<a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/99dbb514efbe179314e2e6a1872a7cb290a9f7a7d9a662829a8b3985f9343d8e/https%3A//publicai.co/" rel="nofollow">PublicAI</a> is a nonprofit, open-source project building public AI infrastructure. It offers stable, direct access to sovereign AI models like <strong>Apertus</strong> (Switzerland) and <strong>SEA-LION</strong> (Singapore). It focuses on privacy, public governance, and digital sovereignty, making it an excellent assistant for everyday tasks without relying on big tech monopolies.

This unofficial extension allows you to open the PublicAI chat interface (<code><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/c5ff5ba29d00de3e777c74b907f0103a5e3ffbb9dfaf2bcbb66f1bf477c02f3c/http%3A//chat.publicai.co" rel="nofollow">chat.publicai.co</a></code>) directly in the Firefox sidebar. With PublicAI's help, you can use AI as a public utility—like water or electricity—directly from your browser.

Contributions are welcome!
