DecodAI — Instant AI Text Assistant

About

DecodAI turns your browser into a smart reading and writing assistant. Highlight any text on a webpage, right-click, and instantly get AI-powered explanations, summaries, or rewrites — all without leaving the page.

YOUR KEYS, YOUR CONTROL
Bring your own API keys for any supported AI provider. Keys are encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM and never leave your browser except to call the provider you choose. No accounts, no subscriptions, no data collection.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Highlight any text on a webpage
2. Right-click → DecodAI → pick a template
3. The AI response streams in a floating overlay, right on the page
4. Ask follow-up questions without leaving the panel
