Browser Extension

This is the data capture module that helps extract important metadata and content from a web page.

Architecture

Browser Extension → Local FastAPI → Local Vector Store (SQLite / FAISS)

Setup

• Open Terminal and clone the repo using: git clone https://github.com/pastense/extension.git
• Head over to chrome://extensions/ if you're on Chrome, and click Load Unpacked (see below).

• Locate the directory containing the cloned repo and load it.
• With the FastAPI service running, enter your OpenAI API key into the form at https://127.0.0.1:8000 (don't worry, it's stored locally!)

Next Steps

Once installed, Pastense will automatically log and embed your browsing data locally.
You can search semantically through your history via the UI served by the FastAPI service.
