  Insight Layer is a privacy-first, bring-your-own-API extension that acts as your personal reading advisor. Instead of generic summaries, it profiles your specific role, interests, and time constraints to instantly analyze any web article and tell you exactly why you should read it. 
  
  With a single click, Insight Layer provides:
  • 🚥 A clear "Read, Skim, or Ignore" verdict.
  • 📝 Bulleted summaries explaining why the content matters to you.
  • 💡 Custom insights personally mapped to your career and goals.
  • 🧪 Actionable, 1-to-2 day mini-experiments based on the article.
  • 📋 One-click Export to Markdown for easy pasting into your notes.
  
  PRIVATE & SECURE BY DESIGN (Bring Your Own Key)
  We do not store your data, and we do not force you into a subscription. Insight Layer runs entirely locally in your browser and communicates directly with your choice of AI provider.
  
  You can securely plug in API keys from your preferred public models, or even point it to your own local, offline models. Your keys are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers.
  
  Install Insight Layer to cut through the noise, eliminate mindless scrolling, and only engage with content that actually drives your goals forward.
