Problem:

I always end up having to ask my actual question after the initial response from this button. That would make it faster for users to get answers. I, for one, would use the hell out of this if it were implemented. Since day one of ChatGPT's release I've been trying to figure out a quick way to ask a small question about something in the model's response without spending tokens and reducing the model's context for the current conversation.

Let me be lucid in stating that this extension has been the closest option I have ever found for doing this, and I am exceedingly grateful for the hard work ya'll have put into this project.

Possible solution:

Fancy way: As soon as clicking the button, a small input box titled "What is your question?" or something similar appeared, with a small button for sending the message. This could be done by assigning the user's input to a variable, and appending it to the selected text the user wants to ask about.

Simple way: just use the current code architecture, but change the prompt for the model, something like, "reply this to the user and nothing else: What is your question?"

Add. context:

I think doing this would speed up the learning process when using the ask button. Instead of waiting for the model's initial response about the selected text, the user could immediately jump into asking what they need to know, and save money on tokens over time.

This is one of the few advantages SiderAI has (Ctrl+J to ask about highlighted content), would love to have it here!
