AI Chat Table of Contents
SideScribe is a Chrome Extension that generates a dynamic Table of Contents (TOC) for AI chat interfaces like Google Gemini and ChatGPT. It uses the Chrome Side Panel API to provide seamless navigation through long conversations without cluttering the main interface.
- 📑 Auto-generated TOC: Automatically parses headings and key sections from chat conversations.
- 🎯 Smart Navigation: Click any item to smooth-scroll to that position in the chat.
- 🕵️ Scroll Spy: Automatically highlights the active section in the TOC as you scroll.
- 💾 Local Caching: Remembers the TOC structure of your past conversations.
- 🌓 Theme Support: Seamlessly matches the host site’s Light/Dark theme for a native-feeling experience.
- Google Gemini (
gemini.google.com) - ChatGPT (
chatgpt.com)
