NativeMindExtension is an open-source browser extension that provides a private, on-device AI assistant designed to run without cloud dependencies. The project is built around a privacy-first model in which conversations, document analysis, translations, and writing assistance stay on the user’s device rather than being sent to external servers. It integrates with local model back ends such as Ollama and also supports WebLLM for quick in-browser trials, giving users a choice between stronger local setups and lighter no-install demonstrations. The extension is aimed at everyday browser workflows, offering features like multi-tab context awareness, webpage summarization, document understanding, contextual toolbars, and AI-assisted rewriting directly inside the browsing experience. Because it runs locally after setup, it is also positioned as an always-available assistant that avoids API quotas, network latency, and service outages common in cloud-based AI tools.
