Highlight AI companion Extension

This extension allows the user to send the current webpage information to the Highlight AI application for further processing. This extension does not connect to any external servers, it only communicates with the Highlight AI application running locally on the user's machine. Without this extension the Highlight AI application will run Optical Character Recognition(OCR) to extract text content from your screen. But OCR is slow and it consumes a lot of system resources. Installing this extension will make text extraction from your browser much faster using a tiny fraction of the system resource.
