  sourceLanguage: 'en',
  targetLanguage: 'es'  
});
const translated = await translator.translate(text);

Lightning Payment Integration

// Pay for premium AI features
const result = await lightningAI.askPremium(prompt, {
  cost: 10 // 10 satoshis
});

// Automatic L402 protocol handling

Why This Matters

The Convergence of Three Trends

  1. Local AI — Chrome bringing AI directly to browsers for privacy and speed
  2. Micropayments — Lightning enabling sub-penny transactions for pay-per-use models
  3. Agent Economy — AI systems that can participate in commerce autonomously

The Result: AI That Pays for Itself

This extension represents the first implementation of economically autonomous browser AI. Users get private local processing for free, and can seamlessly upgrade to premium capabilities through instant Bitcoin payments.

"The future of web AI is local-first with global payment rails. Privacy and economics finally aligned."
