SlimScreen AI - Friendly Librarian

Welcome to SlimScreen AI—your pocket-sized, ever-helpful librarian who makes research a breeze. Imagine a dimly lit library where a warm, insightful librarian is always by your side, ready to explain any text you highlight, no matter where you are. With SlimScreen AI, you no longer have to copy-paste text between windows or apps. Instead, a lightweight chat overlay pops up right on your screen to give you real-time definitions, context, and even a bit of friendly banter.

What It Does

SlimScreen AI is designed to be a minimal yet powerful assistant that helps you understand the content you’re reading—whether on a webpage, PDF, or other digital documents. Currently, the tool focuses on providing clear definitions and contextual insights based on the text you highlight. The goal is simple: to bring answers to you instantly, keeping your browsing or reading experience uninterrupted.

Key Features

  • Instant Definitions: Highlight any text, and our friendly librarian will explain it with a concise definition and real-world context.
  • Seamless Chat Overlay: The chat box appears directly on your current page—no need to jump between apps.
  • One-Click Save & Copy: Easily save your full conversation as a text file or copy it to the clipboard with just one click.
  • Privacy First: Your data is never stored. Once you press the on/off toggle, your conversation history is cleared immediately.
  • Device Versatility: Whether you’re on desktop, tablet, or mobile, SlimScreen AI adapts to your environment for a consistent and hassle-free experience.

How It Works

  2. Activate on Any Page:

    • Simply highlight any text on any webpage.
    • Press the keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+X) to invoke the chat overlay.
    • Your friendly librarian appears with a clear definition and context of the highlighted text.
  3. Manage Your Conversation:

    • Use the on/off toggle to hide the overlay and clear your conversation history instantly.
    • Save or copy the full conversation with one-click buttons.

On Mobile/Tablet
