Distinguish reading tools from writing tools
Grammarly watches your keystrokes to fix grammar. Vezz me watches selected text when invoked to explain math, code, legal clauses, and dense research.
Grammarly alternative for reading comprehension, research, and technical analysis.
Grammarly is built for writing, spelling, and tone polishing. Vezz me is built for the other half of your day: reading comprehension, breaking down dense code/papers, and interrogating text you didn't write.
Best fit
Best fit for professionals and students who already have writing tools but need a dedicated, least-privilege extension for active reading and technical comprehension.
