Smart Finder

Product Introduction

1. Smart Finder is a Chrome extension that replaces traditional browser search (Ctrl+F) with AI-enhanced functionality for smarter content discovery. It integrates natural language processing and pattern recognition to locate information without requiring exact keyword matches. The tool operates locally in the browser while offering optional cloud-based AI features through Google login.
2. The product’s core value lies in accelerating information retrieval across complex documents and webpages through semantic understanding. It reduces manual scanning by automatically detecting patterns (emails, dates, addresses) and answering conceptual queries like "What’s the main point?" while maintaining compatibility with standard browser search shortcuts.

Main Features

1. AI-Powered Semantic Search processes natural language queries to find contextually relevant content, even without exact keyword matches, using on-device processing for standard searches and cloud-based AI for advanced requests.
2. Automated Pattern Detection identifies 12+ data types including phone numbers, URLs, IP addresses, and dates in multiple regional formats (e.g., "07/04/2025" and "4 July 2025") through regular expression and machine learning models.
3. Multi-Layer Highlighting uses color-coded overlays to simultaneously display different search results (primary matches in yellow, patterns in blue, AI-relevant content in green) that update dynamically as users scroll through pages.

Problems Solved

1. Eliminates time-consuming manual scanning of lengthy documents by combining regex pattern matching with LLM-driven semantic analysis, reducing average information retrieval time by 60-80% according to internal benchmarks.
2. Serves researchers, legal professionals, and technical analysts who regularly process data-dense content such as contracts, academic papers, and technical specifications requiring both precise pattern matching and conceptual understanding.
3. Enables rapid extraction of structured data (contact lists, event timelines) from unstructured text and identification of key arguments in legal briefs or research articles through hybrid search methodologies.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike basic find-in-page tools, Smart Finder combines regex-based pattern detection with three AI operation modes: local lightweight NLP for privacy-sensitive tasks, optional GPT-4 integration for complex queries, and hybrid model switching based on content type.
2. Implements a token-based pricing system where users receive 200 free AI queries/month (1 token/query) before transitioning to paid usage ($0.01/token), while maintaining completely free access to pattern search and basic semantic functions.
3. Offers zero-configuration cross-language support through automatic detection of translated web content in 7 major languages, supplemented by user-adjustable sensitivity sliders for pattern recognition thresholds and AI response verbosity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Smart Finder differ from regular Ctrl+F? It uses natural language processing to find conceptually related content beyond exact matches and automatically detects data patterns like dates/emails, while maintaining backward compatibility with traditional keyboard shortcuts.
2. Is my data secure with AI searches? All standard searches and pattern detection process data locally; cloud-based AI features require explicit Google login and encrypt queries using TLS 1.3 with ephemeral keys, never storing search content or results.
3. What languages does it support? Optimized for English with full sentence understanding, while pattern recognition and basic keyword translation work in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch through integrated multilingual NLP models.
4. Are there hidden costs? The core pattern search and basic AI functions remain permanently free; only advanced AI queries exceeding 200/month require token purchases, with real-time usage tracking visible in the extension’s dashboard.
5. Does it work on all Chrome pages? Compatible with 98% of web content except PDF viewer and browser settings pages, with planned WebExtensions API updates to cover additional edge cases in Q4 2025.
