What it does

Written by AI from the README

An AI research assistant in the reader sidebar or a pinned floating window, driven by your local Antigravity CLI (agy) rather than an API key. Add PDF selections or annotation cards to the chat, fill annotation comments from replies, and save answers to notes.

Lets you use the models behind Antigravity while reading, with Obsidian-style formatting, LaTeX and Mermaid diagrams, instead of copying text into another chat tool.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
