I wanted to share something new we've been working on and make one big ask.
Grammit is an AI grammar and spell checker. Since it uses AI, it can fix a range of mistakes that regular grammar checkers can't. It also runs the AI right on your machine without using any cloud services for checking.
The big ask: please give Grammit a try and let us know what you think. You can install it (it's free!) here:
You may run into some rough edges. If you do, we would love to hear about them so we can get them fixed! Grammit also requires a fairly hefty computer; if it can't run on your machines due to the system requirements, it will let you know once you've installed it.
Your feedback will be super helpful in improving Grammit . We want to roll these features into AI Blaze but we wanted to polish the technology first, which is why we're launching Grammit as a stand-alone extension.
You need at least 4 GB of VRAM and 20 GB of free hard drive space (the model itself only takes a gigabyte or two, but Chrome won't download it unless you have 20 GB of free space).
Most likely one of these checks is failing. Unfortunately, Chrome doesn't provide additional details at this time. We're hoping they will provide more information about failure reasons in the future.
This is exciting news. AI Blaze is an outstanding tool, so I have no doubt that Grammit will be great too. However, so far, on my system, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm on Mac (Tahoe) with plenty of resources and I've tried on both Chrome and Brave. I get the confirmation that the engine is downloaded/loaded, no error messages, but no words are ever underlined.
(As far as privacy is concerned, although it's great that a local LLM is used, it might also help build trust to get the "Featured" badge, although I have no idea how that works.)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I"ve also tried disabling other extensions.
Would you be available for a quick video call to look at the issue together? Please shoot an email to support@blaze.today and I'll send over some potential time slots.
If you tested Grammit and it didn't work because your computer doesn't support the local AI model, please give Grammit another spin. We've now added an option to allow it to use a remote model.
