About ColibotAI

ColibotAI is a privacy-focused AI extension that empowers users to translate, summarize, and explain any selected text directly on their device. Unlike many AI tools that require sending data to external servers, ColibotAI allows users to choose their preferred engine—be it Chrome's built-in AI, their own API keys (such as Claude, GPT, Gemini), or local models like Ollama or LM Studio—ensuring complete data control. This on-device processing guarantees user privacy, no tracking, and no need for accounts or backend services, making it ideal for privacy-conscious professionals, researchers, and students. Additionally, results are saved as searchable local notes, enhancing productivity and reference management. Made in Switzerland, the tool combines ease of use with robust customization options, offering a versatile solution for those seeking secure and flexible AI-powered text handling.
