## Description

PAL (Pause, Ask, Learn) is a context-aware AI assistant Chrome extension designed to help you elaborate on video content. You never have to switch away from a video tab to ask your AI agent a question, ensuring minimal friction during the learning process. The tool makes your AI agent context-aware by either downloading the transcript automatically or accepting manual input; this ensures that a question asked 50 minutes into a video is answered based on all previous content. The extension features a detachable window so your assistant sits alongside your video in the same tab, accessible at any time. Furthermore, the 'bring your own API key' feature ensures maximum privacy.
