Facebook NewsBridge

Transform you Facebook experience with Facebook NewsBridge!

This innovative AI browser extension utilizes a retrieval-augmented large language model (LLM) to provide context to news shared on Facebook. Users are also able to generate thoughtful responses aimed at bridging conversations.

Key Features

1. Links detection: If there is a link attached to a post, the extension can the review the information associated with that link and provide relevant contextual information.
2. Informed Responses: Generate responses based on the latest news and data to foster meaningful conversations.
3. Up-to-date Sources: Uses OpenAI’s model, augmented with web search, to provide breaking news sources in real-time.

Important Usage Notes

• Beta Version: This extension is currently in development and is being continuously improved.
• Verification Required: Large Language Models (LLMs) can occasionally produce errors. Always verify critical information before sharing.
• OpenAI API Cost: Users are required to use their own OpenAI account and API key. There may be a small cost associated with using OpenAI's API. This is paid directly to OpenAI.

LLM Details

1. Current Model: OpenAI's gpt-4o-search-preview is used for searching the web and getting context. OpenAI's gpt-4.1 is used for generating Bridging Comments.
2. Future Plans: We are actively working on changing the prompts for better use of the Extension.
