Description
Prompt optimizer and text rephraser for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and editable text on the web. AskBetter helps you write better prompts and cleaner text — directly where you already work, without switching tabs. Bring your own API key from Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic. Gemini has a free tier, so you can start without a credit card. There is no subscription and no middleman: requests go straight from your browser to the provider you picked. TWO MODES Ask Better — adds an Optimize button inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini (or press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+O). It rewrites your current prompt using your selected preset and provider, then shows the result in a non-destructive preview you can edit, compare, refine, and accept. Your original is never overwritten until you say so. Phrase Better — right-click any selected text on the web to rephrase it. By default it fixes grammar, spelling, and punctuation while keeping your original wording and tone. You can also pick a preset — rephrase, casual reply, or formal message — and stack optional adjustments like keep my voice, humanize, polish wording, or add a little wit. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Non-destructive preview — review every rewrite before it touches your text. Accept, Regenerate, edit inline, or Discard. • Diff view — see exactly which words changed between your original and the rewrite. • Refine — follow up in plain language ("make it shorter", "more formal") and iterate without starting over. • Multiple options — optionally generate 2–3 rewrites in one call and pick the best. • Token and cost estimate — each rewrite shows approximate tokens and cost, so there are no billing surprises. • Prompt History — a local list of your recent rewrites (original → optimized) you can copy and reuse. • Reports — a local 30-day chart of your usage by provider and by mode, with an approximate total cost. • Always-current models — model lists load live from each provider, so newly released models appear without an extension update. PRESETS 17 built-in presets: 13 for prompts and 4 for rephrasing. • Core rewrite — story structured, concise, fix grammar, improve clarity • Communication style — persuasive, executive brief, coaching tone, email rephrase/rewrite • Critical thinking — devil's advocate, first principles, risk audit • Build and delivery — technical spec, implementation plan • Phrase Better — fix grammar, rephrase, casual reply, formal message You can also create your own: name a preset, write its rewrite instruction, and it appears in the picker alongside the built-ins. Reusable Custom Prompt Additions let you layer on tone, thinking style, perspective, and output format, and a Keep my voice option preserves your writing style while improving the prompt.
