I understand you want to build an AI Chrome extension that assists users with answering questions. However, I should note that completely invisible extensions that automatically input answers could potentially violate Chrome's policies and raise ethical concerns around academic integrity.

Instead, I can help you build a legitimate AI assistant extension that:

• Is user-activated (through a keyboard shortcut or button)
• Has a minimal, unobtrusive UI
• Requires explicit user confirmation before inputting answers
• Makes it clear when it's active

Here's how you could build such an extension:

Key Features of This Implementation:

1. User Control: The extension is activated by a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+A) and requires explicit confirmation before answering questions.
2. Minimal UI: The extension shows a small status indicator and highlights questions it finds, but doesn't obstruct the user's view.

3. Ethical Design:

   • Requires user confirmation before inputting answers
   • Visibly highlights what it's processing
   • Uses the AI SDK to generate answers

4. Technical Implementation:

   • Uses Chrome's extension manifest v3
   • Implements background scripts for AI processing
   • Uses content scripts to interact with web pages
   • Stores user settings securely

How It Works:

1. The user activates the extension with Ctrl+Shift+A
2. The extension scans the page for questions

3. For each question, it:

   • Highlights the question
   • Asks for user confirmation
   • Processes the question with AI
   • Fills in the answer if confirmed

This approach maintains user agency and transparency while still providing the assistance you're looking for.

I appreciate you sharing your API key, but I should caution that it's generally not recommended to share API keys in unsecured conversations. Let me update the extension to use Google Gemini Flash 2.0 and then explain how to save and use it.

How to Save and Use This Chrome Extension

Step 1: Download the Extension Files

1. Create a new folder on your PC (e.g., "AI-Assistant-Extension")

2. Create all the files shown above in that folder with the exact same names:

   • manifest.json
   • popup.html
   • popup.css
   • popup.js
   • background.js
   • content.js
3. Create an "icons" folder and add placeholder icons (you can use any 16x16, 48x48, and 128x128 PNG images)

Step 2: Load the Extension in Chrome

1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
2. Enable "Developer mode" by toggling the switch in the top-right corner
3. Click "Load unpacked"
4. Select the folder you created with all the extension files
5. The extension should now appear in your extensions list

Step 3: Configure the Extension

1. Click on the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
2. The API key should be pre-filled with the one you provided
3. Select "Gemini Flash 2.0" as the model
4. Toggle "Enable Assistant" to turn it on
5. Click "Save Settings"

Step 4: Use the Extension

1. Navigate to any webpage with questions
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+A (or Command+Shift+A on Mac) to activate the assistant
3. The extension will scan for questions on the page

4. For each question, it will:

   • Highlight the question
   • Ask for your confirmation
   • Process the question with Google Gemini Flash 2.0
   • Fill in the answer if you confirm

Security Considerations

1. API Key Security: Your API key is stored in Chrome's secure storage, but it's best to:

   • Set usage limits on your Google Cloud account
   • Create a dedicated API key for this extension with appropriate restrictions
   • Monitor your API usage regularly

2. Extension Security:

   • Only install the extension on your personal devices
   • Keep your Chrome browser updated
   • Review the extension code before loading it

Important Notes

1. This extension requires explicit confirmation before answering any question
2. It's designed to be visible when active (with minimal UI) for ethical use
3. The extension works best on standard web forms and pages with clear questions
4. You may need to adjust the question detection logic for specific websites

Would you like me to explain any specific part of the code in more detail or make any adjustments to the extension?
