AI-MarkDone manual

A compact manual for the ChatGPT extension itself: why it exists, where each control is, and when each action is useful.

Why it exists

AI-MarkDone started from a simple personal need: useful ChatGPT answers kept becoming hard to read, hard to copy, and hard to find again after a few days.

The original page is better for chatting than for careful reading. Once an answer gets long, buttons, sidebars, references, and scrolling all start competing with the work itself.

What it adds

AI-MarkDone does not replace ChatGPT. It stays on the original page and adds the practical layer around useful answers: Reader, source-aware copy, annotations, bookmarks, export, backup, and settings.

Reader has one plain goal: give the answer a quieter, more immersive place to be read.

Start with the answer in front of you

Do not treat AI-MarkDone as a separate writing app. Open it when a ChatGPT answer is already useful enough that you want to read, copy, mark, save, or export it.

  1. Install AI-MarkDone from Chrome Web Store and refresh ChatGPT once.
  2. Open Reader when the answer needs careful reading or exact selection.
  3. Use bookmarks when an answer is worth finding again later.
  4. Save a bookmark or export only after the answer is worth keeping.

The moments it is built for

If you often ask ChatGPT to revise an article, polish a sentence, or rewrite a paragraph, the painful part is rarely the whole answer. Usually you are unhappy with a few exact lines.

For those moments, select the sentence in Reader, add an annotation, and send the collected notes back as a more concrete follow-up.

If an answer is worth keeping, save it as a bookmark before it disappears into the thread. The bookmark panel becomes closer to a small material library than a browser history list.

Export is for the moment when a link is not enough. Some answers need to become notes, archives, documents, images, or material for someone else.
