Living Web is an AI Assistant browser Chrome extension that lets you use your locally running AI models, or your own API keys, to help with the page you are viewing. Summarize articles, ask questions, chat with documents, extract data, and automate repetitive browser tasks from a lightweight sidebar, without copying content into another tool. Local AI with Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp: Connect Living Web to a local runtime and run supported AI processing on your own hardware. Page content and prompts stay on your machine. Works with open-weight LLM models such as Llama 3.3, DeepSeek-R1, Gemma, Qwen, and Mistral. Ideal if you want private, offline-capable AI assistance while browsing. Bring your own API keys (BYOK): No subscription required. Use your own keys for OpenAI GPT models, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek, or connect through OpenRouter to reach many providers with one key. Keys are stored encrypted on your device and requests go directly to the provider you choose. Key features of our AI assistant:
