01
Works on any selection
Select text in any app and a floating toolbar offers translation, rewriting and summaries on the spot.
02
Text and pictures
Beyond text, it analyzes screenshots and images, and translates inline into 50+ languages.
03
Tested backend
The NestJS API classifies errors, writes pino logs and ships with full test coverage.
Capabilities
Working now
- Inline text translation (50+ languages)
- Style rewriting — formal, casual, concise

- NestJS API with classified errors and pino logs
Current autonomy level
Weakest link
Primary→fallback model chain now shipped (VERD-0052/0056), so the old single-provider cap is obsolete. The real ceiling is a static /health with no dependency validation and no dead-man's switch; the hard cost circuit breaker (an L4 item) is still absent.
Roadmap to L4
- L3 polish — Zod-validate every Claude response; declared tool scopes (no shell exec).
- L4 lift — Claude → GPT-4 → Gemini fallback chain via Model Connector; hard cost CB (max 50K tokens / $1 per request); per-provider circuit breaker (3× 5xx → OPEN 60s); Redis state checkpoint for multi-step jobs.
- Verification — chaos test with simulated provider outage; confirm fallback works.
