# Chrome extension for research, papers, and source-heavy reading.

Vezz me helps researchers and students question dense sources in place, capture explanations, and move through material faster.

## How it works

1. **Question the claim**: Select the claim, method, or unfamiliar term that needs explanation.
2. **Separate source from inference**: Ask what the page says, what the answer infers, and what needs outside verification.
3. **Move into notes**: Copy a concise explanation, assumption, or next-check item into your research log.

## Built for evidence-heavy pages

Research work often fails when notes and sources separate. Vezz me keeps the answer beside the original passage.

- Clarify assumptions in papers and reports
- Ask what a claim depends on
- Copy a concise explanation into a research log

## Use custom prompts as research lenses

Switch from explanation to critique, summarization, or source-checking without changing tools.

- Tutor mode for learning
- Research lens for assumptions and evidence
- Careful reader mode for claims that need verification

## Link research without tab overload

When a paper or article links to references, open the link and use Vezz me on the target page. Extract the key finding, then return to the original source with a note instead of an open tab.

- Follow citation links and extract key claims in place
- Avoid accumulating tabs for every reference
- Copy concise notes from linked sources into your research log

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Vezz me useful for academic research?

Yes, especially when you are reading papers, methods, reports, and references. It helps clarify passages, but important claims should still be verified against primary sources.

### Does Vezz me create citations?

Vezz me helps you understand and capture notes from the source page. You should still use your citation manager or style guide for formal citations.

### How should researchers use AI safely?

Use AI for comprehension and question generation, then verify evidence yourself. Keep source URLs and separate direct claims from your own notes.
