Overview

AI Code Explainer: Helps you understand code faster by generating clear AI explanations using AI models and optionally reading them aloud — in plain, natural language.

Powered by Google Gemini models, the extension can analyze selected code snippets and provide easy-to-understand explanations directly in your browser.

For this version: You will need to create and use a Google AI API key. I’ve selected the most cost-effective model currently available, and in the future, support may extend to other AI models.

Perfect for developers, students, or anyone curious about how code works.

Listen to the explanation while reading it using browser's built-in speech function.

Runs directly in your browser.
