Daneel AI

Your First Page Chat

This tutorial walks you through chatting with a webpage for the first time. By the end, you’ll have asked a question about a page and received an AI-generated answer.

1. Navigate to a page

Section titled “1. Navigate to a page”

Open any article, documentation page, or blog post in Chrome. For this tutorial, pick something with a few paragraphs of text — a Wikipedia article works well.

2. Open Daneel AI

Section titled “2. Open Daneel AI”

Look for the floating launcher bubble in the bottom-right corner of the page. Click the sparkles icon (Ask Site) to open the chat panel.

If you don’t see the bubble, click the Daneel AI extension icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the side panel instead.

3. Ask a question

Section titled “3. Ask a question”

The chat panel opens with Page mode selected by default. Type a question about the page content and press Enter.

For example, on a Wikipedia article about space exploration:

What were the key milestones in the Apollo program?

4. See the response

Section titled “4. See the response”

Daneel extracts the page content, sends it along with your question to the active AI model, and streams back a response. You’ll see tokens appear in real time.

The response is formatted in Markdown with headings, lists, and tables rendered inline.

5. Continue the conversation

Section titled “5. Continue the conversation”

Ask follow-up questions. Daneel keeps the conversation context, so you can refer to previous answers:

Which of those milestones had the highest budget?

6. Try a different page

Section titled “6. Try a different page”

Navigate to a new page and ask another question. The chat context resets per page in Page mode.

What just happened

Section titled “What just happened”

Daneel extracted the page content using a three-strategy pipeline (Readability.js, CSS cascade with Turndown, or plain-text fallback), assembled it into a prompt with your question, and streamed the response from your active AI provider.

Everything ran locally if you’re using the default WebGPU backend. No data left your machine.
