## So You Built a Great Squarespace Site...
And now you're thinking it would be even better for your users if could you add some AI to it. But then you start thinking about what that entails. You need to learn to code, figure out what AI system to use, build an integration into your site, maintain it forever, and then **pay for it all**! It's easier just to do nothing. 

What if you could add AI capabilities to your website in minutes, without having to do any of those things? 

## The Ask Steve Solution
The Ask Steve browser extension gives users a 1-click AI assistant and tool belt for their browser. While it comes with a few default tools and has a library of 100+ more, **you can create & brand your own tools, just for your site, and give your users the ability to install them with 1-click**. So instead of building your own integration, leverage Ask Steve and then you don't have to learn how to code, you don't have to learn about all the different AI systems, you don't have to build an integration into your site, you don't have to maintain anything, and best of all, you don't have to pay anything, and neither do your users. Ask Steve has a free plan, and users use **their own** accounts with AI providers (which they can also get for free), so it's **TOTALLY FREE** for everyone. 

## How Does it Work? 
You use the Ask Steve extension to configure some code that you then copy and paste into a page on your Squarespace site. Then you tell your users to go to that page and in a few clicks they have everything installed. 

<br />
<div style={{ position: 'relative', paddingBottom: '56.25%', height: 0, overflow: 'hidden', maxWidth: '100%', height: 'auto' }}>
  <iframe 
    src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UZzPzxTez98?si=GPOpQTEJf4alBn4B" 
    title="YouTube video player" 
    frameBorder="0" 
    allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" 
    referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" 
    allowFullScreen 
    style={{ position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0, width: '100%', height: '100%' }}>
  </iframe>
</div>
<br />


## What's the Catch? 
There is no catch! You get AI capabilities on your site for free and your users get to use them for free. We built our product and made a free plan because we want people to use it! If you have concerns about how any of the data is used, [this page](/docs/permissions) explains the permissions that we ask for and how we treat user data.

## Did You Know...
.. that you can build your own AI agents with no code at [Agent.ai](https://agent.ai)?

And that you can access them in the flow of work with Ask Steve?

I like to try out the various agent platforms to get a sense for what they're capable of. Billed as the "professional network for AI agents", Agent.ai currently has 800+ agents that you can use, and they have a no-code agent builder so that anyone can build their own and make it available for others to use.

It was built by [Dharmesh Shah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dharmesh/), founder and CTO at HubSpot. 

The video below starts with a quick demo of the end result, and then dives in to how to create an agent and then wire it up to Ask Steve.

Add FREE AI Superpowers to your Web Site or Application with the Ask Steve Widget


> **You can use Ask Steve for FREE with local models. [Read how](/docs/local-models).**

I've had several conversations with very active ChatGPT users recently who mentioned security as a concern, and didn't know that you can run AI/LLM models **locally**. When you run a model locally, the LLM runs on your own computer. The primary benefit of this is that your requests never leave your machine, so all your data is kept private. The secondary benefit is that it's FREE. 

Using local AI models does have drawbacks. First, you need to be able to download and store a large model file (e.g. 3+ GB). Second, you need a reasonably powerful computer to run these models effectively, otherwise they'll be too slow to be of use. Third, the quality of locally-run models typically lags behind cloud-based models - although they are more than good enough for many cases. Finally, despite the local processing, performance can still be slower than cloud alternatives because cloud systems are running in giant server farms. 

There are several applications that make using local models easier. Here are the ones I often point people to because they have simple UIs. Some even enable chatting with your own files.

* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/)
* [Jan](https://jan.ai/)
* [gpt4all](https://www.nomic.ai/gpt4all)

In general if you download one of these, you'll be given an option to pick a model to download from their library. Picking one of the more recent Meta Llama models or Mistral models that is in the 4GB range is usually a safe bet. You could also try DeepSeek R1 to see what all the buzz is about - using one of these tools is a really easy and secure way to do so without having to worry about where your data is going.

(Picture above is me chatting with DeepSeek R1 in LM Studio running on my MacBook)

I've been using Google Docs more recently to write things for print publications, and have found Ask Steve to be super helpful as a writing assistant and editor. 

It can provide suggestions and commentary, generate lots of alternatives, and more - basically be another set of eyes on what you're writing. 

And since it's right there where you're writing, it's 100x more useful than bouncing back and forth to ChatGPT or Gemini. 

You can either ask for whatever you want, or use one of the many writing-related Tools from the library. 

It also works in Word 365.

Give it a try! - rajat
