🔍 AskAnywhere.AI – Contextual AI Assistant for the Web

AskAnywhere.AI is a Chrome extension that allows users to query AI models anywhere on the web by simply highlighting text and right-clicking. This lightweight plugin integrates seamlessly with Gemini Nano (on-device) and cloud-based LLM APIs to provide smart, contextual answers in real-time.

  • Gemini Nano (on-device) for instant response and privacy.
  • Custom AI API Integration for external providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.

• Intelligent Role-Based Profiling

  • System default profile to provide general-purpose assistance.
  • Website-specific custom profiles (e.g., Coder profile on GitHub, Product Analyst on Google Sheets).
  • Profiles can be user-defined or AI-assisted.

• Adaptive Contextual Injection
  Enriches prompts with relevant metadata and user-defined rules based on the current domain.

• Zero-friction UX
  Minimalist, intuitive, and non-intrusive. Designed for productivity-first users.
