Hello World: Why I Built Eyesme (And Why You Need It)

I didn't build Eyesme Extension because I wanted to start a company. I built it because I was annoyed.

I was annoyed that I couldn't copy text from a video. I was annoyed that I had to read 10 pages of fluff to find one answer. I was annoyed that my browser felt dumb.

We have these supercomputers in our pockets, but we're still manually transcribing text like it's 1995? Come on.

The "Aha!" Moment

I was watching a coding tutorial. The code was right there on the screen. I paused the video and started typing it into my editor. const data = fetch(...) I made a typo. The code crashed. I spent 20 minutes debugging.

I stared at the screen and thought: "Why can't I just grab that?"

That was the spark.

What Eyesme Actually Does

It's simple. It connects your eyes to the AI brain.

• See it: Screenshot anything (video, image, PDF).
• Get it: Extract the text, the data, the code.
• Understand it: Ask the AI to explain it, summarize it, or rewrite it.

It's not just a "summarizer." It's a web interpreter.

Who is this for?

It's for the lazy ones. The efficient ones. The ones who hate wasting time.

• Developers: Steal code from videos.
• Students: Summarize lectures.
• Investors: Analyze charts.
• Everyone: Stop retyping text.

Give it a Spin

I'm biased, obviously. But I use this tool every single day. It has saved me hundreds of hours. I hope it saves you some too.

Install Eyesme. Let me know what you think.
