Hi, Anyone who can translate this? Gimei? Asking for a friend.. thxs!

Made a small extenion that analyse the page you're on and (try) to give you more information. If anyone is interested let me know and i send the instructions over. you do need an openAI API (small fee) it's gpt so hallucinations can be included

Thxs for the info @DirkO
