How to Use Chep?

Get Your API Key (We recommend Google Gemini)

To use Chep, you need an API key from a supported AI provider. We strongly recommend Google Gemini because it's easy to set up and offers a generous free tier.

How to get your Google Gemini API Key:

Go to the Google AI Studio.
Click on "Get API key".
Sign in with your Google account if prompted.
Click "Create API key in new project".
Your API key will be generated. Copy it to your clipboard.

For other options, you can also use keys from OpenAI or OpenRouter.

Configure Chep in YouTube

After installing the extension and getting your API key, you're ready to start chatting!

Go to any YouTube video.
You'll find the Chep AI Companion panel on the right side of the page, below the video details.
Click the Settings icon (⚙️) in the Chep panel header to open the configuration menu.
Select your AI Provider (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenAI) from the dropdown menu.
Paste your API Key into the corresponding input field.
Click "Save Changes".
That's it! You can now close the settings and start asking questions about the video in the chatbox.

Is chep Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

chep requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

chep is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
