What is Hilo?

Hilo is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. Select a word, a sentence or a paragraph on any page, click the small button that appears, and an explanation streams in beside the text. No new tab, no copy-pasting into a chat.

It takes context from around the selection and from the page, so the answer fits what you're reading, not a dictionary entry.

Modes: Explain (with "Go deeper" when you want more), Simplify, Translate.

It's an AI wrapper, kept deliberately minimal so you stay focused on what you're reading. What you select is not stored. You can turn it off per site.

Free: 5 explanations a day. Pro: 100 a day for €2/month or €10/year.
