    Gemma Gem is a Chrome extension that loads Google's Gemma 4 (2B) through WebGPU in an offscreen document and gives it tools to interact with any webpage: read content, take screenshots, click elements, type text, scroll, and run JavaScript. You get a small chat overlay on every page. Ask it about the page and it (usually) figures out which tools to call. It has a thinking mode that shows chain-of-thought reasoning as it works. It's a 2B model in a browser. It works for simple page questions and running JavaScript, but multi-step tool chains are unreliable and it sometimes ignores its tools…

  • Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void.
