Sloppy : Chrome Extension for AI Slop Detection with Agentic Postgres

Sloppy - Agentic Content Quality Analyzer

Agentic Postgres Challenge Submission - Live production system showcasing multi-agent collaboration using Tiger’s zero-copy database forks

A Chrome extension that detects “slop” (low-quality, templated, repetitive writing) in web pages using Agentic Postgres with multi-agent collaboration. Each analysis runs in its own zero-copy database fork where specialized agents (Collector, Evaluator, Curator) collaborate asynchronously, demonstrating the power of Tiger’s fork-based architecture.

Performance: Analyzes pages in 5-15 seconds with intelligent caching (40-60% hit rate) powered by Tiger’s fast forks and hybrid search.

🎯 Status: Fully deployed on Tiger Cloud with active database and working fork-based architecture.…

📋 Prerequisites

To run this project locally, you need:

Python 3.11 or higher
Tiger CLI installed (for fork management)
Google Chrome or Chromium-based browser
Git (for cloning the repository)

Note: The production database is already deployed on Tiger Cloud. For local development, you can either connect to the Tiger Cloud instance or set up your own Tiger database following the setup instructions below.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/AamishB/Sloppy.git
cd sloppy

2. Set Up Python Environment

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate virtual environment
# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# On Mac/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
### 3. Configure Environment

Create a `.env` file in the project root (copy from `.env.example`):

```bash
cp .env.example .env

Then edit .env with your Tiger Cloud credentials:

# Get your database URL from Tiger Cloud console
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@your-instance.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com:30513/tsdb?sslmode=require

# Path to Tiger CLI
# Windows: C:\Users\YourName\go\bin\tiger.exe
# Mac: /usr/local/bin/tiger or /opt/homebrew/bin/tiger
# Linux: /usr/local/bin/tiger
TIGER_CLI_PATH=/path/to/tiger

# Enable fork-based architecture
USE_TIGER_FORKS=true

# Performance settings
MAX_CONCURRENT_EVAL=10
BATCH_SIZE=10
PERSIST_RAW=true
LOG_LEVEL=INFO

Important: Never commit your .env file! It’s already in .gitignore.

4. Set Up Tiger CLI (Required for Forks)

Install Tiger CLI:

# Download and install from: https://tiger.build/cli

Authenticate:

tiger auth login

Verify installation:

tiger service list

5. Initialize Database Schema

The database schema is already set up on the production instance. If setting up your own:

# Connect to your Tiger database
psql $DATABASE_URL -f db/schema.sql

6. Run the Server

uvicorn fastapi_app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Server will be available at http://localhost:8000

7. Install Chrome Extension

Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions
Enable Developer mode (toggle in top-right)
Click Load unpacked
Select the extension folder from this project
The Sloppy icon should appear in your toolbar

7. Analyze a Page

Navigate to any webpage
Click the Sloppy extension icon
Click Analyze This Page
Watch real-time progress
View results with color-coded highlighting

Why Database Forks?

Isolation: Each analysis job operates in its own fork without blocking others
Consistency: Agents see consistent snapshots of data within their fork
Performance: Zero-copy forks are instant, no data duplication
Rollback: Failed analyses can be discarded without affecting main DB
Parallelism: Multiple jobs run truly in parallel across forks

🔍 How It Works

Analysis Flow

Job Creation & Fork:

User requests analysis via Chrome extension
Backend creates zero-copy fork: fork_page_abc123
Job metadata stored in main database

Agent 1 - Collector (runs in fork):

Extracts text from webpage
Splits into paragraphs
Generates embeddings using sentence transformers
Stores in fork’s paragraphs table

Agent 2 - Evaluator (parallel, runs in fork):

Hybrid Search: Uses both:
pgvector for semantic similarity
pg_trgm for keyword/template matching
Applies heuristic scoring:
Template phrase detection
Repetition analysis (using pg_trgm)
Content length checks
Generic writing patterns
Stores scores in fork’s evaluations table

Agent 3 - Curator (runs in fork):

Aggregates all evaluation scores
Calculates overall slop percentage
Identifies worst offending paragraphs
Creates snapshot in curated_flags

Merge & Cache:

Results merged back to main database
Cached for instant repeat analyses
Fork cleaned up (zero-copy = instant)

Real-time Updates:

WebSocket streams progress to extension
Shows: collector → embedding → evaluating → curator

Results Display:

Color-coded highlighting in browser
Paragraph-level explanations

🧪 Testing

Test the API directly:

# Health check
curl http://localhost:8000

# Analyze content
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/analyze \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"url": "https://example.com",
"text": "Your content here..."
}'

# Check status
curl http://localhost:8000/status/page_abc123

🐛 Troubleshooting

Server Issues

Server won’t start?

# Reinstall dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

# Check Python version
python --version  # Should be 3.11+

Database connection errors?

# Verify database is accessible
psql $env:DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT version();"

# Reinitialize schema
psql $env:DATABASE_URL -f db/schema.sql

# Check pgvector extension
psql $env:DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT * FROM pg_extension WHERE extname='vector';"

Port already in use?

# Use a different port
$env:PORT = "8001"
uvicorn fastapi_app.main:app --reload --port 8001

Extension Issues

Extension not connecting to server?

Verify server is running: http://localhost:8000
Check browser console for CORS errors
Ensure host_permissions in manifest.json includes your server URL

No results appearing?

Check browser console for errors
Verify WebSocket connection is established
Check server logs for analysis errors

Extension not loading?

Ensure all files are present in extension/ folder
Check Chrome Extensions page for error messages
Try reloading the extension

Performance Issues

Analysis taking too long?

# Increase parallel processing
MAX_CONCURRENT_EVAL=20
BATCH_SIZE=20

High memory usage?

# Disable raw text persistence
PERSIST_RAW=false
