PC nerd here. Ask-Steve fits my browser flow. It reads the page I'm on and uses that context so a quick shortcut gets the job done without copy-paste. Agents are easy to work with and one click is all it takes. The extensions connects straight to the LLM or webhook I choose so I'm not piping data through a mystery server which helps trust. Good daily boost, kudos to the team! :3
