EasyRead.AI - Reading Assistant

EasyRead.AI is a Chrome extension built around one simple idea: you should be able to understand what you are reading without switching tabs or pasting text into another app. Once installed, it automatically detects the main article on a page and can produce key points, a condensed summary or a visual mind map, and it lets you ask follow-up questions about the content right there in the sidebar.

Beyond summarizing, the extension is a genuine reading aid. A block picker lets you hand-pick several sections of a page so the AI works only on the context you care about, and a translation panel can render the main article or a selection side by side with the original. It will also explain difficult words, concepts and idioms, including classical Chinese, dialects and internet slang that trip up ordinary translators.

EasyRead.AI is deliberately provider-agnostic. You can run it entirely on Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano AI, point it at a local model service, or plug in your own API key for a supported cloud provider, so there is no vendor lock-in. Conversation history, API keys and settings are stored locally, and settings can be exported as an encrypted file. Costs depend on the model you connect: the built-in option is free, while cloud providers bill you at their own rates.
