Show HN: PageToChat – Use your own LLM account from any web page via right-click

https://pagetochat.com/
1•jviksne•1h ago
I built PageToChat, a Chrome extension that lets you invoke an LLM from any page via the right-click menu. What’s different: it doesn’t sell credits. It just opens your chosen provider in a new tab, selects the right model, fills your prompt, and uploads attachments-using the LLM account you already have.

Why?

Most “AI from any page” tools proxy your data or make you buy credits. I wanted something transparent that:

- stays in your browser,

- uses the official provider UI,

- and doesn’t require another wallet of tokens.

How it works

1. Right-click -> PageToChat.

2. A sidebar appears where you choose:

- Provider & model

- Chat mode: temporary (ephemeral) or persistent

- Prompt (or pick from saved ones)

- Attachments (auto-detected):

* page screenshot

* page content (with/without HTML)

* selected text (if you had text highlighted)

* image (if you clicked on an image)

* site-specific extras (today: Twitter/X threads and Gmail email threads)

3. Hit Send → we open the provider tab, pick the model, enable temporary mode if needed, fill the prompt, upload attachments, and (optionally) auto-submit.

"Quick actions" (custom context menu items)

You can save presets—provider, model, prompt, and which attachments to include—and they show up as extra right-click items. Clicking one fires the whole flow automatically.

Pricing

- Free: all features, 1 saved quick action, occasional small sidebar ad (no page context sent to ads).

- Power: multiple quick actions, no ads. (Feedback welcome on this split-happy to tweak based on what HN finds fair.)

What makes it different

- No middleman credits; uses your existing LLM account.

- Zero copy-pasting between tabs.

- Context-aware attachments (and growing list of site-specific integrations).

What I’d love feedback on

- Missing providers/models you want first.

- Additional site-specific attachments (Docs? GitHub issues/PRs? Notion pages?).

- Default attachment choices you’d expect for common workflows.

Happy to answer anything - privacy, permissions, roadmap, bugs. If you try it, I’d love to hear what breaks on your setup and what would make it a daily driver.
