# Enable Chrome AI ✨

English | [中文](README.zh.md)

Enable Gemini in Chrome, AI Powered History search, and DevTools AI Innovations in Google Chrome—without cleaning data or reinstalling.

## 🖥️ GUI Version (New! Based on https://github.com/lcandy2/enable-chrome-ai script)

A graphical interface is now available for easier use:

```bash
uv run main_gui.py
```

Features:

- 🔍 Auto-detect installed Chrome versions (Stable/Canary/Dev/Beta)
- 🚀 One-click patching with progress indicator
- 📋 Real-time operation logs
- ✨ Modern dark theme UI built with PySide6

### Tech Stack

| Component     | Technology                |
| ------------- | ------------------------- |
| GUI Framework | PySide6 (Qt for Python)   |
| UI Theme      | Catppuccin Mocha (Dark)   |
| Packaging     | Nuitka (Single-file .exe) |

### Build Executable (Windows)

To build a standalone `.exe` file using Nuitka:

```bash
# Run the build script
build.bat
```

Or manually:

```bash
uv run python -m nuitka --standalone --onefile --windows-console-mode=disable --enable-plugin=pyside6 --output-filename=EnableChromeAI.exe --output-dir=dist main_gui.py
```

The executable will be created in the `dist/` folder.

> **Note:** Run `uv sync` first if you haven't installed the dependencies.

Tiny Python helper that enables Chrome's built-in AI features by patching your local profile data (`variations_country`, `variations_permanent_consistency_country`, and `is_glic_eligible`)—no browser flags required.

## ✅ Requirements

- Python `3.13+` (see `.python-version` / `pyproject.toml`)
- Google Chrome installed (Stable/Canary/Dev/Beta)

## ⚡️ Quick Start (uv)

1. Install uv (once):
   - Windows: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"`
   - macOS & Linux: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`
   - See [uv installation docs](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for more options.
2. Install deps (creates venv automatically): `uv sync`.
3. Run the script: `uv run main.py`.
4. Chrome will close while patching; after it restarts, press Enter to finish.

## ⚡️ Quick Start (pip)

1. Create and activate a venv.
2. Install deps: `python -m pip install psutil`.
3. Run: `python main.py`.

## 🔧 What Happens

- Finds Chrome user data for Stable/Canary/Dev/Beta on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Kills top-level Chrome processes to avoid file locks, then brings them back.
- Sets all `is_glic_eligible` to `true` in `Local State` (recursive search).
- Sets `variations_country` to `"us"` in `Local State`.
- Sets `variations_permanent_consistency_country` to `["<version>", "us"]` in `Local State`.
- Restarts any Chrome builds that were running before the patch.

## ⚠️ Caveats / Known Limitations

- The script expects `User Data/Local State` to exist; if it's missing, the run can fail (launch Chrome once to generate it).
- Chrome restart only happens if the executable path can be detected from running processes.
- On macOS, process detection is name-based (`Google Chrome*`) and may terminate more than just the "top-level" app process.
- On Linux, process detection expects an executable name of `chrome`; if your build uses a different name, Chrome may not be closed (and files may remain locked).

## 🛟 Notes

- The script writes to your existing Chrome profile; back up `User Data` if you want a safety net.
- Run as the same OS user who owns the Chrome profile to ensure write access.
- Not affiliated with Google—use at your own risk.
