the difference.
◉ A is better Example judgment
A follows the requested blue color and ivory setting. B is well composed, but changes both.

LESS GUESSWORK. MORE UNDERSTANDING.
A thoughtful pause.
A better perspective.
When two answers both look good, the difference is in the details. Second Look brings the original request, both responses, and the available evidence into one focused comparison.

Take a second look.
Click Compare. The AI assesses each response against the request, using only the evidence you provide.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR JUDGMENT
Helpful by nature.
Honest by design.
Your workflow.
A little more perspective.
Open Second Look in Chrome’s side panel, beside the work you’re reviewing. Capture what you need without losing your place.
Evidence over impressions.
See how each response follows the prompt, where it adds value, and what it misses. The reasoning is specific to your comparison.
Prompt→Evidence→Insight
Room for uncertainty.
Sometimes it’s a tie. Sometimes there isn’t enough evidence. Second Look can say both, and surfaces limitations instead of hiding them.
Not enough evidence
You choose what gets shared.
Nothing is sent for comparison until you click Compare. Selected content then goes to this hosted backend and OpenAI for processing. Your provider API key stays on the server; drafts stay in panel memory. The extension doesn’t submit ratings for you.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
A little clarity,
before you begin.
Everything you need for your first second look.
What does Second Look actually do?+
It compares two AI responses against the original prompt and returns an overall preference, confidence, an explanation, observations about each response, and evidence limitations. It’s an AI-assisted second opinion: review the explanation and use your own judgment.
How do I install the extension?+
Download and unzip the extension. Open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and choose the extracted second-look folder containing manifest.json. Pin the extension, then add your access token in Connection settings. The hosted endpoint is already configured. Follow the installation guide.
Do I need an account or an API key?+
You need a backend access token supplied privately by the administrator of this deployment. You do not put an OpenAI API key in the extension. Comparisons use the administrator’s configured API account and may incur provider usage charges. Downloading the extension alone does not grant service access.
What can it assess in audio and video?+
Audio is normalized to mono at 24 kHz and assessed for content and audible quality. Video uses 12 timestamped frames plus soundtrack analysis. It does not continuously analyze motion or verify audiovisual synchronization. Clips must be at most 3 minutes; the result explains evidence limitations.
What happens to my data?+
Clicking Compare sends your selected prompt, responses, and media to this backend, which forwards the required evidence to OpenAI. Requests disable model response storage, but provider retention rules still apply. The backend doesn’t log comparison content. When a media host you have allowed requires sign-in, Chrome can use your existing session to download the selected file. The extension does not read those cookies or send them to the comparison backend. Temporary audio files are removed after processing. Drafts clear when the panel is destroyed, and the access token clears when your browser session ends.
Does it work on every website?+
You can select text and native images, audio, or video on regular webpages. Protected media, embedded players, closed shadow roots, and some streaming content may need a manual upload instead. After switching tabs or navigating to another site, click the Second Look toolbar icon on that website to allow page selection. This keeps your side panel and draft open. Chrome’s own settings pages and the Chrome Web Store cannot be selected. Media-host access is requested only when needed.
