Everything you need to know about AnswerIt AI
AnswerIt AI uses advanced AI technology to analyze screenshots and text from any webpage. Simply press Ctrl+Shift+S (or Cmd+Shift+S on Mac), select the area you want to understand, and our AI will provide instant answers with detailed explanations. The extension captures both the visual content and text to give you the most accurate response.
Yes! AnswerIt AI is completely free to use with unlimited snips and AI-powered answers. We believe everyone should have access to learning tools. We're working on a Pro version with advanced features for power users, but the core functionality will always remain free.
AnswerIt AI is powered by state-of-the-art AI models that can understand both images and text. The extension is designed to work with various AI APIs, and by default uses a highly optimized endpoint for fast, accurate responses. You can also configure your own AI API endpoint in the settings if needed.
Absolutely. Your privacy is our top priority. All API calls are made directly from your browser to the AI endpoint - we never store or collect your screenshots or queries. Your API settings are stored securely in Chrome's sync storage. We don't track your usage or sell any data. What you snip stays between you and the AI.
AnswerIt AI works on virtually all websites - educational platforms, online courses, articles, PDFs, documentation, social media, and more. The only exceptions are Chrome's internal pages (like chrome://settings) and some restricted pages for security reasons. If you can see it in your browser, you can snip it!
There are two ways to activate snipping mode: 1) Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+S (Mac), or 2) Click the AnswerIt AI icon in your Chrome toolbar. The keyboard shortcut is faster and more convenient for frequent use. Once activated, your cursor will change to a crosshair, and you can click and drag to select any area.
AnswerIt AI is designed as a learning tool to help you understand concepts and study more effectively. While it can provide answers to questions, we encourage using it ethically and in accordance with your institution's academic integrity policies. It's best used for homework help, study preparation, and learning - not for cheating on proctored exams.
If you experience any issues, first try these steps: 1) Refresh the webpage and try again, 2) Check your internet connection, 3) Click the extension icon and test your API settings, 4) Make sure you're on a regular webpage (not chrome:// pages). If problems persist, check the browser console (F12) for error messages or reach out to our support team.
