  Ancroo lets you run AI workflows directly in your browser. Select text on any page, trigger a workflow, and get results — all without leaving the tab.
  
  TWO MODES — YOUR CHOICE
  
  Direct Mode — use your own API key:
  Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible API. Add your API key and start using six built-in workflows: Summarize, Translate, Rewrite, Explain, Fix Grammar, and Ask AI. Create your own workflows with custom prompts and models.
  
  Backend Mode — self-hosted, full feature set:
  Connect to a self-hosted Ancroo Stack for speech-to-text, n8n automation, tool plugins, file uploads, multi-user support, and server-managed workflows.
  
  FEATURES
  
  - Side panel UI — click the extension icon to open
  - Text selection — select text, right-click "Run with Ancroo", get AI-processed results
  - Hotkeys — trigger workflows instantly from any page
  - Clipboard & page context — workflows can access clipboard and current page URL/title
  - Output actions — replace text, copy to clipboard, insert before/after, or show in panel
  - Execution history — last 50 results stored locally
  
  DIRECT MODE
  
  - Multiple LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
  - Six starter workflows — ready to use out of the box
  - Local workflow editor — create workflows with prompt templates, model selection, and I/O config

  Ancroo is an AI prompt launcher for your browser. Select text on any page or type input manually, fire an AI prompt, and get results right where you need them. No tab switching. No copy-paste.
  
  SETUP IN SECONDS
  
  Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible API. Add your API key and start using six built-in actions immediately: Summarize, Translate to English, Rewrite Formal, Explain, Fix Grammar, and Ask AI.
  
  POINT. PROMPT. DONE.
  
  - Side panel UI — click the extension icon or press Alt+Shift+Y to open
  - Hotkeys — select text, trigger an action with a keyboard shortcut, get AI results
  - Flexible input — pick one input per action: Selection (formatted), Selection (plain text), Whole page, or Manual entry. Your choice fills the {text} variable in the prompt; {url} and {title} are always available too
  - Output actions — replace selected text, copy to clipboard, insert before/after, or show in panel
  - Follow-up messages — after a manual-entry action shows a result, send another message right from the result view to iterate, no navigating back
  - Execution history — last 50 results stored locally
  - Action categories — organize actions into named categories with icons; collapsible groups in the side panel
  - Backup & restore — export actions, categories, and provider settings to a JSON file; import on any device

  - OpenAI
  - Anthropic
  - Google Gemini
  - Ollama — run models locally on your machine
  - OpenRouter — access 200+ models via a single API key
  - Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
  
  ACTION EDITOR
