ScribePal di Code Forge Temple

ScribePal

ScribePal is an Open Source intelligent browser extension that leverages AI to empower your web experience by providing contextual insights, efficient content summarization, and seamless interaction while you browse.

Privacy

ScribePal works with local Ollama models, ensuring that all AI processing and messaging is conducted within your local network. Your private data remains on your system and is never transmitted to external servers. This design provides you with full control over your information and guarantees that nobody outside your network has access to your data.

Compatibility

It is compatible with all Chromium and Gecko-based browsers: Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, Edge, Firefox, Brave etc.

Features

• AI-powered assistance: Communicates with an AI service (using ollama) to generate responses.
• It is PRIVATE: Because it communicates with a local (within your LAN) Ollama service and LLMs, all your information stays private.
• Theming: Supports light and dark themes.
• Chat Interface: A draggable chat box for sending and receiving messages.
• Model Management: Select, refresh, download, and delete models.
• Capture Tool: Highlight HTML elements to capture text for the chat input.
• Prompt Customization: Adjust and customize prompts to instruct the AI model on how to generate responses.
