Context-aware AI in the browser
Prompt Paul
Short feedback loops for selected text, without ceremony.
Get AI insight from selected text, page context, images, audio, video, and PDFs without leaving your browser. Prompt Paul turns the moment you are already in into a quick, focused conversation — with optional web grounding and guarded actions on the current page.
Composer-led context
Web grounding
Guarded page actions
ChatGPT sign-in
Select
Highlight text, media, or page content and choose the action you need.
Respond
Receive concise analysis, proofreading, explanation, or custom instruction output.
Stay focused
No tab switching. No ceremony. Just a short loop from question to answer.
What it does
Built for fast context work.
Prompt Paul is designed around the small decisions that happen while reading, writing, debugging, researching, and drafting. It keeps the loop short and leaves the page where it belongs.
Selected text actions
Analyze, explain, proofread, summarize, or run a custom prompt against selected text from the context menu or side panel.
Composer-led context
See selected text, page content, and media as removable context chips beside the input. Detach one context without losing the conversation, then use the quick actions that fit.
Page-aware chat
Load the current page into the side panel, ask follow-up questions, and keep the page context attached to the conversation. Long pages are trimmed to fit the model context.
Web search grounding
Turn on Web when a current or verifiable answer would benefit from live Brave Search results. Prompt Paul may search, then adds a first-party Sources section to the answer.
Current-page actions
Turn on Act to let Prompt Paul inspect and use standard controls on the current page. Approvals, fresh snapshots, and hard blocks keep passwords, payments, destructive actions, JavaScript, and cross-tab work out of scope.
Media and PDF context
Work with images, video, audio, and PDF text when your model supports the input. Right click media or load a PDF from the Page action to bring it into the conversation.
Save custom instructions
Store repeatable workflows for emails, meeting notes, captions, research summaries, code explanations, product descriptions, and support replies.
Tools and Agent Skills
Use custom HTTP(S) tools or OpenClaw-compatible Agent Skills when a task needs more than
a plain response. Invoke built-in skills with /skills or /skill.
Codex subscription
Connect a ChatGPT subscription with Sign in with ChatGPT. Prompt Paul creates a local Codex profile, discovers supported models, and keeps OAuth credentials out of backups.
Inline recovery
Stop a run while it streams, then Retry, Edit, or Continue from the response. Continue builds on the previous answer instead of starting a disconnected chat.
Workflow
Three moves. No ceremony.
Select text or page context
Use the context menu, right-click media, load a PDF or page, or open the side panel from the toolbar.
Choose an action
Pick a saved instruction, use a contextual quick action, enable Web or Act when needed, or ask a one-off question.
Get the loop back
Return to the page with a concise answer, proof, summary, source list, or next step — with recovery controls if you need another pass.
Compatible providers
Bring your model.
Prompt Paul works with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, local model setups, and a Codex subscription connection. Choose the profile that fits your workflow; Hermes is available as a separate gateway integration.

Privacy
Local settings. Explicit sends.
Prompt Paul keeps configuration in Chrome storage and only sends content to your chosen LLM endpoint when you explicitly ask it to process something.
- API keys and settings stay in Chrome storage; Codex subscription credentials are kept background-only and excluded from backups.
- Web grounding is off by default. When enabled, a model-generated query may be sent to Brave Search; the Brave key stays local.
- Act is off by default. When enabled, bounded page metadata is sent to your chosen model for that run; sensitive fields and unsafe actions are blocked.
- Analytics are opt-in and send only coarse labels — never page URLs, page content, API keys, or prompt text.
- Restricted browser pages are blocked before extraction.
View full privacy policy
At Prompt Paul, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we may collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to safeguard your information.
Information We Collect
Optional analytics collect only coarse event labels, such as instruction name, model name, and tool names, to improve the extension. Analytics are disabled by default.
Content you choose to process
Prompt Paul sends selected text, page content, media, or PDF text to the model endpoint you configure only when you explicitly invoke processing. With Web enabled, a model-generated search query may also be sent to Brave Search. With Act enabled, bounded DOM metadata from the current page may be sent for that run.
How We Use Your Information
- To analyze usage statistics and improve the functionality of Prompt Paul.
- To understand user behavior and preferences to enhance the extension’s features.
- To ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Data Collection Practices
We do not send page URLs, page titles, page content, API keys, or prompt text to analytics. We do not sell or share analytics data for marketing. Your configured model provider and Brave Search receive only the content needed for the feature you invoke; review their terms and retention policies separately.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the data we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You can disable analytics, Web grounding, or Act separately in Prompt Paul Options. You can also remove saved API keys and uninstall the extension. Content processing is explicit, while Web and Act are separate opt-in permissions.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact us via the Chrome Web Store listing page.
Thank you for using Prompt Paul.
Questions & FAQ
Quick answers.
The short version: Prompt Paul is for people who want AI help close to the text they are already working with.
What does Prompt Paul send to the model?
Only the selected text, page content, media, or instruction you explicitly choose to process, plus your API configuration and prompt.
Where are API keys stored?
API keys are stored in Chrome storage on your device and are sent only when you send a prompt or run an action.
Can I use local or self-hosted models?
Yes, if they expose an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. LM Studio and similar local setups can work when configured correctly.
Can I save repeatable instructions?
Yes. Custom instructions can be saved and reused for common workflows like email replies, summaries, captions, research notes, and code explanations.
Does it support tools or Agent Skills?
Yes. Prompt Paul supports custom HTTP(S) tools and OpenClaw-compatible Agent Skills.
Skills can be listed or invoked with /skills and /skill.
Can Prompt Paul search the web?
Yes, when you configure a Brave Search API key and enable Web. Search is optional and model-directed, so Prompt Paul may answer directly or return a cited Sources section. Brave pricing and quotas apply.
Can it act on the current page?
Act is a separate default-off permission for bounded inspect, click, fill, select, and scroll actions. State-changing actions ask for approval by default, and sensitive or unsafe actions remain blocked.
Can I use my ChatGPT subscription?
A Codex connection can use Sign in with ChatGPT. The extension discovers supported models for the connected subscription and keeps its OAuth credentials out of backups.
What happens to analytics?
Analytics are opt-in. When enabled, they send coarse event labels such as instruction name, model name, and tool names. They do not send page content, URLs, titles, API keys, or prompt text.
