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.
