The Skinny uses context from the active tab to perform research on it's content including company information, social exposure, even page items (such as clothing). Powered by Grok4 for advanced reasoning and search parameters with formatted responses.
Ways I've been surprised by The Skinny:
• Recipes – It can remove the fluff from recipe sites and return a clean ingredient list with cooking instructions. You can tell it about dietary restrictions, ingredient alternatives, or convert it for different serving sizes.
• Gmail – Ask if you have any important emails you need to take action on. Ask for the highest rated new entree announced by a restaurant you are subscribed to.
• Coupon Codes – Even when Honey failed to find a relevant coupon, The Skinny was able to scrape all the coupon sites, as well as social posts, to find the best working codes.
• Product Information & Discovery – When on a product page you can ask what people are saying about it, find youtube reviews, get more product information than what is on the page, and find higher rated items from other makers with price comparison. It honestly has made online shopping more fun.
• Product help – Get click-by-click instructions on any site. I just explain my goal and ask what to do next and it will walk you through navigation and forums as well as provide the values when possible. Next step is allowing DOM manipulation.
• Paywall articles – As long as the article is added to the DOM, Skinny can read it and give you all the information in a more digestible way. You can also do deep dives on certain topics to learn more than what the article provides
@jinsoncjohny Nope, it just uses what it can see on the screen, which turns out to be a lot in gmails case. There are options for deeper integration, but I like that it doesn't ask too many questions to start using it
