A new way to use AI in your browser
Today we are proud to announce the general availability of Daneel AI 1.0, a Chrome extension that brings AI directly into your browsing experience, with privacy as a first-class citizen.
Daneel lets you ask questions about any web page, search entire websites semantically, and build a personal knowledge vault from your own documents, all powered by on-device inference that never sends your data to external servers.
What you can do with Daneel
- Page Q&A —> highlight a page, ask a question, get an answer grounded in the actual content
- Site RAG —> crawl and index an entire site via its sitemap, then search it with natural language
- Vault —> import your own documents (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, plain text) and chat with them
- Multiple AI backends —> run fully local with WebGPU, connect to Ollama, use Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano, or bring your own Claude API key
- MCP tool use —> connect remote MCP servers (Stripe, Vercel, Supabase and more) and let the AI call tools on your behalf
Privacy by design
Every inference mode in Daneel has a clear privacy profile. The default (WebGPU) runs entirely on your GPU with zero network calls after the initial model download. Your pages, your documents, your questions: they stay on your machine.
What comes next
This is just the beginning. We have a packed roadmap ahead: better models, more document formats, enterprise features, and deeper integrations. Stay tuned for updates right here.
Thank you to everyone who tested early builds and shared feedback. Daneel 1.0 is yours.
