AI Roundtable is a Chrome extension designed for researchers and power users to facilitate multi-AI collaboration and critique. It allows users to simultaneously control and interact with multiple AI models (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) within a single interface, enabling them to debate, cross-evaluate, and uncover AI blind spots. This experimental prototype validates a unique "roundtable" workflow, offering a novel way to deepen AI-assisted thinking without requiring API access or complex orchestration.

How It Works

This project intentionally bypasses AI APIs, opting instead to interact directly with the web UIs of Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. This approach is chosen because web UI behavior often differs from API responses due to model variants, hidden system settings, or UI-specific features, allowing the experiment to validate the workflow under real-world conditions the author uses. The extension employs content scripts injected into AI pages and a background service worker for message relay, managed via a Chrome sidepanel UI.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Clone the repository, navigate to chrome://extensions/, enable "Developer mode," and click "Load unpacked," selecting the project folder.
• Prerequisites: Google Chrome browser, active logged-in sessions for Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
• Setup Tip: After installation, refresh each AI page to ensure reliable detection by the extension.

Highlighted Details

• Unified console accessible via a Chrome sidebar.
• Multi-target sending allows a single message to be dispatched to multiple AIs simultaneously.
• Supports sending image or document attachments to multiple AIs.
• Mutual critique mode (/mutual) enables AIs to evaluate each other's responses.
• Cross-referencing (@ syntax or /cross) facilitates one AI critiquing another's output.
• Discussion mode allows two AIs to engage in multi-round debates on a given topic.
• Leverages existing AI subscriptions by operating on their web interfaces, eliminating the need for API keys.

Maintenance & Community

This project is described as a "low-maintenance project," with contributions welcomed for bug reports, documentation, and small fixes. Feature requests may not be prioritized due to limited maintenance capacity. The author, Axton Liu, is an AI Educator and Creator with links to their personal website, YouTube, and Twitter/X. No specific community channels like Discord or Slack are listed.

Licensing & Compatibility

The project is released under the MIT License, which generally permits commercial use and modification. However, its experimental nature and reliance on the DOM structure of third-party AI platforms introduce inherent compatibility risks.

Limitations & Caveats

As an experimental prototype, AI Roundtable is not production-ready and offers no guarantee of long-term compatibility, as AI web UIs are subject to frequent changes that can break functionality. Ongoing maintenance and rapid fixes are not promised. It lacks cloud backend features, user accounts, data persistence, and complex workflow orchestration. The discussion mode is limited to two participants, and specialized features like Claude Artifacts or ChatGPT Canvas are unsupported. Gemini's automatic file upload is restricted due to security, requiring manual user intervention.
