Your reading companion

Reading is solitary. Understanding doesn't have to be. Different moments call for different things—Avruta meets you where you are.

Get unstuck

When you hit something confusing

Jargon, acronyms, dense concepts—Avruta spots what might trip you up and explains it based on your comfort level. Click any highlighted term or ask questions about the content.

Think deeper

When you want to explore ideas

Assemble a discussion with AI personas—a systems thinker, an economist, a skeptic—who engage with the article's ideas. Challenge assumptions, explore implications, see what you might be missing.

Question the argument

When something feels too persuasive

Not sure you buy it? Avruta helps you find the holes in the reasoning—the author's or your own. Push back on claims, stress-test arguments, and see if the conclusions hold up.

How it works

Three ways to activate Avruta on any page. Use whichever feels natural.

Click the icon

Click the Avruta icon in your Chrome toolbar. The side panel opens and reads the page.

Keyboard shortcut

Press Alt+Shift+A (or ⌥⇧A on Mac) for instant access from anywhere.

Right-click menu

Right-click anywhere on a page and select "Read with Avruta" from the context menu.

Explore the content, ask questions, and understand more deeply.

Your data stays yours

No accounts. No backend servers. You control what the extension sees.

Only when you ask

Avruta sits idle until you trigger it. It only reads a page when you explicitly click—no passive monitoring, no background activity.

Your API key, encrypted

Use your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. It's encrypted locally with AES-256 and never leaves your machine.

Direct to your provider

Article content goes straight from your browser to your AI provider. No middleman. No Avruta servers in between.

Stored locally

Conversations, explanations, and settings stay in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine except the API calls you initiate.
