R-Searcher

Explain and summarize any article with AI. It automatically chooses the best response format.

R-Searcher helps you get the point of an article in seconds and understand difficult passages without breaking your reading flow. Use R-Searcher to: - See the essence of an article before deciding whether it deserves your time - Turn dense pages into structured notes you can actually keep - Get practical next steps after every read - Explain confusing text in plain language right on the page - Go deeper with follow-up prompts like "Explain differently" and "Show an example" - Move faster with a keyboard-first workflow It is built for people who read to learn, decide, and move: developers, researchers, students, operators, and anyone drowning in tabs. Instead of forcing you to switch between summaries, search, note apps, and explanation tools, R-Searcher keeps the workflow in one place. Read less mechanically. Understand more quickly. Keep only what matters. R-Searcher is now moving toward an open-source, self-hosted model: - The extension source code and worker source code are publicly available - You can deploy your own worker and connect it in the extension settings - Additional materials and the self-hosted version are available in the public repository: https://github.com/indie-labs-dev/rsearch-copilot How it works: - Install the extension - Deploy your own compatible worker - Paste the worker base URL into the extension settings - Start analyzing articles and explaining selected text Privacy and permissions: - R-Searcher reads the current page only when you actively use the extension - Selected text or extracted article content is sent to the backend you configure - Settings are stored locally in your browser - The extension uses only the permissions needed for its reading workflow Important: - AI-generated responses can be inaccurate - Do not rely on the extension for legal, medical, financial, or other high-stakes decisions without verification - Do not submit sensitive, confidential, privileged, or copyrighted text unless you are authorized to do so
