🧠ChatGPT Alternative: BrainWave AI
ChatGPT is great, but it requires constant tab switching. Every time you need AI help, you leave what you're doing, go to chat.openai.com, paste your text, wait, then copy the result back.
BrainWave AI is different. It lives in your browser. Select any text, right-click, get AI help instantly — without leaving the page you're on.
💡 Key Difference: ChatGPT is a destination. BrainWave is a tool that goes where you work. No tabs, no copy-paste, no context switching.
