What is ClawSide?

ClawSide is a Chrome extension that brings your local AI assistant directly into your browser. Select text on any page to translate, summarize, or ask questions — no copy-pasting required.

Built with privacy in mind: everything runs locally via your own OpenAI-compatible gateway (OpenClaw, Ollama, Hermes Agent, etc.). Your data never leaves your machine.

Features

• 🌐 Translate — Select text to translate into any language instantly
• 📄 Summarize — Get a quick summary of any webpage with one click
• 💬 Ask — Chat with AI about the current page’s content
• 🔘 Floating Bubble — Appears on text selection for quick access
• ⚙️ Radial Menu — Long-press for more tools (translate page, summarize, ask)
• 📜 Chat History — All interactions saved per tab and URL
• 🎨 Beautiful Dark UI — Terminal-inspired design, matches OpenClaw’s aesthetic
