    > Data processed via servers in Mainland China

    Appreciate the transparency, but maybe you could add some European (preferably) alternatives ?

      Please use your own LLM api instead!

      The free testing LLM is Qwen hosted by Aliyun. Qwen and DeepSeek are the only ones I can afford to offer for free. It's just there to lower the try-out barrier; please DO NOT rely on it.

      The library itself does NOT include any backend service. Your data only goes to the LLM api you configured.

      I tested it on local Ollama models it works fine.

    This is highly experimental right now, but here are some quick links for anyone wanting to dig deeper:

    - GitHub: https://github.com/alibaba/page-agent

    - Live Demo (No sign-up): https://alibaba.github.io/page-agent/ (you can drag the bookmarklet from here to try it on other sites)

    - Browser Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/page-agent-ext/akld...

    I'd be really interested in feedback on the security model of client-side agents giving extension-bridge access, and taking questions on the implementation!

    Is this Affiliated with the Chinese company Alibaba? Any chance data goes there too?

    Confusing name because of the existence of pageant, the putty agent.

      Darn. Pageant would've been a nice name though. Maybe `page-agent.js` is more relevant in web dev community.

      Came here to say missed opportunity to call it "PAgent". Rolls off the tongue better than Page Agent.

    Looks cool! Are you open to adding AWS Bedrock or LiteLLM support?

    Very cool!

    I'm particularly impressed by the bookmark "trick" to install it on a page. Despite having spent 15 years developing for the browser, I had somehow missed that feature of the bookmarks bar. But awesome UX for people to try out the tool. Congrats!

      Thanks!

      Bookmarklets are such an underrated feature. It's super convenient to inject and test scripts on any page. Seemed like the perfect low-friction entry point for people to try it out.

      Spent some time on that UX because the concept is a bit hard to explain. Glad it worked!

    Not exactly the same but I'd also point to Paul Kinlan's FolioLM as a very interesting project in this space. A very nice browser extension,
