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.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I think I'd tack on another idea for this, and that would be to add citations.  If AI is giving you a summary, it would be nice if it would also cite references as links within the page so you could go verify that information or cite it properly.
