BLUF

A web assistant powered by artificial intelligence

BLUF is a browser extension that uses ChatGPT to provide information about the current webpage. It can summarize content up to 50,000 words and is available on Chrome and Firefox.
Features:

  • Ask: Get the information you need without unwanted details. AI helps filter and present the data efficiently.
  • Summarize: Quickly get the main points of any text and ask follow-up questions.
  • Explain: Understand complex topics with clear explanations.
    BLUF is an AI-powered extension designed to help users get concise answers, summaries, and explanations while browsing the web. It aims to improve efficiency by cutting through unnecessary information and delivering the key message directly.
    The extension is compatible with Chrome and Firefox, with plans to expand to other browsers in the future. This allows users to access its features regardless of their browser choice.
    In BLUF, a prompt is any interaction with the extension, such as a text query, summary request, or explanation of a webpage. The extension counts multiple questions in a single message as one prompt, enhancing user experience. If the extension fails to process a prompt, it does not count towards the user’s monthly quota.
    Users can use the prompt feature to request summaries or explanations of pages. However, for larger content, BLUF provides dedicated buttons for summarizing and explaining, which are better suited to handle extensive information.
    BLUF prioritizes user privacy by collecting only non-content-related usage data. While it processes the content of your prompts, it does not store this information. OpenAI, the backend processor, retains the data for no more than 30 days, aligning with their data retention policy.
    BLUF is a tool that brings the essentials of the web to your fingertips.
