## Description

➤ Who
Tired of scrolling through endless pages to find the information you need? Are you running low on time and can’t read the entire chapter for one question to be answered? Or maybe, you just have follow up questions after related to the reading your professor assigned. Hermes can help with that.

➤ What
Hermes is a web browser extension that acts as your personal research assistant. It’s more than an extra set of eyes while you comb for the answers you need; Hermes analyzes any digital document you're reading and is ready to answer any questions you have about the content without you having to copy and paste anything. That means less time spent searching and more time focusing on your studies.

➤ How
Hermes is like a research assistant built right into your browser. It analyzes the webpages you're reading and understands what's being said.  You can ask it questions about the content, and it will give you clear and accurate answers within the page itself.  No more copying and pasting or switching tabs!  Hermes even highlights relevant sections and provides evidence from the webpage to back up its answers.  This ensures the information you get is trustworthy and well-supported.
