Inspiration

This project was inspired by my challenges doing coursework. I have a hard time staying focus while reading long texts, but this extension helps break up the text and highlight the important points. It's unrealistic to remember every detail, so I believe it's more valuable to remember the important takeaways.

What it does

The extension predicts text that would be relevant to the reader, based on the user's highlights. It analyzes factors like level of detail, length, granularity, etc.

How we built it

The frontend is built using HTML, CSS, and JS on the Manifest V3 extension format. The backend proxy server is built using Node + Express.

Challenges we ran into

Two main challenges encountered included parsing the selection into individual elements and trying to get the AI output to work with the application.

What we learned

This was my first time coding an extension, so I learned a lot about that.
