Inspiration

Every time I needed AI help while browsing, I had to stop what I was doing and open a new tab, copy text, paste it into an AI tool, get the answer, and then go back to the page. That constant context-switching was killing my productivity. I wanted AI to live inside the internet, not outside it.

What it does

Aura is a Chrome extension that puts AI directly on every webpage you visit. A floating button sits on every site, click it and get:

✦ Summarize — turn any article or page into clear bullet points instantly
⚡ Explain Code — understand any code on GitHub or Stack Overflow in plain English
↩ Draft Reply — generate professional LinkedIn replies using conversation context
✐ Create Post — turn any webpage into two LinkedIn post ideas with hooks and CTAs
🖱 Highlight & Ask — select any text and ask Aura about it instantly
💬 Motivation Mode — rotating quotes to keep you inspired while you work

How we built it

Pure JavaScript Chrome Extension
Cloudflare Workers AI for the intelligence layer
Llama 3.1 8B model powering all responses
Zero server storage — everything stays in your browser

Challenges we ran into

Getting the extension to accurately extract meaningful content from different webpage structures was tricky. Every site structures its HTML differently, so building a reliable content parser that worked across news sites, GitHub, LinkedIn, and documentation pages required a lot of testing and iteration.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building a Chrome extension that works seamlessly across every webpage, from GitHub to LinkedIn to news sites, with zero server storage. The fact that it went from idea to working product in under 24 hours while maintaining a clean UI and reliable AI responses is something I'm genuinely proud of.
