Our verdict

Text Assist bundles translation between two set languages, hotkey-triggered text completion, summarization, expansion and grammar polishing into one browser tool, all keyed off text you select or a shortcut you press. It's built for people juggling more than one language who want cleanup and completion without switching apps. None of the GPT-powered features work until you supply and store your own API key locally, so setup takes an extra step before first use.
