Description

Describe the feature you'd like

When clicking on the karakeep button you get the option to take screenshot and store/process/ocr, AI process, in the background

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

In meetings, I take screenshots when things are presented, usually screenshots from diagrams or information heavy slides. It would be great if I can send this to karakeep for processing / tagging / summarizing.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

manual? If I take a karakeep in a meeting now it just stores the link

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

So if it is a video on screen or when specifically requested, take screenshot and process via AI to summarize screenshot and tag and process in karakeep

Research direction
Explore the existing extension codebase to understand how the current button works and how to add a context menu item using the chrome.contextMenus API. Then implement the screenshot capture using chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab.
