From Highlight to Issue in One Click

Thoth lives in the context menu. Highlight text on any webpage, right-click an image, or paste from the clipboard — and the extension generates a structured GitHub issue with an AI-written title and description, opens it in the target repo, and gets out of the way.

Template-Aware by Design

The extension detects a repository's issue templates and feeds them to the model so the generated issue actually matches the team's conventions — no more blank-form bug reports or PMs having to reformat everything by hand.

Multi-Repository, Multi-Org

Loads the authenticated user's personal and organization repos via the GitHub API with fine-grained scope (repo, read:org). Users pick which sources to expose, so the context menu stays focused on the repos they're actively working on.

Privacy-Respecting by Default

API keys are stored in Chrome's encrypted sync storage and the extension only ever talks to OpenAI and GitHub directly. No intermediate servers, no telemetry — the whole pipeline is auditable from the open-source manifest.

Shipped and Automated

GitHub Actions handles versioning, artifact builds, and automated Chrome Web Store uploads on every push to main — turning a weekend dev-tool idea into a properly released Manifest V3 extension.
