Here's the workflow most of us use:
Open ChatGPT in a new tab
Copy your draft or context
Paste it in, get a response
Copy the output
Switch back, paste it in
Lose your place entirely
That's 6 steps for one sentence. We do this dozens of times a day.
Clico eliminates all of it. It's a Chrome extension that lives inside every text field on every website.
Press ⌘+O anywhere you type — Gmail, Notion, Google Docs, Slack, LinkedIn, Reddit — and AI drafts, rewrites, or continues your text right there. It already knows what page you're on and what you've written. No context-pasting needed.
Other shortcuts:
Highlight any text → instant AI search result, no new tab
Double-tap ⌘ → structured summary of any page in seconds
Hold ⌘ → voice input directly into any text field
Free. No API key. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc.
If you write anything in your browser, this is the upgrade you didn't know you needed.

The workflow you're removing isn't inefficient, it's broken in a way people stopped noticing. Six steps for one sentence isn't a productivity gap. It's a friction tax that everyone pays until someone points out they're paying it. You pointed.
Solid pain point. The other bottleneck I keep hitting is when the idea is in my head but copy/paste friction makes me delay typing it. The habit that stuck was push-to-talk capture so the text lands in the current field without swapping tabs or pasting context.
Disclosure: I’m helping with Wispr Flow outreach, so I’m affiliated on that side. If anyone wants to test the active-capture workflow (hold to talk, release to insert), here’s the tracked referral I’m using: https://wisprflow.ai/r?ANTON578&utm_source=indiehackers&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=wispr_referral&utm_content=clico_active_capture
Curious if your users lean more on voice-in-field or pure keyboard flow once they install?
Looks sharp!
