Window AI is a browser extension that allows users to configure and utilize their preferred AI models directly on the web, enhancing privacy and reducing reliance on external APIs. It targets end-users seeking control over their AI interactions, developers aiming to build cost-free, multi-model applications, and model providers looking to integrate into a user-centric ecosystem.

How It Works

The extension injects a window.ai library into web pages, enabling applications to request AI model interactions. Users configure their API keys and select models (including local, proxied, or external services like OpenAI, Google PaLM 2, and Anthropic Claude) within the extension. This approach abstracts away API management for developers and provides users with transparency and control over data flow and model selection.

Quick Start & Requirements
