Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for ADHOC – AI Study Assistant. Here, you’ll find answers to the most important questions about how our app works, its unique features, and how it actively supports your learning and focus.
How does the ADHOC extension help users study and stay focused? What problems does it solve?
ADHOC supports learning and concentration through a toolkit specifically designed for neurodiversity (ADHD) and effective deep work:
Active Learning: It generates AI quizzes based on real-time video transcripts, forcing you to recall information instead of passively watching.
Enforced Focus: The 'Auto AI Questions' feature automatically pauses the video during a work session, requiring an answer to the question before you can continue watching.
Time Management: The built-in Pomodoro timer allows you to set Focus and Rest cycles, helping you maintain a steady learning rhythm.
Distraction Blocking: The Distraction Tracker monitors tab activity and sends system notifications if you leave YouTube during a focus session.
What makes ADHOC unique, especially regarding data privacy and AI performance?
ADHOC’s uniqueness is built on a 'Privacy by Design' approach, which completely eliminates the need to send data to the cloud:
On-device AI: It leverages the Gemini Nano model (LanguageModel API) built directly into the Chrome browser, ensuring that video transcript analysis and question generation happen exclusively on your computer.
Zero Data Collection: The extension requires no account creation, no login, and no email address, providing total anonymity while you study.
Transcript Privacy: YouTube captions are retrieved locally by a background script and processed instantly by the AI, with no external servers involved.
Local Storage: All your notes, Pomodoro timer settings, and game progress are saved solely within your browser’s local storage (chrome.storage.local).
Discrete Monitoring: The Distraction Tracker checks open tab URLs in real-time, but all operations are performed locally and never send your activity data to external servers.
What are the most common questions or concerns for new ADHOC users?
The most frequent questions involve data security and how Gemini Nano, our on-device AI, generates quizzes without sending video content to external servers. Users often wonder if ADHOC has access to their private information or browsing history. Rest assured, all data processing happens exclusively on your device. ADHOC operates in full compliance with 'Privacy by Design' principles and collects zero personal data.
