About Askr

Askr explains text on any web page and answers your questions about it, using an AI provider and API key that you choose. How to use it: • Double-click a word or select some text, then click Explain or Ask. • Or right-click a selection and choose "Explain with Askr" or "Ask Askr about…". • Ask follow-up questions in the same tooltip. Highlighted passages stay marked, so you can reopen a conversation until you reload the page. Bring your own key: • Works with most popular AI providers, and with a model running on your own computer. • Save several keys. If one provider is busy or unreachable, Askr can automatically try the next. Private by design: • No account, no server, no tracking. Askr sends text only when you click Explain or Ask, and only to the provider you set up. • Your keys are stored on your own computer.
