AI Page Summarizer Chrome Extension Generator
The classic 'summarize this page' extension: extract readable text, send it to an LLM, stream the answer into a side panel. This generator handles the API key storage and CSP details that usually trip people up.
Edit the prompt — it's just a starting point.
What gets generated
- User-supplied API key — nothing hardcoded, nothing proxied
- Readability-style main-content extraction before sending text
- Side panel UI with streaming output
- host_permissions scoped to the API endpoint only

Is it safe to store an API key in the extension?
chrome.storage.local keeps the key on the user's machine and out of your codebase. Never ship your own key inside a published extension — anyone can extract it.
