AgreeWise

• 

💡 Inspiration We all do it — a page full of long text appears, and we just click “I Agree” without reading. Those few seconds of blind trust can expose our personal data to tracking, sharing, and misuse buried deep in legal jargon. In 2025 alone, over 16 billion login credentials were leaked in global data breaches. We wanted to fix that — not by asking people to read more, but by making privacy understandable. That’s what inspired us to build AgreeWise — a Chrome extension that helps users know exactly what they’re agreeing to before they click “Accept.”

⚙️ What it does AgreeWise is an AI-powered Chrome extension that breaks down Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies into simple, readable points. It can: Summarize entire pages or highlighted sections of text.

Follow hyperlinks in legal documents for complete context.

Show a data snapshot using color codes — 🟢 safe/not collected, 🔴 collected or shared.

Automatically sync with Chrome’s theme and language.

Translate summaries into multiple languages using the Translation API.

Support Enterprise Network Mode — for shared prompts and configurations across teams.

Everything runs locally inside the browser — your data never leaves your system.

🧩 How we built it We built AgreeWise as a Chrome Manifest V3 extension using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Under the hood, it integrates multiple AI microservices: Summarizer API – Condenses long legal text into short bullet points.

Prompt API – Detects the type of site (e-commerce, social, payment) and adapts focus.

Translation API – Provides multilingual summaries.

The UI supports collapsible summaries, theme adaptation, and one-click translation — all connected through Chrome’s storage and messaging APIs for smooth user experience.

⚔️ Challenges we ran into Managing AI latency while keeping the interface responsive.

Handling complex legal documents with nested links and cross-references.

Balancing accuracy and simplicity — keeping summaries concise without losing key meaning.

Making theme and language synchronization seamless across different browser states.

Testing and debugging Enterprise Mode for consistent behavior across networks.

🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of Built a fully functional Chrome extension with real-time AI summarization.

Created a clean, collapsible UI that keeps complex information simple.

Added support for multi-language summaries and theme sync.

Designed Enterprise Network Mode, enabling team-wide consistency.

Kept all processing local and private — user data never leaves their browser.

🧠 What we learned We learned how to: Combine multiple AI APIs effectively inside a browser extension.

Design prompts that adapt contextually to different website types.

Optimize the UI for readability while maintaining privacy.

Work around Chrome’s Manifest V3 limitations for local AI operations.

Most importantly, we learned that user trust isn’t built through complexity — it’s built through clarity.

🚀 What’s next for AgreeWise We plan to expand AgreeWise with: A real-time privacy risk score for every site.

Policy comparison across different platforms.

Visual analytics for how your data is used and shared.

Integration with enterprise compliance dashboards for company-wide monitoring.

Our goal is to make privacy awareness as simple as clicking “Analyze.”
