AI Companion — Activity Helper

About

AI Companion — Activity Helper connects your browser to the AI Companion desktop app on your computer. It helps you stay focused during work sessions and gives you an honest post-session breakdown of whether your browsing matched what you planned to do.

HOW IT WORKS
• When you switch tabs, the extension sends activity info to the AI Companion desktop app running on your machine (localhost only).
• Data sent: website hostname (e.g. react.dev), page title, and a short page excerpt (up to 240 characters).
• Full URLs, paths, and query strings are never sent.
• Nothing is sent to the internet by this extension — only to 127.0.0.1 on your computer.

FEATURES
• Real-time activity feed in the desktop app (e.g. "Chrome · react.dev — On task")
• Gentle drift alerts if you stay on off-task sites during an active session
• Popup status indicator: green when the desktop app is connected, red when it is not

REQUIREMENTS
• AI Companion desktop app must be installed and running on the same computer
• No account pairing or setup codes — install the extension and open the desktop app

PRIVACY
• All browser data stays on your machine via localhost
• The desktop app uses title and excerpt only once at session end for alignment evaluation
• This extension does not collect or store data in any cloud service

Install the desktop app first, then add this extension for the full AI Companion experience.
