When reading inside ChatGPT, some parts stand out.
A sentence feels confusing.
A paragraph feels important.
An idea deserves a closer look.
HighlightGPT is a lightweight tool that helps you understand highlighted text directly inside ChatGPT.
You highlight.
You ask.
You get clarity — without leaving the conversation.
What Is HighlightGPT?
HighlightGPT is an AI assistant designed specifically for reading and understanding content within ChatGPT.
Instead of rephrasing your question or copying text into a new prompt, you simply highlight the part you care about and interact with it in context.
With HighlightGPT, you can:
- Ask what a highlighted passage means
- Get a concise explanation
- Request a summary or rewrite
- Explore implications or examples
All grounded in the text you selected.
Why Highlighting Matters in ChatGPT
Highlighting is a natural way people read and think.
It signals:
- Confusion
- Importance
- Curiosity
But most AI interactions ignore this signal.
HighlightGPT is built around the idea that what you highlight is what you want to understand.
By anchoring responses to highlighted text, the assistant becomes more precise, focused, and helpful.
How It Works
The workflow is intentionally simple:
- Highlight text inside ChatGPT
- Use HighlightGPT to ask a question
- Get a response based on that exact highlight
No need to restate context.
No need to explain what you’re referring to.
The AI already knows.
What You Can Use It For
HighlightGPT works best when you are reading or thinking inside ChatGPT, such as:
- Long explanations or answers
- Technical or conceptual content
- Step-by-step reasoning
- Dense or abstract ideas
It helps you slow down, zoom in, and understand — without breaking your flow.
Designed to Stay Out of the Way
HighlightGPT is intentionally minimal.
It doesn’t try to automate reading.
It doesn’t replace thinking.
It simply responds when you highlight something and ask.
You stay in control of:
- What you focus on
- What you question
- How deep you go
Who Is HighlightGPT For?
- People who read long answers in ChatGPT
- Developers and builders exploring complex ideas
- Learners who like to ask follow-up questions in context
- Anyone who prefers understanding over skimming
If you already use ChatGPT to read, think, or learn, HighlightGPT fits naturally into that workflow.
A Small Feature with a Clear Purpose
HighlightGPT doesn’t try to be everywhere.
It’s designed for one place — inside ChatGPT — and one purpose:
helping you understand what you choose to highlight.
Sometimes, the best tools are the ones that quietly make thinking easier.
