AI-Powered Research Assistant for Chrome
Speed up online research with Prophet. Summarize articles, extract key data, compare sources, and compile findings directly from your browser side panel.
Why research slows you down today
Switching between dozens of tabs while trying to compile research from multiple sources wastes time and breaks focus.
Manually copying and pasting relevant data points from articles, reports, and web pages is tedious and error-prone.
Synthesizing information across different sources requires keeping track of where each fact came from.
Traditional search engines return pages of links but do not help you understand or compare the actual content.
How Prophet changes research
Reads and summarizes the content of any webpage you are viewing, extracting the most relevant information for your research topic.
Compares data across multiple open tabs, highlighting agreements, contradictions, and gaps in your sources.
Extracts structured data like statistics, dates, names, and citations from articles and reports into organized formats.
Maintains context across your entire research session so follow-up questions build on previous findings.
What Prophet actually does for research
Prophet is not a chat box that reads pasted text. It works against the live page through Chrome, using the same browser tools every time. Here is the sequence for research, and the tools it calls at each stage.
1. Reads the page you are on
Prophet builds an accessibility-tree snapshot of the article, paper, or docs page instead of screenshotting it, so headings, tables, and footnotes arrive as structured text.
take_snapshotget_page_content2. Follows the sources
Ask it to check a citation and it opens the linked source in a background tab, reads it, and reports whether the claim actually holds up.
open_new_tabnavigatelist_tabs3. Cross-references what you already have open
Prophet can switch between your open tabs and reconcile conflicting numbers across several sources in one answer.
switch_tabsearch_snapshotPrompts to try for research
Open the Prophet side panel on a page where you would normally do research by hand, then paste one of these in.
“Summarize the key findings from this research paper and list any limitations mentioned by the authors.”
“Extract all statistics and data points from this article and present them in a table.”
“Compare the arguments in this article with what I read on the previous tab.”
“What are the three strongest pieces of evidence on this page that support renewable energy adoption?”
“Find and list all the sources and citations referenced on this page.”
