My Chat Saver Chrome Extension – Feedback Wanted!

[Uncle Gizmo]

How to Install and Test My Chat Saver Chrome Extension:

I forgot to mention you need to have your Chrome extension interface set to developer mode to use personal Chrome extensions for further information see the following notes:-

Is Developer Mode Safe?
Using Chrome in Developer Mode for your custom extension is generally safe if you trust your own code. Risks come from bypassing Google’s security checks, so avoid loading untrusted extensions.

Why Developer Mode?
Chrome requires it for unpublished extensions since they aren’t signed or vetted.

Alternatives:
Private Chrome Web Store Listing: Upload it unlisted ($5 fee), no Developer Mode needed.
Local Policy: Whitelist it via admin settings, avoids Developer Mode.
Firefox: Test there instead; it’s more flexible with unsigned extensions.

Recommendation:
Stick with Developer Mode for now if it’s just local use. For a cleaner solution, privately publish it to the Web Store.

Caveat!! You need to make this decision yourself I'm not giving you advice!

Tony, that chatgpt link does not work. Errant /c with it.

Hi Paul, Re:- Tony, that chatgpt link does not work. Errant /c with it. >>> Do you mean that the tool for saving a ChatGPT thread is not working properly?

It could be that you are using a slightly different version of ChatGPT. The Chat Saver Chrome Extension needs a URL in the following format when saving a ChatGPT text Window >>>

https://chatgpt.com/c/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh! I understand --- those are not supposed to be links in their own right, they are examples of the correct link format, the format of the link that the Chrome extension detects ... this prevents the extension working on Pages other than chat GPT and Grok, where you might get strange results !!!

If open AI or Elon Musk change the link format then the code will fail - I did mention that somewhere... I mentioned that, because it's already happened with chat GPT at least once !!!

In fact a recent update to Grok is a separate website interface which I've just started using .... The Chrome extension still works with the original Grok interface through the X app, but it will not work on the new updated Grok interface which has a URL similar to this:- https://grok.com/chat/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- I'm going to amend the Chrome extension code so that it will also work with the new Grok URL's...

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

I think a "find and replace routine" might be handy! Every time I say Grok it writes Rock. If I say it many times in a transcription then being able to "find and replace" will be a nice feature!

In Extensions on your extension, I have Errors in red.
Clicking on that shows me ??? but it appears to be working OK?

Well spotted Paul, Yes, I spotted the same error. Initially it used to throw a pop-up message box which was bloody annoying! however a slight change to the code stopped the Pop-Up but the error message is still logged. I've had a chat with chatty and chatty's quite happy with it !!!

What is amazing though, and funny in a strange way, is that you would think that using a large language model would reduce your workload ... It's been the opposite for me ... The large language models do an amazing amount of work writing code and writing text and things but my workload has increased in the management of the large language models! It's quite an intensive and stressful, a new class of task..

My output of work has increased and the difficulty of the tasks I undertake has increased and what I am learning, well it's difficult to know how to interpret that, but I am definitely learning.

I'm beginning to suspect I shall never write another line of code! I will just ask a large language model to write it... but this means I can move on strategically ... but I'm still a novice in this strategic sense but I'm moving forward, making mistakes and that's the way to learn!

 

[Gasman]

Well I might ask for tips, like I would with a quick Google.
Perhaps the lazy people who cannot be bothered to even google might try ChatGPT?, though I doubt it.

From Nifty Transcription Tool to Full-Blown AI Project Builder!

Hey folks!

Some of you might remember my Nifty Transcription Tool, a Chrome extension that takes my speech, transcribes it, and saves it as text. That was fun—but, naturally, I couldn’t stop there.

What’s New?

I’ve taken the concept way beyond transcription. Now, I’m using my custom ChatGPT interface to build an AI-powered project creation tool.

Here’s the grand plan:

1. Folder Structure First – A project isn’t just code; it’s a set of structured files and folders. Before writing a single line of Python, I define the folder structure with ChatGPT.

2. Store Everything in SQLite – Once agreed, the structure is locked into an SQLite database—no more redoing project scaffolding every time.

3. Automated Python Script Generation – When I request a Python script, ChatGPT already knows where it belongs and follows my predefined script header format, including the script name and UNC path.

4. AI-Assisted Code Assembly – The system ensures each script follows a consistent template-based structure, making automation seamless.

Why?

Because LLMs are great at writing code, but terrible at remembering structure. Instead of manually guiding ChatGPT every time, I’m storing project details in SQLite so it has instant context when generating new scripts.

Next Phase: OpenAI API Agent STK?

I just discovered OpenAI’s Agent STK, which allows me to store gigabytes of data and give direct API access to ChatGPT. That means I could take my SQLite-based system to the next level, storing and retrieving massive structured datasets for AI-assisted development.

Now the real question:

Do I finish perfecting my current system first, or…

Jump straight into OpenAI Agent STK and see how deep the rabbit hole goes?


Either way, this is just the beginning of fully automating AI-powered project creation tools.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Have any of you played with Agent STK yet?

Cheers,
Uncle Gizmo
