ViewWheel, the Comment Context Tool

Field notes

ViewWheel presents comment analysis as a staged browser workflow rather than a generic chatbot prompt: expand the thread, expose loaded replies, mark passages, and submit selected text for analysis. Its tutorial uses 25 main comments plus 75 replies as fixed simulated data, and the installation package is loaded manually through Chrome or Edge’s developer-mode extension screen. The site distinguishes this demonstration from the real extension, which it says can route comment text through a configured backend to a third-party AI service.
