Âncora

A free Chrome extension and institutional website, built from scratch by Webmari, that help people manage online gambling urges through AI-powered supportive conversations.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Âncora was created to address a sensitive problem: helping people in Portugal and Brazil who struggle with compulsive gambling or excessive internet use. The idea is simple and powerful: a browser extension that interrupts access to betting sites with an empathetic conversation, instead of just blocking and frustrating the user.

This is one of the projects we're proudest of: Webmari developed Âncora end-to-end, from the institutional site to the Chrome extension itself, including a PHP backend that acts as a secure intermediary for the Gemini API, and an admin panel with authentication and a Supabase database. As a web and software development agency based in Lisbon, this project shows our ability to go far beyond a website, delivering complete digital products.

Building not just the messaging for a mental-health product, but the product itself: a functional browser extension with strict privacy requirements, and AI responses that sound human and never clinical or alarmist.

Full development of the Chrome extension, with site interception, a chat interface and AI integration, paired with an institutional site with a warm tone of voice, a short onboarding flow and a transparent FAQ section about data security.

Webmari builds complete products: websites, web applications and browser extensions, with the same team that created Âncora in Lisbon.
