About br-AI-n
The ultimate privacy-first AI companion built directly into your Chrome Side Panel.
br-AI-n runs Large Language Models (LLMs) privately and natively in your browser. Powered by cutting-edge WebAssembly (WASM) and WebGPU hardware acceleration, your AI assistant runs directly on your device — no API keys, no monthly fees, and zero hidden tracking.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ 100% PRIVATE & LOCAL-FIRST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Your conversations, documents, and code never leave your machine:
▸ Local Browser Models — Chats and prompts are processed strictly inside your browser's sandboxed environment.
▸ Local Server Bridge — Connect directly to your own self-hosted endpoints with complete confidentiality.
▸ Fail-Closed Security — Network tools are protected by a strict kill-switch that blocks external requests completely while Web Tools are off.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ HIGH-PERFORMANCE NATIVE EXECUTION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ WebGPU Acceleration — Taps into your GPU for smooth, responsive local inference.
▸ Smart CPU Fallback — Optimized single-threaded WebAssembly (SIMD) ensures broad hardware compatibility.
▸ Instant Offline Caching — Models download once into your local browser cache for instant startup anytime.
▸ Transparent Open Weights — Direct attribution and license transparency for all supported open models.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔌 BRING YOUR OWN LOCAL SERVER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Already have a local AI workstation? br-AI-n connects to local server backends (including Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp). Offload intensive workloads to your dedicated rig while enjoying a seamless Chrome interface.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎭 CUSTOMIZABLE PERSONAS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tailor your AI assistant to any task in seconds:
▸ Built-in Presets — Assistant, Code Ninja, Summarizer, Translator, and Grammar Checker.
▸ Custom Personas — Create and save unlimited personas with custom system prompts, response styles, and formatting rules.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 FLOATING INLINE QUICK-ACTION WIDGET
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Highlight text on any webpage for instant inline AI actions:
▸ 1-Click Transformations — Summarize, explain complex concepts, or fix grammar without leaving the page.
▸ Context-Aware Chat — Ask follow-up questions directly inside the floating card.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 OPTIONAL WEB TOOLS (OFF BY DEFAULT)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Turn your local model into an autonomous research agent when you need live facts:
▸ Smart Web Search — Accesses user-configured search engines, public encyclopedias, open academic archives, and live global news feeds.
▸ Tab Reader — Read the contents of your active tab on command (the extension never crawls websites autonomously).
▸ Sandboxed Code Execution — Safely runs calculations and code snippets in an isolated runtime.
*Web Tools are 100% optional and disabled by default to guarantee full offline privacy.*
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
