Description
**What problem does this solve?**
Proprietary solutions offer AI-driven clarity suggestions, tone detection, vocabulary enhancement, and generative rewriting. LanguageTool also offers paraphrasing and rule customization. Harper currently focuses on rule-based checks without generative AI.
I would think it should be possible to plug into a local llm (say via Ollama) or a browser based LLM (coming to Chrome).
Actually, a prompt engine could work. Simply allow a "Copy to LLM" link in the dropdown to allow the text to be copied with a prompt header, "Please review this text for plain language."
**Proposed Solution**
Just offer alternatives like Gramamarly does.
**Examples**
I don't know of any example that offers a custom LLM integration.
**Component**
- [ x ] Core engine
- [ ] Plugin/Extension
- [ ] Other: _____
**Additional Context**
Any other relevant info.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue identifies the core engine but names no files, tests, entry points, provider boundary, or acceptance criteria. First clarify whether the work is an Ollama integration or a “Copy to LLM” flow, then define how the selected behavior will be tested and what completion looks like.
