Lectura

Illuminate persuasion patterns in web content — on-device AI, nothing leaves your browser

Lectura reveals what text expects from you. Most online content is carefully crafted to influence how you think, feel, and act. Job listings create urgency. Product pages imply scarcity. Opinion pieces narrow your choices before you realize it. These patterns are well-documented in behavioral science — and nearly invisible to ordinary readers. Lectura surfaces them. HOW IT WORKS Select any text on any web page. Right-click. Choose "Analyze with Lectura." A floating panel appears with a structured breakdown of what the text is doing beneath the surface — the intent behind the words, which influence techniques are at work, and how strong those patterns are. WHAT YOU SEE • What the text wants from you • Which recognized influence techniques are present — with evidence from the text itself • How strong those patterns are overall FULLY ON-DEVICE Lectura runs entirely in your browser using Chrome's built-in AI.
