Install

HARPA AI is a browser extension, not a CLI package. There is no npm install or terminal command. Installation is done through the browser's extension store.

Supported Browsers

  • Google Chrome
  • Brave
  • Opera
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox

Step 1: Add to Browser

Go to the Chrome Web Store (or your browser's equivalent) and add the extension:

Chrome / Brave / Edge / Opera:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/harpa-ai/

Open https://harpa.ai/ and click ADD TO BROWSER. You will be redirected to the official extension listing for your browser.

Do NOT install HARPA from third-party CRX file downloads. The official store listing is the only safe source.

Step 2: Pin the Extension

After installation, pin HARPA AI to your browser toolbar so the icon is visible on every tab. In Chrome: click the puzzle-piece Extensions icon in the toolbar, find HARPA AI, and click the pin icon.

Click the HARPA icon in the toolbar, or press:

  • Alt+A (Windows / Linux)

The HARPA AI sidebar panel will open on the right side of the current tab.
