Overview
Free AI study assistant for selected text: translate, explain or answer with your own compatible API key.
**BrowserFloat by Ahaly — Learn without leaving your page.** BrowserFloat is a free AI-powered study assistant that helps you understand selected text directly in your browser. Select text on a webpage, click the floating lightbulb, and get a quick translation, explanation, or answer without switching tabs. **Key Features** - **Instant Translation:** Translate selected text into your preferred language. - **Simple Explanations:** Understand unfamiliar concepts and difficult passages. - **Quick Answers:** Get concise answers and essential steps for study questions. - **Choose Your AI:** Connect to OpenAI-compatible APIs, select your own model, or configure a custom HTTPS API endpoint. - **Bring Your Own API Key:** Use your own credentials without an Ahaly subscription. - **Language Preferences:** Choose English, French, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese. - **Stay in Control:** Pause BrowserFloat on individual websites or across your browser. - **Lightweight Experience:** Get help where you are reading, without opening a separate AI chat. **How It Works** 1. Install BrowserFloat and open its settings. 2. Configure a compatible AI provider, model, and API key. 3. Review and accept the data-processing notice. 4. Select text on a supported webpage. 5. Click the floating lightbulb to request AI assistance. **Privacy and Transparency** BrowserFloat does not automatically send selected text to an AI provider. AI requests require your explicit consent and interaction. Your selected text is sent directly to the third-party API endpoint you configure, using your own API key. API keys are stored in Chrome extension session storage rather than persistent preferences. BrowserFloat does not maintain a permanent learning history. BrowserFloat is free to use, but your chosen AI provider may charge API usage fees. **Compatibility** BrowserFloat works with supported webpages and OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible APIs. Some restricted browser pages and built-in PDF viewers are not supported. BrowserFloat is independent of Ahaly for Mac. The Mac application's AI teacher, learning history, and subscriptions are not included in this extension. Learn more: https://ahaly.app Privacy Policy: https://ahaly.app/browserfloat-privacy.html
