Purpose
UCG (full name Undetectable ChatGPT) is a Chrome browser extension primarily addressing the problem of "it being inconvenient to display an AI chat window on screen at school or work." It uses a covert method to send your questions to ChatGPT and returns answers without a visible chat interface, thereby allowing users to obtain AI assistance without being noticed by others. The developer states that the philosophy is that the use of AI should not be banned, but should be taught in academic and professional settings, because AI is crucial to future (and even present) success.
Main capabilities
According to the official description, UCG provides the following features:
- Send a screenshot of the current tab to ChatGPT;
- Send selected text in the tab to ChatGPT;
- Enter a prompt through the search bar and send it to ChatGPT;
- Use Ctrl+V (Command+V on Mac) to view ChatGPT's reply. There is also an additional feature: Mimic human typing on google docs.
How to use
To use UCG, you need to first register an account at smartstudi.com. After installing the Chrome extension, interact using the shortcut actions described above (screenshot, selected text, search bar input, Ctrl+V to view replies). The extension supports multiple languages, including English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, and Italian, among 14 languages.
Use cases and limitations
It is suitable for users who want to covertly use ChatGPT to assist with study or work and do not want visible chat records left on the screen. Because of the emphasis on "undetectable" features, users should pay attention to complying with the relevant rules of their school, institution, or workplace. The extension requires users to register a smartstudi.com account; specific information such as account types and whether there is a fee is not currently provided in the official materials. The developer states that user data will not be sold to third parties, will not be used for purposes unrelated to the core functionality, and will not be used for credit assessment or lending purposes. The extension has a rating of 2.6 out of 5 on the Chrome Web Store (with 5 ratings total), and the update date is January 19, 2025. The developer has not identified itself as a trader and cautions EU consumers that relevant consumer rights do not apply to their contract withthe developer.
