Description:

Problem Statement
Currently, to use AnythingLLM with text from another application (e.g., a browser, an e-reader), the user has to manually copy the text, switch to the AnythingLLM app, and paste it. This process is cumbersome and inefficient.

Proposed Solution
I would like AnythingLLM to integrate with the context menu that appears when selecting text in any Android app. This would add an option like "Ask AnythingLLM" alongside the standard "Copy", "Share", and "Search" options.

User Story
As an Android user, I want to be able to select text in any app (like MoonReader, Chrome, etc.) and send it directly to AnythingLLM from the context menu, so that I can quickly ask questions or process the text without manually switching apps and copy-pasting.

Example Use Case:

  1. I am reading a book in the MoonReader app.
  2. I select a sentence I don't understand.
  3. In the pop-up menu that appears, I tap the "Ask AnythingLLM" option.
  4. The AnythingLLM app opens with the selected text pre-filled, ready for me to type my prompt.

Additional Context
This is a standard feature in other AI-powered apps like Perplexity and Claude, and it dramatically improves the user experience and workflow.

Real Examples using MoonReader
