Anya is trying to sell to a customer that creates Federated Learning software. She's sees the definition on their website, but doesn't understand it. In the past, she would copy it, open a new tab, do a Google search, pick some links, and try to find what she needed. Now with Ask Steve, she can just select the text, right-click, and ask Steve to explain it, translate it, convert it, analyze it, and more.

  1. Here's the explanation that Anya saw:

    Federated learning is a sub-field of machine learning focusing on settings in which multiple entities (often referred to as clients) collaboratively train a model while ensuring that their data remains decentralized. This stands in contrast to machine learning settings in which data is centrally stored. One of the primary defining characteristics of federated learning is data heterogeneity. Due to the decentralized nature of the clients' data, there is no guarantee that data samples held by each client are independently and identically distributed.

  2. Select the text above and right-click to bring up the Chrome context menu. Then click on "Ask Steve to.." and pick "Explain this to me in simple terms". Steve will open a popup and give you an easy to understand explanation.
  3. Let's try a different Skill. Select the text and bring up the menu again and this time pick "Improve this writing". Steve will analyze the text and provide suggested improvements.
  4. What else can you do? Anything! This time pick "ONE-TIME REQUEST" from the menu and you can type in what you want Steve to do. Try typing what types of applications is this useful for? or limerick and see what happens.
😍😍😍 Sweet! Now you can get help without ever leaving the page! This example demonstrates:
  1. How you can get help with any text by selecting it, right-clicking, selecting Ask Steve to... and then a Skill or a one-time request
