Chrome extension
An interview copilot that is just a browser extension
No application to download, nothing running beside the call, nothing installed on the machine you were lent for the job. Trippi Cue is added to Chrome in one click and lives in the tab your interview is already in.
Extension or application
Two ways to put a copilot next to a call.
Most tools in this category arrive as a desktop program. That is a real choice with real consequences — in both directions — so here is the whole of it rather than the flattering half.
What you install
A browser extension is added from the Chrome Web Store in one click and lives inside Chrome. A desktop application is a program you download, run and keep updated, and on a work laptop you often simply cannot.
What it can reach
An extension sees the tab you started it in and nothing else. An application that captures your screen or your system audio sees whatever is in front of it — every window, every notification.
What it costs the machine
No installer, no background service, no startup item, nothing to uninstall afterwards beyond removing the extension.
Where it stops
A tab is also a hard limit: the desktop Zoom and Teams clients are outside a browser, so an extension cannot help there. That is the price of the same boundary that keeps it contained.
How it behaves
From the store to the call, and back out again.
-
1
Added from the Chrome Web Store
The same two clicks as any extension, reviewed by Google before it is listed. Nothing is downloaded by hand and there is no file to drag anywhere.
-
2
Started by a real click
Chrome hands the sound of a tab to an extension only after you click its icon in that tab. There is no autostart to configure and no way for it to begin on its own.
-
3
Drawn inside the page
The window lives in its own shadow tree in the meeting tab: the call’s styles cannot reach it, and its styles cannot reach the call. Move it, resize it, close it.
-
4
Gone when you close it
Closing the window pauses the session. Removing the extension ends everything at once — there is no service left behind to stop.
What it can reach
The boundary, in full.
An extension is only as trustworthy as the list of things it can touch, so here is that list without a “and more” at the end.
Where the sound and the recognised text go afterwards, and how long any of it is kept: the privacy policy →
Where it works
Three platforms, all in a tab.
- Google Meet → — ready the moment it is installed.
- Zoom on the web → — join from the browser, not the app.
- Microsoft Teams on the web → — including the corporate addresses.
If your interview is booked in the Zoom or Teams desktop client, ask for a browser link or join from the browser yourself. That is not a workaround — it is the only place an extension can hear anything.
And in the rooms themselves
What a card looks like depends on the kind of interview you are in:
FAQ
About the extension itself.
Which browsers does it work in?+
Chrome and Chromium browsers on a computer — Edge, Brave, Opera and the rest of the family. Firefox and Safari use a different extension system and are not supported.
Is there a phone version?+
No. Mobile browsers do not run extensions like this one, and a call in a phone app is not a browser tab at all.
What if my company blocks extensions?+
Then this one is blocked too — an enterprise policy that restricts what can be installed applies to Cue like to anything else. There is no side door, and we would not build one.
Do I have to keep it updated?+
Chrome does that quietly in the background, the way it does for every extension. There is no updater to run and no version to chase.
Does it slow the call down?+
The work happens outside the page: audio recognition runs over a connection of its own and the answer is written on our side. What lands in the tab is text in a small window.
Can other people see the window?+
Not in the call itself. But it is drawn inside your browser page, so it is visible to everyone if you share that tab — close it before you present, or share a different window.
Is it the same extension as Trippi?+
No. Trippi is our other extension, for translated captions over a whole meeting. Cue is this one: it answers the question asked of you. Separate listings, separate plans.
One click to add it, one click to start it.
Trippi Cue is in the Chrome Web Store. Nothing else lands on your machine, and removing it leaves nothing behind.
