Hello from the UK
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Samuel, a recent CompSci grad from the UK. I built Answerly (chrome extension) because it's the tool I desperately wished I had during my degree.
I was constantly getting stuck on problems and grew so frustrated with the clunky process of copy-pasting code errors or screenshotting quiz questions into a separate AI tab. It was a total focus-killer.
Answerly is my solution: a one-click AI assistant that lives in your browser. It visually analyzes your screen to solve the problem right in front of you, so you never have to break your flow.
I'm the solo maker behind this and will be here all day to answer every single question. I would love to hear your honest feedback. Let me know what you think!

Hey Samuel, this makes a lot of sense. I know the frustration of having to switch tabs or copy errors while coding. It kills focus and breaks your flow. What I like about Answerly is that it stays in your browser and solves the problem right where you are. That approach is simple, but it hits the exact pain point. I’m curious to try it and see how smooth it feels in real use.
Hi Samuel,
Welcome to Product Hunt.
That's a valid problem you picked and set out to solve.
I am thinking to check this out tomorrow during my free time. Yeah, our time zones may vary, but I will share my thoughts about the extension you built.
BTW, when are you planning to launch Answerly on PH?

@ashok_nayak Hi Ashok,
Thanks so much for the warm welcome and the kind words! It really means a lot. To answer your question, the official launch is tomorrow, September 23rd.
I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts once you've had a chance to try it out, no rush at all, and i appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks
Samuel

I tried Answerly a few hours back. The page UI is good, the extension works fine too.
During the first screen scan, I forgot to enter the question.
The second screen scan didn't give me the answer I expected.
By the time I mastered how to use it correctly, all 5 credits were gone.
As I promised to share my feedback, I would simply say it's a good tool but the trial credits are probably insufficient for a new user to develop some familiarity with Answerly. Maybe make it 10, and it should work well for most.

@ashok_nayak Okay Thank you very much for the feedback, i will definitely take this into account.

@ashok_nayak and also letting you know it refreshes daily, so you will have another 5 scans tomorrow
