Being Corporate

About

Being Corporate — because you can't always be human at work.

A Chrome extension for Indian professionals who think in Hinglish but have to email in clean corporate English. Click ✨ Professionalize next to Send. Your draft gets rewritten in diplomatic register. Review the diff. Replace or keep your original. That's it.


EXAMPLE

You write:
"Yaar honestly bol raha hoon, ye project bahut messed up hai. Pichle do mahine se hum log overtime kar rahe hain aur ab senior leadership keh rahi hai ki scope aur badhana hai."

You send:
"Honestly, I am stating that this project is significantly disorganized. Over the past two months, our team has consistently operated beyond standard working hours, and current directives from senior leadership indicate an intention to further expand the project's scope."

HOW IT WORKS

Not a wrapper around ChatGPT. This uses activation steering, a research technique that modifies a language model's internal hidden states at inference time to shift its output register, without fine-tuning or prompt-stuffing.

- Base model: Qwen3-14B (4-bit quantized)
- Steering: permanent forward hooks on residual stream layers 19-22, applying a "diplomatic" direction vector learned via Contrastive Activation Addition (CAA) on 150 hand-crafted contrastive pairs
- Hosted on Modal serverless GPU, auto-scales, idles to zero
- Diff modal lets you review every rewrite before it touches your draft

PRIVACY

Your draft text is sent over HTTPS to a private inference endpoint operated by the developer, only when you click the button.

— Nothing is stored. The endpoint processes text in memory and discards it.
— No email metadata is collected (no recipients, subject lines, attachments).
— No tracking, no ads, no third-party sharing.
— Read the full policy: https://shrey0303.github.io/chromeExtensionPrivacyPolicy/

LIMITS

— Free tier: 3 requests/hour per user, 10/day per user, 200/day shared cap
— First request after idle: ~30–60s (cold start on serverless GPU)
— Warm requests: 4–8s
— Best on paragraph-length workplace text. Edge cases on extremely short inputs and heavily profane content (the model's safety mode kicks in)
— English output only (the source can be any mix of Hindi/Hinglish/English)
