Page Assist browser extension integrates local and cloud LLMs

Page Assist is an open-source browser extension that integrates with local LLMs via Ollama or cloud-based providers like AIHubMix. It allows users to interact with AI models directly within their browser sidebar, collapsing the copy-paste workflow for tasks such as summarizing web pages or answering questions based on content. The extension supports various configurations, including using local models for short tasks and cloud models for more demanding operations, and offers features like a 'Chat with Website' mode and integration with embedding models for knowledge retrieval.
