SurfBoardAI
Your web-surfing assistant. Chrome extension that allows you explore and understand any webpage.
Project Description
SurfBoardAI
Your board for surfing the web!
SurfBoardAI is a browser extension tool that you can use to do on-demand research about any web-page you’re viewing. You can ask anything from a simple: “what’s this webpage about” to complex task-related questions such as: “compare all premium plans and explain which one is best for my use-case”. The extension can use your browser to perform actions and take you to the correct web-page.
Key features:
- Clean interface
- fast response (with smart model selection)
- Agentic abilities (navigate tasks and select links)
- memory per tab (so you can simultaneously browse multiple tabs!). Leaving the tab does not erase chat history.
- coming soon (speech to text and text to speech)
Potential use cases:
- Helps you skimming of webpages
- Instantly feed your current tab to an LLM
- Deep research of a whole website (much faster than human speed)
- Accessibility (e.g., less tech savvy person could use it to navigate a government website and get assistance in performing a task)
- E-commerce: “Find the best laptop under $1000 on this site”
- Research: “Summarise the key points from this academic paper”
- Government: “Help me find how to apply for a business license”
- Comparison: “Compare all pricing tiers and recommend one for a 50-person team”
