Best product for this task
HighlightGPT is a lightweight browser extension that upgrades how you use ChatGPT. When you’re reading long replies, code explanations or API docs, simply highlight any part of the text and ask a follow-up question with one click. Answers open in a clean side panel, so you keep the main chat visible while deep-diving into specific lines. Perfect for debugging, learning unfamiliar code and staying in flow.

What to expect from an ideal product
- Highlight any specific part of ChatGPT's response and ask your follow-up question directly about that text instead of trying to reference it in a new message
- Keep the original conversation visible in the main chat while your follow-up answers appear in a side panel, so you never lose track of the full context
- Skip the hassle of copying and pasting text snippets or typing out "In the part where you mentioned..." to clarify which section you're asking about
- Ask multiple follow-up questions about different parts of the same response without cluttering your main chat thread or confusing the conversation flow
- Get instant clarification on specific lines of code, explanations, or concepts without starting over or losing your place in longer ChatGPT responses
