Usage
==========

Compose
=========

- Open https://chat.openai.com/ and ensure you are properly logged in.
- Go to https://mail.yahoo.com and open Compose.
- Now type your command in the subject area eg: "Write an email wishing merry Christmas to my boss"
- Hit enter while being focused on the subject. Watch the ChatGPT window pop up and provide you with the response.
- You can ask for followup questions for the same email by typing in the text-area of the ChatGPT pop-up. eg: "Make it more verbose".

Message Read synopsis
===========

- Open https://chat.openai.com/ and ensure you are properly logged in.
- Go to https://mail.yahoo.com and open any email you are interested in.
- You should see a ChatGPTfy button on the toolbar.
- Click on the button. This should pop-up a ChatGPT window on the right side of the screen and provide you with extraction from the email.
- You can also ask for follow-up question for the same email by asking stuff like "Generate a reply to this email thanking for the information"

Update the default query for ChatGPTfy button for MessageRead.
=======================

- The way ChatGPTfy works is that we construct a query asking ChatGPT to extract meaningful info from the text of the email body.
- So if you wish you can change the default query to ChatGPT by doing the following
- Tap on the extensions button next to the address bar in Chrome.
- Now tap on the ChatGPT for Yahoo Mail
- This will bring up a text area where you can enter your own default query eg: "Generate a reply to this email"
- And then click on Update button.
- If at anytime you wish to revert back to default, you can click the Restore to Default button

Important info/ Under the hood
============
- Every instance of a ChatGPT window is in its own context/ conversation. So the follow-up questions will work as long as you are in the same window.
- The window can span multiple messages/ compose too. So you can visit a messageRead page, click on ChatGPTfy button and then if you visit compose without closing the window then the context will be retained. So if you can write a follow-up query like Generate a response to the email and it will provide you with the response. Or you can say provide the "ticket number" / " tracking number"
- We delete the previous response once you ask another follow up question. However if you need you can also go to https://chat.openai.com/ and see the most recent conversation and all its history.
- Please note that in order to keep your chat history clean on OpenAI, we delete the conversation once you close the "ChatGPT window"
- Some times you might face issues where there will be no response from ChatGPT. To fix it just go to https://chat.openai.com/ and log out and login again.
- The extension is solely using client side solution and hence is more secure.
