A Chrome extension that explains what you read, instead of doing the work for you
Highlight any word or sentence and receive meaning, grammar, structure, register and synonyms written in the language being learned, not a finished translation.
Teachers set a minimum explanation level for a class so students cannot silently switch themselves down to full translation.
Assign PDFs and see active reading time, which pages students spent it on, and how many words they looked up per page.
Offers vocabulary and sentence patterns instead of paragraphs to copy, and flags large pastes in submitted assignments.
AI sidebar and browser agent for reading, writing and research
A persistent panel that reads the page you are on and answers follow-ups with GPT, Claude or Gemini without copying content into another tab.
Summarise long articles, PDFs and YouTube videos, extract key points, and ask detailed questions about the source material.
Translate webpages, PDFs and images, compare bilingual output side by side, and have content read aloud for review on the move.
Delegate multi-step tasks across real websites — price comparison, form filling, research and inbox triage — using your existing logged-in sessions.
