AI Lecture Companion – Chrome Extension

Your personal AI-powered study assistant.
This Chrome extension watches lectures with you, records your screen and audio, and automatically generates clear, structured notes from what you’re learning — all stored privately on your device.

🚀 Overview

Taking notes during online lectures can be stressful and time-consuming.
The AI Lecture Companion solves this by:

  • Recording your screen + audio as you watch
  • Automatically generating high-quality notes using your preferred AI model
  • Saving all notes locally for fast, private access

It turns passive watching into organized, effortless studying.

🎯 Core Features

🔴 Screen + Audio Recording

✍️ AI-Generated Notes

Your audio stream is transcribed and converted into:

  • Key bullet points
  • Important terms
  • Concept explanations
  • Structured sections

Pause or stop recording anytime.

⚙️ Custom Model & API Settings
