Tacit by Tacit

Keep quick questions beside the text.

Long ChatGPT conversations can make it difficult to find the passage you were reading. Tacit lets you select text, ask a quick follow-up, and read the answer in a side note connected to the original passage—so you can explore small questions without repeatedly scrolling back through the conversation.

Ask what something means, why it works, or for an example. Customize your quick questions, keep multiple notes beside a response, and show or hide notes while reading. Hand-drawn connectors make it easy to see which passage each note belongs to.

The interface supports English and Simplified Chinese, selected automatically from your browser’s interface language.

How it works

Tacit works on chatgpt.com and requires you to sign in to ChatGPT. No separate Tacit account or API key is required.

Quick questions are sent through ChatGPT’s normal input box. The questions and answers remain part of your ChatGPT conversation; Tacit hides the associated exchanges from the page view and presents the answers in side notes. It does not delete those messages or reduce the conversation’s underlying history.

Privacy

Selected text and surrounding context, questions, answer previews, settings, and message identifiers are stored locally in your browser. Tacit does not upload these records to developer servers, add advertisements, or collect analytics.

When you submit a quick question, the selected text and question are sent to ChatGPT and handled under OpenAI’s terms and privacy policy.
