Showanswer-AI

Showanswer-AI is a tool designed to automatically fetch answers to questions copied to your clipboard using the Gemini AI model. It monitors the clipboard for new content, sends the content to a local proxy server, retrieves the AI-generated answer, and displays it in a temporary popup window. This is intended to assist with exam preparation or quick information retrieval.

Key Features

• Automatic Answer Retrieval: Monitors the clipboard and automatically fetches answers for copied text.
• Gemini AI Integration: Leverages the Gemini AI model for generating answers.
• Local Proxy Server: Uses a local proxy server to bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions and facilitate communication with the Gemini API.
• Popup Display: Presents the AI-generated answer in a temporary popup window near the cursor.
• CSP Bypass: Includes functionality to bypass CSP restrictions, allowing the extension to access external resources.
• Right Click & Copy Unlock: Aims to unlock right-click and copy functionality on websites where it is disabled.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/versaagonon/Showanswer-AI.git
   cd Showanswer-AI

2. Install Dependencies for the Proxy Server:

   npm install

3. Run the Proxy Server:

   npm start

   This will start the local proxy server on http://localhost:3000. Ensure this server is running in the background while using the Showanswer-AI tool.

4. Install Python Dependencies:

   pip install tkinter pyperclip requests pyautogui

Usage

1. Run the Python Script:

   python showanswer.py

   This will start the clipboard monitoring process.

2. Copy Text: Copy any question or text to your clipboard.

3. View the Answer: A popup window will appear with the AI-generated answer. The popup will automatically close after 5 seconds.

Tech Stack and Dependencies

• Python:
  • tkinter: For creating the popup window.
  • pyperclip: For accessing the clipboard.
  • requests: For making HTTP requests to the local proxy server.
  • pyautogui: For getting cursor position and screen size.
• Node.js:
  • express: For creating the local proxy server.
  • cors: For handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues.
  • node-fetch: For making requests to the Gemini API from the proxy server.
• Manifest V3:
  • manifest.json: Configuration file for the Chrome extension.

Suggested Improvements

1. Implement a User Interface for Configuration: Add a graphical user interface (GUI) to configure the API endpoint, popup duration, and other settings. This would make the tool more user-friendly and customizable.

2. Improve Error Handling and Logging: Enhance error handling to gracefully manage API connection issues, invalid responses, and clipboard access errors. Implement more detailed logging to aid in debugging and troubleshooting.

3. Add a History Feature: Implement a history feature to store and display previously answered questions and their corresponding answers. This would allow users to review past queries and learn from the AI's responses.
