Cheap way. I honestly loved this extension, helped me with so many problems with college, life and work. Now they're asking for money; which made it lose value in my eyes. It was the best tool out there, but as long as money is an option, it wouldn't care.

It used to be a useful extension but not working anymore

felipe menegueti2022年5月29日

It used to be very good and useful, but now you have to pay to use it.

Fell off.

En su momento puse una review negativa porque pusieron la extensión de pago y con unos precios desorbitados, ahora la versión gratuita parece estar bien y la versión PRO tiene unos precios mas asequibles.

Era perfeito mesmo ! sou universitário e era uma ferramenta que ajudava muito, removendo e reportando abuso, caso queiram deixar premium porque não avisaram, não é o que e sim como foi feito

AI product read

AI-powered text and code assistant browser extension that provides in-context AI editing, explanation, and generation capabilities on any webpage

Helps developers and users quickly get AI assistance for code understanding, optimization, debugging, text summarization, translation, and editing without leaving their current browsing context

User selects text on any webpage → a tooltip appears → clicking the tooltip opens a popup menu with AI action options (explain, summarize, translate, optimize code, etc.) → action sends the selected text to an AI API (GPT-4o-mini via oi-vscode-server-2.onrender.com) → streaming response is displayed inline with markdown formatting and copy button. On GitHub, a dedicated 'Code Chat' button appears on code files. OCR workflow: user presses keyboard shortcut → selects screen area → screenshot is sent to blackboxapp.co for image-to-text extraction → result is copied to clipboard.

Target users: Software developers seeking inline code assistance / GitHub users wanting AI help understanding codebases / Knowledge workers needing text summarization/translation / Students learning to code

Extension is heavily minified/bundled (IIFE format), making detailed logic tracing difficult
The large content-ui/index.iife.js (3.1MB) was not fully analyzed due to size
The userid mechanism (how it gets populated and whether it gates API access) is unclear from the extension source alone

Monetization

No paid features detected

No payment UI, billing APIs, subscription gates, feature locks, or upgrade prompts found anywhere in the extension source code. Keywords like 'premium', 'upgrade', 'payment', 'stripe', and 'pricing' returned zero matches. The 'pro' matches are all React production build identifiers (react.production.min.js, react.profiler), not paid feature indicators. The deterministic heuristic confirmed isPaid=0. BLACKBOX.AI as a web service (blackbox.ai) likely has paid tiers, but the extension itself does not gate any features behind payment.

Confidence: 75
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / Medium
Login required: No
Reason: No login UI or authentication flow found in the extension source code. The content script sends an optional 'userid' header (from local storage, can be empty string) to the AI API endpoint at https://oi-vscode-server-2.onrender.com/v1/chat/completions, but no mechanism was found in the extension to set or obtain this userid through login. The popup and options pages contain no login forms, OAuth flows, or credential entry UI. The extension appears functional without authentication.
