Not particularly, this is more designed to be a separate chat app than a chat-with-the-webpage extension. Also, parsing webpages for LLM ingest is not the easiest thing in the world in my experience. You could dump the whole html but that's a LOT of tokens to be spending if you're using your own API key (vs using a subscription model like with first party extensions).
Before I started work on it, I looked around at all of the available options, and none of them really fit what I wanted:
- easy to use
- fast
- not a huge desktop app
so I decided to make my own! AirmailAI (if you're not running it locally) is a one-click install from the Chrome Web Store, the TTFT overhead is within 50ms of raw https API requests, and the install size/memory requirements are very reasonable (<2MB on disk, ~60MB RAM while running).
Sure. I tried Open WebUI, SillyTavern, AnythingLLM, etc. I wasn't a fan of installing a 500MB desktop app, or having to run a webhost locally, or having to configure a bunch of settings just to chat with the newest LLM.
I agree, but I also think as AI gets better we're going to see Jevons paradox in full swing, which might delay lower costs. We've seen this with Astra according to Tibo: https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2097559315150426222
Yeah that's when the site lost me too. I feel like people just tell AI "make the thing" and then get mad when it doesn't match up to their vision that they didn't specify at all.
That's fair, but at least the chart has an axis. :) Since openai just released astra, I was more surprised that they would publicly show any gap to their (presumably SOTA) internal model.
