This is about using AI in Pocket on your saves.
Imagine you collect a series of articles in Pocket to write an essay or base a project on. If you tag them or add to a Collection, they are all there ready to read and view.
My idea is an AI-assisted reader where AI is used to summarize these articles, draw conclusions and make comparisons. AI assistance could be called with a series of toolbar buttons, perhaps kept under one button to keep a clean interface. Or, it could offer a text box to type natural-language queries, although this would require a lot more development.
With AI, you could
- Summarize an article into [x] bullet points or a paragraph
- Explain this [concept] as if I was an [x] year old
- Explain what this word means
- Convert units to make stats more comparable or making recipes more useful
- Compare these saves to pull out their similars and differences
- Pull out highlight data points
- Create a structured outline using these saves for an essay about [xxx]
- Go to the web and find other useful resources to add to the collection - the only time Pocket-AI uses external sources for information
- Structure results so it’s easy to copy and paste into a document
- Organise sources into structured and dated references
- And probably much more
Here are the unique points
- Pocket-AI is developed in accordance with the Mozilla Manifesto, open and safe for all
- Pocket-AI only uses your Collection as a source of information, therefore it cannot make anything up
- Uses the latest Firefox translation work to enable built-in translation for non-English speakers
- Uses Pocket’s read aloud feature to report findings
Would be interested in what Mozilla and the community think. In a world where everything has AI attached, that tech companies are more excited about AI as a marketing means than consumers are. This is a tool that could be genuinely useful for learners, hobbyists, bloggers and anyone seeking to make sense of lot of information.
