What ScreenChat does
ScreenChat is a Chrome extension that lets you ask questions about the page you are on. For each request, ScreenChat sends your prompt, the current page URL, and an optional screenshot only if you enable Attach Screen. ScreenChat runs in the browser side panel and supports bring-your-own AI provider keys.
Information ScreenChat collects
- The current page URL for the tab where you use ScreenChat.
- An optional screenshot of the current page when you enable Attach Screen for a request.

- An optional profile name stored only in local browser extension storage when you choose to save one.
- Your AI provider API key only in local extension storage on your device when you choose to save one for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, NVIDIA NIM, or OpenRouter.
