Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Attention is a local-first Chrome extension that combines an article with a user-supplied portable AI profile and current goal to suggest Read/Skim/Skip decisions, with passage highlighting and encrypted local vault storage. Its interesting angle is the 'Portable Context' concept—transferring personal context from AI assistants into a user-controlled, inspectable format—plus optional on-device semantic search with no API key required.

Target audience: knowledge workers, readers, privacy-conscious users, frontend/extension developers
