FlickWhisper Companion

About

Transform your streaming experience with FlickWhisper Companion – the Chrome extension that brings AI-generated commentary to your favorite movies and shows in perfect sync.

🎯 What is FlickWhisper?
FlickWhisper is an AI-powered web application that generates intelligent commentary and analysis for movies, TV shows, and video content. The Companion extension bridges the gap between our webapp and your streaming platforms, delivering synchronized commentary in real-time as you watch.

Think of it like having a knowledgeable friend watching with you – someone who can provide context, analysis, trivia, and commentary at exactly the right moments.

✨ Key Features
Seamless Integration
FlickWhisper Companion acts as a bridge between the webapp and your video player. Simply select your movie or show in the FlickWhisper webapp, and the extension will sync the commentary to your stream automatically.

Dual Sync Modes
Subtitle Overlay: Displays AI commentary as subtitles directly on top of your video stream.
Webapp Sync: Keeps the spoken commentary on the FlickWhisper webapp perfectly timed with your video player's play/pause/seek actions.
Intelligent Audio Ducking
Never miss important dialogue again. When AI commentary plays, the extension automatically lowers the streaming volume by 20%, then restores it when the commentary finishes.

Broad Player Compatibility
Compatible with major streaming platforms like Netflix and others. The extension attaches to generic HTML5 video controls to enable synchronization so you can watch your content anywhere.

Flexible Display Options

Side Panel
PiP Avatar: Your AI companion can react and express emotions in a Picture-in-Picture window.
