Simple Wikiclaudia: Chrome extension that finds a simple.wikipedia.org version of any wiki article. If one exists, click to open it; otherwise, it uses Claude or ChatGPT to simplify it.

I don't think anyone would be upset if the extension would just redirect to simple wiki.

Once again, no reason for AI to be involved at all.
