English writing is a critical aspect of communication in today's digital world. However, not everyone has the expertise to write professional, grammatically correct, and error-free texts, leading to low confidence and potential misunderstanding. The advancement of language models, specifically OpenAI's GPT-3, provides a solution to this problem by helping users to write better, more concise, and more persuasive English. In this talk, we will showcase how we built a Chrome extension that leverages the power of GPT-3 to help users write better English by highlighting any text on the web and rephrasing its sentiment.

The chatGPT Chrome extension is an open-source tool that can be used by anyone looking to improve their writing skills. The extension uses OpenAI's GPT-3 API to generate suggestions on how to improve the tone, grammar, and vocabulary of the text. By highlighting any text on the web and rephrasing its sentiment, the tool can help users to write more effectively, with greater clarity and impact.

In this talk, we will walk through the process of building this chatGPT chrome extension, including its architecture, the challenges we faced, and the solutions we implemented. We will also demonstrate how this extension can be used to convert informal writing into a more professional form, and how it can increase the accessibility of English writing.

The audience will learn about the cutting-edge technology behind this extension, how it can be applied to other domains, and how it can be modified to suit their specific needs. Additionally, attendees will get a chance to see a live demo of the extension in action and provide feedback on its functionality and usability.
