Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/PaoloJN/youtube-ai-extension.git cd youtube-chat-extension ``` 2. Add your OpenAI API key. Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual key in the files `chat.ts` and `completion.ts` ```typescript const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" }) ``` 3. Install the dependencies and build the project: ```bash pnpm install pnpm run build ``` 4. Load the extension into Chrome: 1. Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`. 2. Enable "Developer mode" by toggling the switch in the top right corner. 3. Click "Load unpacked" and select the `build/chrome-mv3-dev` directory from the project you just built. 5. Open YouTube and start chatting with videos! :) > The extension does not support the new YouTube layout. To revert to the old layout, use the uBlock Origin extension. The extension should then work correctly. ## License This project is licensed under the **[AGPL-3.0](https://opensource.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0)** for non-commercial use. ### Commercial Use For commercial use or deployments requiring a setup fee, please contact us for a commercial license at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
