Is StudyPal AI - Ultimate Homework Helper safe?
StudyPal AI sends submitted questions to OpenAI using a bearer API key bundled in the popup.
When a paid user submits a question, the popup posts it to api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions with an Authorization header containing a key shipped inside the extension. The popup also tries to prefill the question box with selected text from the active tab, so that selected page text can be included in the request.
