Chiko AI: Research Assistant with Citations & Bias Check

Turns any webpage into key points, biases, and open questions, with every point linked to its source sentence.

# Chiko AI **Chiko AI is a button in your Chrome browser that reads a webpage for you and tells you what it says.** Some pages are very long: a news article, a school paper, a forum with hundreds of replies. Instead of reading all of it, you open Chiko and get the main points in a short list. In under a minute, you know whether the page is worth your time. --- ## What Chiko does ### 1. Shows you the main points fast Chiko gives you the core of a page in three short points, then a fuller list of key takeaways. On a forum thread, it tells you who said what and which answers other people agreed with. ### 2. Pulls out the numbers Figures, counts, and stats are gathered into one table, each with a note on where it came from. You don't have to hunt for them. ### 3. Tells you what the page might be getting wrong Chiko checks the page for bias. For example: - The advice comes only from people who already succeeded. - The answers only reflect one field's habits. - Some replies are really ads for a service. ### 4. Shows you what's missing Chiko lists the arguments the page never answered and the questions it left open. This helps a lot when you are researching, writing, or making a decision. ### 5. Lets you check every point Every point has a small link. Click it, and the page scrolls to the exact sentence the point came from and highlights it. You never have to take Chiko's word for anything. ### 6. Answers your questions Want to know more? Ask Chiko a question about the page. It answers from what is written on that page, not from guesses. --- ## Why you should install it **You save time.** You can tell in seconds whether a long page is worth reading, and skip the ones that aren't. **You can trust what you read.** Normal chatbots give confident answers with no way to check them. Chiko links every point back to the original sentence, so you can verify it in one click. **You see the full picture.** A plain summary only repeats the page. Chiko also shows its blind spots, like bias, ads, and unanswered questions. **You stop collecting tabs.** Everything you read is saved to your library. You can search it later by website or tag, instead of keeping twenty tabs open and forgetting what was in them. **You never switch tabs.** Chiko sits in the Chrome side panel. The page stays on the left and the summary stays on the right. **It works on pages behind a login.** Chiko reads the page inside your own browser, so it can handle things like internal wikis, dashboards, and subscription sites. **You keep your notes.** Download them as Markdown, PDF, or JSON to save or share. **You choose your AI.** Use the built-in option with no setup, or connect your own Claude, Gemini, or Groq key. --- ## A note on privacy Chiko extracts the page text inside your browser, so your page is not sent to a third-party scraper. To analyze the page, the text is then sent to the AI provider you use (the built-in one, or the one tied to your own key). Your reading data is never used to train AI models, and your browsing history is never sold. --- ## Who it's for - **Students and researchers:** understand a paper's argument before reading it end to end. - **Writers and journalists:** check claims against their sources faster. - **Developers:** digest docs and specs without twenty tabs open. - **Founders and professionals:** get through long reports and market research quickly. - **Anyone who reads a lot** and wants to understand things faster.
