The Sovereign Interface is a persistent sidebar that reads the page you're actually looking at — no copy‑pasting, no tab‑switching. It talks to avalos.ai by default, or to a Sulphur C server you run yourself. Never a third‑party key to paste.
chrome://extensions → ③ turn on Developer mode → ④ Load unpacked, pick the folder.about:debugging → This Firefox → Load Temporary Add‑on. Lasts until you close the browser; reload it any time from this page.Both builds run on the T1 Quick tier of Avalos AI's own sovereign hardware — nothing routes through a third‑party model provider, and there's no API key to manage. Running Sulphur C on your own machine instead? Open the extension's options and point the endpoint at your own server.
Opens next to whatever you're reading — an article, a spec, a spreadsheet — instead of a separate tab you keep losing.
Pulls the text of the page (or just what you've selected) into context automatically, so you can ask about it without pasting anything.
Captures the visible tab as an image when a question needs eyes, not just text — a chart, a layout, a screenshot someone sent you.
Dictate instead of typing, and have replies read back — built on the browser's own speech APIs, nothing extra to install.
A rotating line from the causal‑axiom traditions the whole product is anchored in — the same ones you'll find in the main app's welcome screen.
Every request goes to avalos.ai or to a Sulphur C instance you control — the same on‑device‑ledger privacy model as the web app, never a silent third party.
The permissions this extension already asks for — reading the active tab, injecting scripts, moving between tabs — are the same access a browser‑operating agent needs, not a smaller set bolted on later. Today that access is used to read: the page, your selection, the screen. It's the plumbing Avalos AI's Coder Engine will use to act in your browser directly once agentic browser actions ship, without asking you to install anything new when that day comes.
We'd rather say that plainly now than let the extension imply it already drives your browser for you. It doesn't, yet — it watches and answers.
