mini and GPT-4o mini models.
With WebSage, users can generate customized summaries, explanations, contextual analysis, and insights, tailored to the content they’re viewing.
Moreover, there’s no ChatGPT subscription required. Simply plug in your OpenAI API key and pay only for what you use. Since WebSage leverages lightweight models like GPT-4.1 mini and GPT-4o mini, usage costs remain remarkably low, like just $1 of API credit can easily cover a month of moderate to heavy use.
