Inspiration
FB messenger for the floating UI concept
the title "anjin" comes from the recent Shogun series
He was a character everyone thought was going to die but he survived 😄
The word means "pilot".
What it does
"Friction is the most powerful force in the universe"
Web-anjin lowers the friction of getting LLM responses based on the content you're viewing when you go to a website since you don't have to leave a site anymore to use your assistant
The point-and-ask feature lets you highlight parts of webpages like you do with inspect-element on chrome devtools and lets you ask more specific questions on the content in a webpage
You also get full-text semantic search on any webpage you visit
How we built it
As a Chrome extension with react and typescript
API is serverless was IaC with sst.dev and groq for inference
Challenges we ran into
using react in a Chrome extension was a bit tricky
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Cranked out something useful to build on in future
What we learned
Chrome extension development
groq API
What's next for Web Anjin
the moon 🚀
we can point out shady patterns in different sites and mark sites as safe-or-not
leave room for community feedback so the internet is a safer place for the uninitiated
we can suggest prompts when the user opens up the search dialog
