Sloth Search is a Chrome extension that helps you get fast, page-aware answers without leaving the website you’re reading. Instead of searching the whole web, it focuses on the content already open in your current tab. When you ask a question, Sloth Search pulls the readable text from the page, looks for the most relevant passages, and then uses OpenAI’s GPT to turn those passages into a clear, well‑formatted response.
This makes it especially useful on long, text-heavy pages where the information is present but hard to locate quickly—such as Wikipedia articles, documentation pages, research posts, or lengthy guides. Rather than manually scanning headings and paragraphs, you can ask direct questions and receive a concise explanation based on what the page actually says.
Under the hood, Sloth Search follows a simple workflow: it extracts the page text, selects snippets related to your query, and uses those snippets as context for GPT to generate an answer. The goal is to keep the response grounded in the current page, so you can understand or summarize the page’s content more efficiently.
Whether you’re trying to confirm a fact mentioned in an article, clarify a concept explained in a section you haven’t reached yet, or get a quick summary of what you’re reading, Sloth Search acts like a lightweight assistant for the page in front of you—turning dense content into usable answers in seconds. more
