Ai as second me

This extension creates your "AI twin." By learning from your personal context—your values, education, professional background, and past work—it generates content that is authentically yours.

Inspiration

The motivation for this project stems from the desire to save a significant amount of time spent on applications and filling out forms. Whether it's for Ph.D. applications, research surveys, or crafting a personal bio on LinkedIn, a great deal of time is often required to write personal statements or customized text based on one's past work and project experiences. My goal was to create a tool that allows users to simply maintain a single personal profile. Then, when faced with these various input fields, an AI can generate personalized text based on that profile, significantly reducing the time commitment for everyone.

What it does

This project is straightforward to use. Simply highlight a question or prompt in a text box on any webpage, right-click to activate the plugin, and it will generate a personalized response based on both the question and the information stored in your personal profile. Users only need to provide their API key to start using the project. We currently support APIs from OpenAI, Gemini, and OpenRouter.

How we built it

This project was developed entirely using a "vibe coding" approach, primarily in collaboration with Cursor. I had no prior programming experience, but with the assistance of AI, I gradually learned how to build a browser extension, understand its architecture, and iterate on its development.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges was my limited programming experience, which meant that troubleshooting and resolving issues required a significant amount of time and communication. Secondly, while the core idea is strong, its practical application can be difficult. The sheer variety in web page structures means that the intended workflow doesn't always function perfectly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am very proud of creating a working demo for the personal profile and successfully implementing the text generation feature on several websites.

What we learned

Throughout this project, I gained valuable skills in plugin programming and learned effective methods for coding with AI assistance.

What's next for "AI as Second Me"

Looking ahead, I hope to receive more feedback from the community, address compatibility issues across different websites, and develop more user-friendly guidance and onboarding strategies.
