I love reading and learning about new things. I was in a large chat space for people particularly interested in the latest advancements in AI. Every day, people were sharing articles and papers on new models, tools, and research on LLMs. I needed a way to quickly understand what was being shared so I could follow along with the conversation, and I was interested in building something with an LLM. So to feed two birds with one scone, I built this Chrome extension.

I shared it with some teammates, and people actually used it!

Since making this first extension, making chrome extensions has been a tool that I've come back to many times. I've made extensions to add ui elements to Meet and calendar. Even if it's just creating an entry point and seeing how it feels seeing it over and over all day as I do my work, it has proven to be an extremely helpful tool and skill to have.

The inspiration for the tool was the wired youtube videos where experts explain things at varying levels of complexity.
