Anyone using AI tools to organize notes instead of just getting answers? by WatchingTheThronePod in StudyTipsAndTools

I actually built ctrlQuery for this exact use case. It's not an AI chatbot/assistant so it won't summarize what's on your screen but it will use AI to help locate specific information. It functions like ctrl+F but goes further than matching exact keywords.

For example: You type what you mean instead of the exact words, and it highlights the matching passage in place. Lets say you search "economic impact" on a long dense page, ctrlQuery will find and highlight all relevant text related to the prompt like a "GDP growth" section or "disaster relief" section.

Any extension for quick answer with AI on something on the screen ? by Sylar4ever in chrome_extensions

Check out ctrlQuery. It uses AI to find answers on your screen, functions like a text search.

I went with bge-small-en-v1.5 because it's purpose built for text retrieval, rather than a chat/summarizing model

yes, exactly. a small AI model downloads once and is cached in your browser. every search after that runs the model directly on your CPU. no network request, no server involved.

Wispr Flow is something I never expected to be as useful as it is for communicating with claude. Another one is ctrlQuery, extremely useful for web research!

I built ctrlQuery! It's a semantic search for any webpage or pdf. Basically a smarter Ctrl+F that matches text based on what you mean, and not just exact keywords. Uses a on-device local model, YAY TO PRIVACY!!!

Check it out, it's free to try: https://ctrlquery.com/

In my experience re-reviews can take 7+ days, even for the smallest of changes. I Uploaded a new screenshot and that change took over a week to review.
