Translate, summarize and explain any text on the web — on-device with Chrome AI or with your own API key. ColibotAI — translate, summarize and explain any text on the web. On‑device, with your own key, or your own local model. You choose. No account. No tracking. Made in Switzerland. Free. Select any text on any page and act on it instantly — Translate, Summarize, Explain, or Search with ChatGPT — right where you're reading, in a clean little toolbar. ⚙️ THREE WAYS TO RUN THE AI — YOU PICK • On‑device — Chrome's built‑in AI (Gemini Nano) runs locally. Free, private, works offline; your text never leaves your computer. • Bring your own key — OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini) or OpenRouter. One key, hundreds of models. Your text goes straight from your browser to the provider you chose — ColibotAI has no server and never sees or stores it. • Local / custom model — point ColibotAI at any OpenAI‑compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or your own gateway) and run open models free, offline and fully private. No model is forced on you — the Settings page even shows price/performance hints so you can pick what fits. ✨ WHAT YOU CAN DO • Translate any selection in one click, across a wide range of languages. • Summarize long or complex text down to the essentials. • Explain difficult passages in clear, contextual language. • Search with ChatGPT — send a selection straight to chatgpt.com in a new tab. • Quick Translate — a floating panel for text you type or paste. 🗂️ NOTES THAT STAY YOURS • Save any result as a searchable note (original text + result + source page + date). • Search, annotate and organize them in a side panel. • Export / import everything as JSON. Stored locally, never uploaded. ♻️ SMART, TOKEN‑SAVING REUSE Re‑running text that's almost identical to a saved note reuses that answer instead of calling the AI again — so you don't spend tokens (or time) twice. The similarity threshold is configurable. 🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no tracking, no cookies, no analytics. • Your API key is stored locally (chrome.storage.local) and never synced — with an optional session‑only mode. • On‑device and local modes keep your text on your machine. • Minimal permissions; a provider's host is requested only when you actually add its key. • GDPR‑compliant. Made in Switzerland. 🎨 POLISHED & ACCESSIBLE • Light / dark / system themes. • Keyboard shortcuts (enable/disable, open side panel, Quick Translate). • Right‑click context‑menu actions. • The in‑page UI is isolated in a Shadow DOM, so it won't clash with the sites you visit. • English / Italian interface. 👤 PERFECT FOR Students and researchers reading international papers · professionals working with multilingual documents · language learners and teachers · content creators and editors · anyone reading across languages. 🚀 GETTING STARTED 1. Install ColibotAI. 2. In Settings, choose your engine: on‑device (no key needed), your own provider key, or a local/custom endpoint. 3. Select text on any page and pick Translate / Summarize / Explain from the toolbar — or open Quick Translate. 4. Save results to Notes, and tweak languages, shortcuts and theme to taste. Free, GDPR‑compliant, and Made in Switzerland. 🇨🇭
