About The Skinny
Get the Skinny on Any Website with Instant In-browser Insights.
The Skinny uses context from the active tab to perform research on it's content including company information, social exposure, even page items (such as clothing).
You can let it get the content it thinks you will be most interested in by analyzing the page, but you can also prompt it to perform a more directed response.
Its powered by Grok4 for advanced reasoning and search parameters with formatted responses. This makes it a bit slow for now, but even from when I first made this extension for myself the response time has dropped 40%. I will continue to update the model as new versions come out.
THIS IS A COMPLETELY FREE CHROME EXTENSION. As AI works in tokens, I pay out of pocket out of pocket and limit the free version to 25 queries a day. Adding your own xAI api key removes the limit and funnels queries through your account.
I have no use for your data. I don't want it and I don't store it. Chrome needs the access to get the context that makes this work.
Ways I've been surprised by The Skinny:
• Recipes – It can remove the fluff from recipe sites and return a clean ingredient list with cooking instructions. You can tell it about dietary restrictions, ingredient alternatives, or convert it for different serving sizes.
• Gmail – Ask if you have any important emails you need to take action on. Ask for the highest rated new entree announced by a restaurant you are subscribed to.
• Coupon Codes – Even when Honey failed to find a relevant coupon, The Skinny was able to scrape all the coupon sites, as well as social posts, to find the best working codes.
• Product Information & Discovery – When on a product page you can ask what people are saying about it, find youtube reviews, get more product information than what is on the page, and find higher rated items from other makers with price comparison. It honestly has made online shopping more fun.
• Product help – Get click-by-click instructions on any site. I just explain my goal and ask what to do next and it will walk you through navigation and forums as well as provide the values when possible. Next step is allowing DOM manipulation.
Leave a review with any product feedback, and please add your own API key lol.
