Understand what you read, right beside the page.
Select a passage. Kavalu explains it in plain words and answers your follow-up questions.
How it works
Select a passage
Highlight a sentence or a paragraph on any page you are reading.
Ask, or pick an action
Kavalu opens in Chrome’s side panel beside the page. Choose Explain, Summarize or Translate, or type your own question.
Keep what you learned
Save an answer as a flashcard. Cards stay on your device, and you can review them in the panel or export them to Anki.
What it can do
It reads and answers in English, Kannada and Hindi. Every action is on the free plan, with daily limits.

Your reading stays yours
Kavalu reads a page only when you ask it to. Selected text and results are not stored; only the cards you save are.
