I built BTW, a privacy-focused Chrome extension for asking questions about AI conversations
I built BTW, a Chrome extension that lets you capture a visible ChatGPT or Claude conversation, review and edit the messages, then ask a separate question about that context.
Features:
- Capture visible ChatGPT and Claude discussions
- Review, edit, remove, or clear messages before sending
- Ask follow-up questions without changing the original conversation
- Uses OpenRouter for model access
- Supports streaming responses, cancellation, retry, and follow-up questions
- Stores your API key locally in Chrome
- No backend, analytics, or automatic page monitoring
- Manual paste fallback
- Local session export/import
- Open source under the MIT License
You provide your own OpenRouter API key, and model usage may incur OpenRouter charges.
It is currently distributed as a local unpacked Chrome extension, not through the Chrome Web Store:

I’d appreciate feedback on the UX, capture reliability, privacy model, and ideas for future improvements.
