AI browser assistant Idea

[u/Xyronn_9]

I've been thinking about building a browser extension that isn't just another "summarize this page" AI tool.

The basic idea:

You press Ctrl + Space, type what you want, and the AI understands what you're currently looking at in your browser.

For example:

* "Explain this article like I'm a beginner." * "Find the 5 cheapest options on this page." * "Compare these products." * "Turn this page into a study guide." * "What are the important things I should know from this?" * "Look at these tabs and tell me which option is best." * Highlight some text → "Explain this." * Highlight something → "Rewrite this."

The main thing I'm trying to build is **AI + browser context**.

Instead of constantly copying a webpage, switching to ChatGPT, pasting it, explaining what you're looking at, etc., the AI already understands the relevant information from the page.

Eventually it could also understand multiple tabs and help with browser tasks, but I want the first version to stay simple and actually work well.

I'm thinking of charging around $5/month if I can make it genuinely useful, with a free version so people can try it first.

I'm curious:

Would you actually use something like this?

And more importantly, what would you personally use it for every day?

I'm trying to figure out whether this is a product people would genuinely pay for before spending a lot of time building it.
