Zetoe2025 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲107Hi HN — I’m building Zetoe to make AI feel like a native part of the web. Zetoe adds a small blue action bubble whenever you select text on a webpage. From that bubble, you can instantly run AI actions on the selected text — without switching tabs or copying anything. The goal is simple: instant AI actions for any selected text. Current actions include: - Ask AI about the selected text - One-click summaries - Instant translations - In-context fact checking - Smart form autofill I built this because my own workflow kept breaking due to constant context switching between tools.

I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository).
