| 28 | +### 🔍 What This Does |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +1. **Sonar-Powered Omnibox Answers** |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + - Detects the `sonar` keyword in the omnibox |
| 33 | + - Debounces input and queries the Sonar API |
| 34 | + - Renders the AI’s answer inline as a high-relevance suggestion |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +2. **Context-menu “Summarize with Sonar”** |
| 37 | + - Activates when text is selected |
| 38 | + - Sends selection to Sonar API with a “Please summarize” prompt |
| 39 | + - Opens a new `data:` URL tab showing original text + summary |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### 🛠 Key Features & Use Cases |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- **Instant Research:** Get definitions, explanations, and summaries without leaving your tab. |
| 44 | +- **Developer Productivity:** Quickly test API integrations inside the browser. |
| 45 | +- **Custom Browser Builds:** See how to hook into Chromium’s omnibox and context menus. |
