About YourKey AI: BYOK Side Panel (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini)

YourKey AI is a 100% privacy-first, zero-tracker, bring your own key (BYOK) AI extension and serverless chat panel for your favorite LLMs. Operating as a dedicated AI sidebar and direct-to-API gateway, you connect straight to official OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google endpoints right from your browser. • 100% Isolated Sandbox: As a local storage LLM client, all API keys, active drafts, and session histories are saved strictly inside your browser storage engine. No hidden servers and 0% telemetry data collection. • BYOK: Completely bypass middleman markup costs, third-party cloud aggregators, and data-logging risks. You only pay for the exact tokens you use, directly to the AI providers - with zero markups or hidden surcharges. • Hardened Network Security: Direct encrypted HTTPS routing straight to official provider endpoints only. Operating as a pure client-side extension, your text inputs never touch a third-party intermediary. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Are you a freelance writer, legal assistant, remote worker or corporate professional restricted from using traditional cloud-logged AI extensions? Take control of your LLM data privacy and security. YourKey AI is built strictly for data-sensitive professionals who require full oversight of where their keys and conversations are processed. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 🛠️ ADVANCED MODEL ARCHITECTURE Switch between the world's most powerful reasoning models instantly via a clean dropdown menu using your own keys: • OpenAI: Connect with flagship and lightweight GPT models. • Claude: Run deep cognitive tasks using advanced Fable and Sonnet models. • Gemini: Leverage ultra-fast processing with the latest Flash and Flash-Lite models. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 🔥 KEY FEATURES 🔐 True BYOK Architecture: Securely connect your personal OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini keys directly from your local settings menu. 🛡️ Zero-Host Privacy: Local background protocols guarantee your sensitive text ingestions never touch an external middleman server. ⚡ Frictionless Workflow Capture: Highlight text on any active webpage, right-click, and watch your secure AI workspace instantly slide open, ready for immediate follow-up input. 🌐 Google Search Grounding (Gemini Only): Toggle live web searching to pull real-time search engine data directly into your chat workflow seamlessly. 💾 Volatile State Protection: Never lose your work. Active session memory automatically backs up locally during accidental side panel closures or sudden browser restarts. 📑 One-Click Professional Export: Instantly save and download your complete local chat transcripts into clean, readable Markdown (.md) documents. 🚀 Hyper-Lightweight Build: Pure native JavaScript with zero bloated external framework dependencies for lightning-fast performance. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 💡 HOW TO GET STARTED 1.

Click 'Save Settings' and start chatting! _____________________________________________________________________________________ Note: Users must input their own personal API keys (OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini) to establish connectivity.
