What it does

AI Buddy is a free, open-source Chrome extension that changes how you interact with AI while browsing. Select any text on a webpage and send it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or DeepSeek — no copy-pasting. Capture annotated screenshots with crop, highlight, and arrows before sending. Features 10 starter scenarios, keyboard shortcuts, and per-platform send behavior. Privacy-first: no backend server, your data goes directly to the AI platform you choose.

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
