Gluon v2 is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance coding efficiency by integrating local projects with AI interfaces like Claude and Gemini. This innovative tool eliminates the need for tedious manual copying and pasting of code, allowing developers to streamline their workflow. With features such as file browsing directly from the browser's sidebar, users can easily select files to create contextual packages or rely on the Auto-Resolve function, which intelligently requests necessary files to address coding issues.

Key functionalities include access to local project files, management of different environments for various tech stacks, and one-click file submissions to AI. While the extension itself is free, it requires the Gluon Desktop Engine, a paid desktop application that acts as a secure bridge to local files, scanning projects and handling Auto-Resolve logic. This combination promises to significantly improve productivity for developers looking to leverage AI in their coding processes.
