About ViewPilot

I built ViewPilot because I kept forgetting to use GitHub Copilot. It just wasn't in my flow. So I made a sidebar that's always there — no tab witching, no breaking focus. Now, whenever I'm studying something or a question pops up, I just ask. It made Copilot actually useful for everyday browsing, not just coding. ✨ Features: • AI sidebar powered by GitHub Copilot — always one click away • 20+ models: GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and more • Reads your current page for context-aware answers • Web search integration (built-in free search, or Brave/Google Serper with your own API key) • Screenshot capture — single view or full-page scroll • Full-page text extraction and download • File attachments and drag-and-drop support • Chat history with import/export • In-chat search (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) • Copy messages, code blocks, or entire conversations to clipboard • Right-click context menu: "Ask ViewPilot" on selected text or page • Copilot quota usage tracking • Stop AI response generation anytime • Math rendering (LaTeX/KaTeX) • Font size control (10 levels) for accessibility • Google Docs and Sheets support • Multi-language: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish 📋 Requirements: • A GitHub Copilot subscription (Pro, Business, or Enterprise) • Signs in via GitHub Device Flow authentication 🔒 Privacy: • No data collection — ViewPilot does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data • All AI communication goes directly between your browser and the GitHub Copilot API • Web search only sends search queries — no personal data transmitted • No analytics, no tracking • Uses cookies only to check GitHub login status
