Need a Second Pair of Eyes on My Chrome Extension’s UX (First Launch!)

Hi Product Hunt community!

I'm about to officially launch my first (free) Chrome extension — it's already live in the Chrome Web Store. It uses OpenAI's API, and I'm trying to simplify the UX, especially around how users enter their own API key. Any suggestions?

Also do you think the term “API key” might be off-putting or confusing for users who aren’t technical? I’d love your thoughts on how to handle that terminology better.

I’m also planning to make the toolbar icon functional for toggling the on-screen UI. If you’ve done something similar or have general Chrome Extension UX advice, I’d really appreciate any tips.

This is my first Chrome product launch, so all feedback is welcome!

If you want to try the extension, just install the extension and enter your OpenAI API key on the settings page. The key is stored securely in your browser’s local storage and is only sent directly to OpenAI to process your queries.

Thanks so much — looking forward to your thoughts!
