AskAI is a Chrome extension developed by trendr that allows users to easily access additional information about anything they encounter on the web. With AskAI, users have two convenient ways to retrieve more information.

The first method involves highlighting any text found on a webpage. AskAI will seamlessly capture the highlighted text and store it for later use. Users can also add their own prompts to the front of the text to create custom questions.

The second method is to directly type in the desired text within the Chrome extension and send it. AskAI will then utilize OpenAI's advanced language model to provide a summarized answer to the question.

AskAI also offers the option to toggle audio on or off, with it being off by default. If audio is enabled, AskAI will promptly use text-to-speech to read out the answer as soon as it is received.

The main objective of AskAI is to make AI technology more accessible and embedded in everyday browsing experiences. Whether users encounter unfamiliar words, unknown places, or require information on specialized subjects, AskAI enables them to instantly obtain answers without ever leaving the current webpage.
