About

Explain It to Me is a beautiful Chrome extension that transforms dense, jargon-filled web content into clear, digestible explanations—right inside your browser. Highlight any text, choose from four intelligence levels, and instantly get a tailored breakdown that fits your needs. No more tab-hopping or copy-pasting into separate apps. Everything you need happens in-page, with a sleek, responsive interface.

Features:
• Smart Text Selection: Highlight any text on any webpage and invoke the extension with a right-click.
• Four Intelligence Levels:
– Kid-Friendly: Simple, analogy-rich explanations as if you’re five years old.
– High School: Clear, conversational language enriched with academic vocabulary.
– College: Detailed analysis with nuanced insights and relevant examples.
– Expert: Technical terminology, comprehensive analysis, and broader context.
• AI-Powered: Leverages advanced language models (GPT-4, etc.) for accurate, context-aware explanations.
• Smart Memory: Remembers your last-used explanation level so you don’t have to reselect it every time.
• Privacy-First: All processing goes through your own OpenAI/Azure configuration—no text is stored or shared.
• Beautiful UI: Full-screen modal with smooth animations, keyboard (Escape) support, and backdrop click to close.
• Copy & Share: One-click copy of your explanation, perfect for study notes, team handoffs, or social posts.
• Usage Statistics: Track how many explanations you’ve generated and which levels you use most—see your learning journey evolve.
