AskAI is a Chrome extension that empowers users to effortlessly access additional information about anything they come across on the web.

There are 2 ways of doing this:

Highlight any text you see on any webpage. AskAI effortlessly captures the text and has it stored, ready for you to send. Feel free to use one of our prompts, adding it to the front of the text to create your own question.
Type in your own text and send it directly from the Chrome extension.

The app will use OpenAI's advanced language model to provide a summary answer to the question that you send.

You have the option of having the audio on or off (off by default). If you have it on, as soon as AskAI gets an answer, it will promptly use text-to-speech to read it out to you.

The aim of AskAI is to make AI technology more embedded and directly accessible.

Have a word that you don't understand? A place you don't recognise or want more information on a specialist subject? Use AskAI to instantly get answer without ever having to leave the page you're on.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AskAI requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

AskAI may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
