Ask Bar: AI Answers on Every Page
Congrats on the launch! I have a question around this how safe is this? If it "reads the page" then how sure are we that it won't read financial information and maybe expose it as vulnerability?

@aakanksha_saini Thanks a lot! And that’s a very fair question.
Short answer: Ask Bar “reads the page” locally in your browser, and we don’t have any server that stores or logs your data.
A bit more detail:
Ask Bar runs entirely as a browser extension. It parses the page content locally to understand headings, sections, etc.
When you ask a question, only the relevant text/screenshot is sent directly from your browser to the AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) using your own API key.
Your API keys are stored only in chrome.storage.local and never sent to our servers – we never see them.
We don’t log or store your page content or chats on any backend; there’s no central database of what you do.
In terms of financial information: the risk is essentially the same as if you manually copied and pasted that content into ChatGPT / Gemini yourself. And if you prefer, you can always disable the extension on banking/financial domains so it never runs on those pages at all.
So: Ask Bar gives you the convenience of “reading the page,” but keeps control and data ownership on your side.

That zero copy-paste workflow sounds amazing. Best wishes to the team

@getsiful Our goal is to change browser usage habits and increase productivity. Ask Bar is a product that will be very successful in this regard. Thank you very much for your valuable comment.
Local-only is the only way I'd trust a browser agent these days. Smart move on the BYOK architecture.
I’m curious — when someone lands on a new software website for the first time,
what’s the most effective way to help them quickly understand:
what the product actually does
who it’s built for
and why they should care
Do you think:
written copy is enough?
short demo clips work better?
or a simple animated explainer makes things clearer?
For founders building new SaaS tools, clarity seems to be a big challenge — especially when the product is complex.
What’s worked best in your experience?
