A number of my friends don't like to pay for AI to do basic tasks and don't trust the large AI companies with ideas or personal shares, so using my knowledge getting hermes-agent to work with small local AI models, I decided to apply what I learned from that experience to build a Chrome browser extension. The result... 1-Click AI In-Browser Assistant. A locally hosted "Privacy-First" AI companion! It provides AI assistance, summaries, insightful takeaways, snapshots, and rewrite suggestions, all without compromising privacy. And for those not prompt savvy, I included pre-programmed 1-click action buttons, to avoid "Prompt Fatigue". I included a couple of customizable ones as well. Being multi-modal the AI extension also accepts voice prompts, uploaded text/images/audio/pdf and can even read AI results aloud TTS. It's made for those who don't want to pay for AI and even though it's built as a privacy-respecting AI solution for productivity. It really punches above its weight. The extension also includes rolling context and a vector database for long term historical context (memory) retention, and a full screen (air-gapped) mode. You can search for it on the Chrome Web Store. The only catch is you need a minimal spec PC to use it. Those system requirements are: 4gb+ vRam, 16gb Ram, 4 core CPU, 22+gb hdd space available during model install (but only 4gb used after model install), and a chrome browser version 154+   submitted by   /u/pwap_official [link]   [comments]
