🌉 BridgeContext

The local-first bridge between AI silos.

BridgeContext is a Chrome Extension designed for "model-polyglot" AI power users. It allows you to seamlessly capture context from one AI platform (like ChatGPT) and "inject" it into another (like Claude or Gemini) with zero copy-pasting and 100% local privacy.

🚀 Why BridgeContext?

We live in an era of model fragmentation. One AI is better at coding, another at creative writing, and a third at long-context analysis. Moving your conversational "brain" between them is a manual, high-friction process.

BridgeContext removes that friction.

✨ Key Features

Web Shuttles (v1.4.2): Instant 1-click transport to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Universal Capture: Robust scraping engine for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, and more.
Smart Injection: Injects context directly into chat inputs, supporting complex React and Svelte frameworks.
Local-Only Memory: Your context never leaves your machine. Data is stored securely in your browser's local sandbox.
Expert Packs: Pre-loaded with specialized personas (Architect, API Master) to prime your AI conversations.
Unified IDE Bridge: Direct context piping into VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Neovim, and Antigravity IDE.

🛠️ How it Works

Bridge: Click "Bridge Context" in the popup on any AI page to save the current thread.
Shuttle: Or click a model button (e.g., Claude) to instantly shuttle context to a new tab.
Inject: On the target AI page, BridgeContext will prompt you to "Bridge Context?"—one click and your memory is injected.

🔒 Privacy First

BridgeContext was built with a privacy-native architecture:

No Remote Servers: v1.4.1 is 100% local. We have no backend.
Zero Collection: We do not track what you capture or inject.
Open Source: Verify the logic yourself in our scraper.js and storage.js.
