3.9 out of 5
Scored by Alex after real useOur verdict
OpenGPTs bundles a sidebar chat, instant screenshot analysis, one-click text summarization, and simultaneous conversations with multiple GPTs into one open-source Chrome extension. Internet-enhanced answers reduce reliance on the model's own memory, and a web-automation feature is still listed as coming soon rather than shipped. Being open-source, its code is inspectable on GitHub, though as with any extension that requests webpage access, you're trusting its stated policy against collecting browsing history.
✓What it does well
Sidebar AI chatA persistent side panel answers questions while you keep browsing.
Screenshot analysisIt can capture and analyze any screen content on demand.
Multi-GPT conversationsYou can converse with several GPTs at once for different perspectives on one question.
✕Where it falls short
Web automation not shippedThe web operator feature for automating site navigation is still listed as coming soon, not available now.
Requires webpage permissionsIt requires broad webpage access permissions to work, which some users may hesitate to grant.
Small independent projectIt's an open-source side project rather than a funded product, so support depends on one developer's time.
