User reviews

Doesn't work clicking on the extension does nothing.

It doesn't work at all. My prompt was "Adding leads from building permits to my CRM". The AI blocks the city's website where all the building permit information is posted and it blocks my CRM. I appealed the block, and it's spent about 10 minutes reviewing the appeal. It appears very short sighted of the designer to assume that a person who is willfully seeking out tools to mitigate distractions would also need an AI to decide for them whether what they're doing actually contributes to their task. Maybe it did finish reviewing the appeal, but just gets stuck in the loading screen because it doesn't re-block the page after I refresh, but it has allowed me to be here writing this review, very off task. So my assessment is that it probably doesn't work at all, and if it does, it's not trained well enough to be applicable to tasks that the designers didn't have in mind when they built it.

Does its job, and really helps me figure out extensions, few needed features though, 1. Ability to unmodiiable lock out. If its a open source plugin i will gladly help you with the functionality.
