Clarify

Inspiration

As a highschool student, i find myself very often trying to find specific information in articles, webpages, biographies, etc.. I struggled a lot trying to find specific info in long pieces of text. Thats why i built Clarify: to facilitate and accelerate my workflow.

What it does

AI chatbot that is integrated into chrome (chrome extension) that can see the user's screen in real time. This constant in-context feature makes the user's life easier since they dont have to explain everything they see on their screen. Instead, they can just talk to a chatbot that has full awareness of what the user is looking at. Clarify can also scroll/jump to specific parts on the webpage for the user without them needing do anything.

How we built it

javascript css html, openai api, html parsing

Challenges we ran into

Having Clarify seeing the user's screen on a pdf. this was a challenge because the main method how Clarify sees the user's screen is through HTML parsing and pdfs aren't HTML.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Having Clarify work for pdfs as well as webpages. Additionally, having a potential huge impact if Clarify were to become popular with its super simple ease of use for the user.

What we learned

How to use HTML Parsing

What's next for Clarify

Creating a Pro paying model for power users. Planning to charge $9 a month. Clarify Pro will offer an access to Voice-Mode(which will let the user talk to the chatbot directly using the OpenAI whisper api) and access to different premium models such as Anthropic Claude 3.5, Gemini, etc..
