  Supercharge your browsing with the official companion extension for BriefAI.io – the smartest way to get instant AI summaries right on any webpage.
  
  BriefAI.io lets you understand articles, blogs, docs, and long pages in seconds without ever leaving the tab. This extension takes it further by making the experience smoother, faster, and more powerful:
  
  ✨ One-click summaries – Summarize the current page instantly with a simple click (or customizable shortcut).
  
  ✨ Private - Using a normal ai tool keeps track of you by associating you with a profile. We strip off all user-related info when generating summaries.
  
  ✨ In-page display – Clean, non-intrusive overlay keeps you on the page while delivering key insights, main points, and TL;DR.
  
  ✨ Free daily credits – Get started with no credit card – verify your email on BriefAI.io for 1 free summary credit every day.
  
  ✨ Pro upgrade ready – Need to use it more than once a day? Do it with a pro subscription.
  
  Perfect for researchers, students, professionals, content creators, and anyone who reads a lot online and wants to save time.
  
  How it works with BriefAI.io:
  
  - Sign up / log in at https://briefai.io/
  - Install this extension
  - Browse any page → click the extension icon (or use the shortcut) → get your AI-powered summary directly in a popup.
