Backbencher

About

Backbencher lives right inside Echo360. open any lecture and it's already there — no rewinding, no rewatching at 2× hoping you'll catch it, no sitting through 90 minutes for the 4 minutes you actually need 🫠

── what it does ──

💬 ai chat
ask the lecture anything. "what did the prof say about dynamic programming?" gets you a real answer, not a generic one. the ai has actually read your transcript.

🎴 auto flashcards
backbencher spits out study cards straight from the lecture content. revise what was actually covered, not what you think was covered at 2am the night before the exam.

🗂️ chapter outline
a full structured outline with jump-to timestamps. find the part you need in seconds instead of scrubbing through 90 minutes of someone clearing their throat.

💾 saved history
chats and notes are saved per lecture, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

── how it works ──
- install the extension
- sign in with google
- open any echo360 lecture — the backbencher popup appears automatically ✨
- start chatting, generate flashcards, or get an outline

── pricing ──
free to start — you get a credit allowance each month that resets on the 1st. no card required. if you want more, top-ups start at $4 aud (about a can of coke 🥤).

── who made this ──
solo project. built by a student who got tired of rewinding the same lecture four times. not a startup, not a corporation, no growth hacker in sight. just a tool that actually helps.

works on echo360.net.au lectures. sign in with google required.
