About ChassistantGPT - embeds ChatGPT as a hands-free voice assistant in the background

ChassistantGPT is a free, open-source Chrome browser extension that embeds ChatGPT as a hands-free voice assistant that runs in the background. It allows users to interact with ChatGPT using a custom voice trigger phrase (default 'Hey girl') or a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + E). The extension supports over 60 languages and dialects, making it accessible to a global audience. Users can configure their native language and trigger phrase via the extension's options tab. Installation is available through the Chrome Web Store or via local/unpacked loading from the GitHub releases. While speech recognition requires Chrome, the underlying code works on all modern browsers. The project is licensed under MIT and welcomes contributions.
