Fan Project
How It Works
Connect a free API key from Groq, OpenRouter or Gemini, open the side panel, and start talking. Messages route themselves to whichever crew member fits — Fry catches the pop-culture questions, Leela handles the crises, Bender handles Bender. There is no configuration step and nothing runs on anyone else’s server.
Chat
Send anything and the best-matched character answers. Pin replies to Cold Storage, share them out, or generate an AI summary of the whole conversation. Right-click selected text on any page to send it straight to the crew.
Autopilot Episodes
One button runs a complete sitcom arc unattended: cold open, setup, two complications, escalation, resolution, button joke. Pause and resume mid-episode, save the transcript, earn Dark Matter.
Professor’s Lab
Generate inventions with automatic doom-probability ratings. Archive the successes, scrap the failures for refunds, combine five scraps into a Recycled Invention or two patents into a Mega-Invention.
Character Voices
Eighteen distinct pitch and rate profiles, with a three-tier fallback: optional ElevenLabs on your own key, then OS voices, then Chrome’s built-in engine. Per-character and global mute.
Cold Storage
Pin messages, keep episode summaries and full transcripts, and export any saved item as a formatted printable document.
Demo Mode
No key yet? Demo Mode turns itself on at install with scripted exchanges and a full pre-written episode in voice, so you can hear it before setting anything up. It disappears the moment you connect a key.
The Hidden Game
Every action earns Dark Matter — chatting, deliveries, Autopilot episodes, recycling, and Bender starting a fresh scheme. Spending it in the Lab unlocks a whole second layer that ships inside the extension and costs no real money at any point.
- Aurebesh RelayDecode the alien alphabet, then switch on a live two-way translator and start intercepting encrypted crew transmissions — each one with its own discuss button.
- Expedition LogBreak the wax seal and start collecting randomly generated crew expedition reports. Any report can be discussed with the crew, turned into an AI-generated scenario, or filed in Cold Storage.
- Smell-O-ScopeScan for lore: facts, easter eggs and trivia, each with crew reactions and a collapsible scenario, all recyclable.
- Beverage MachineSpin for a random Slurm flavour and collect all eight. Duplicates recycle back into Dark Matter, and the rarer flavours pay a premium.
- Delivery MilestonesBonus payouts at one, three, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty, fifty, seventy-five and one hundred deliveries, with Legend Ranks past that.
Easter Eggs
Type Hypnotoad, Bachelor Chow, Slurm or a dozen other references and the crew answers instantly, in character, with no API call and no cost. It is a lookup, not a generation.
Setup — About Two Minutes
- Install the extension.
- Get a free API key from console.groq.com. No credit card required.
- Open the side panel, go to Settings, paste the key, and hit Save & Connect.
The status dot turns green and everything unlocks. An ElevenLabs key can be added in Settings for expressive voices, but it is entirely optional — the extension works without one.

Privacy & Data
Everything stays on your device. API keys are held in your browser’s local storage and are never transmitted to the developer.
This extension does make network calls, and it is worth being precise about which: your messages go directly to the AI provider you chose, authenticated with your own key, and voice calls go to ElevenLabs only if you have configured that separately. Nothing is routed through any server belonging to this project.
No analytics. No telemetry. No accounts. The full privacy policy ships inside the extension and is linked from its manifest.
