Query many AI providers from one prompt, capture answers with sources, and publish results via your own logged-in browser sessions. Frevana Companion is the browser arm of Frevana Desktop.
Install Frevana Desktop first at https://www.frevana.com/onboarding. Then add this companion extension so the desktop app can drive your logged-in browser sessions without uploading your conversations, cookies, or tab contents to any server.
Frevana Desktop is a local AI workflow tool. This extension is what it uses to talk to your browser. When you ask the desktop app to run a prompt, extract a page to markdown, or publish a post, the work happens inside the tabs where you're already signed in — the extension drives those tabs for the desktop app over Chrome's local native-messaging channel.
WHAT FREVANA DESKTOP DOES THROUGH THIS EXTENSION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
One prompt from the desktop app can be sent to the AI services you select, with results returned side by side so you can compare answers, sources, and reasoning.
Frevana never proxies your questions through our servers. The extension drives the AI provider tabs you're already logged into, so you keep using your existing paid AI subscriptions and your existing conversation context.
For providers that cite their sources, the extension extracts the list of URLs and can optionally open them in background tabs for verification.
Any article, product page, or docs page can be extracted as clean markdown — triggered from a compatible local AI assistant via MCP running inside Frevana Desktop.
Frevana Desktop exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Compatible local AI assistants can ask Frevana Desktop to run browser work on their behalf, and this extension is what carries that work out.
Compose a post in Frevana Desktop, publish to LinkedIn, X/Twitter, or Facebook via your existing logged-in sessions. No API keys, no posting through our servers.
One-click export to JSON, CSV, Markdown, or a zip bundle. Includes per-prompt answers, provider metadata, cited URLs, and optional full-page screenshots.
Everything the extension opens gets organized into a collapsed "Frevana Run" / "Frevana MCP" / "Frevana Publish" tab group in your current window. You always see what was opened and can ungroup, inspect, or close it at any time.
WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES NOT DO ──────────────────────────────
WHO THIS IS FOR ───────────────
HOW IT WORKS ────────────
Frevana Companion runs as a Manifest V3 extension that sleeps in the background until Frevana Desktop calls it. The desktop app speaks to the extension over Chrome's native-messaging API (com.frevana.daemon), which is a local-only IPC pipe that never traverses a network. When a scrape, publish, or extract request comes in, the extension opens a background tab in a color-coded tab group, injects a small content script that drives the provider's own UI, captures the response, and reports back to the desktop. Screenshots are generated via an offscreen document or the Chrome DevTools Protocol so your active tab is never interrupted. All data stays local unless you explicitly export it.
PRICING ───────
Frevana Desktop and this companion extension are free to install. A paid Frevana subscription unlocks multi-model parallelism, extended history, and MCP integration. See https://www.frevana.com/pricing for current plans.
PRIVACY ───────

WHAT'S INCLUDED ───────────────
With Frevana Desktop installed (primary use): ✓ Parallel multi-AI Q&A across the providers you select ✓ Side-by-side comparison with structured export (JSON / CSV / Markdown / ZIP) ✓ Full-page screenshot capture of AI responses, no focus stealing ✓ Cited URL extraction with follow-link opening ✓ Universal web page → clean markdown scraper ✓ MCP integration with compatible local AI assistants ✓ Cross-platform publishing to LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook ✓ Automation workflows triggered from Frevana Desktop ✓ Local-first — your questions, answers, and cookies never touch our servers ✓ Tab groups keep your window organized ✓ Works with your existing paid AI subscriptions
What the extension does on its own (without the desktop app): ✓ Sign in / sign out of your Frevana subscription ✓ Browse and re-open previously captured AI answers from your popup History ✓ Export captured runs as JSON / CSV / Markdown / ZIP at any time ✓ Configure provider selection, concurrency, and screenshot quality from the Options page
The actual scraping and publishing work is initiated by Frevana Desktop. Without the desktop app installed you can still review and export anything previously captured, but you cannot start new multi-AI runs from the extension's UI alone.
