WhatsApp AI Response Helper

Use Google Gemini 2.5 Flash on WhatsApp Web to draft smarter replies and understand messages in other languages. You use your own API key from Google AI Studio; data is sent to Google only when you generate a reply or translate.

New & expanded ! ! !

Translate where you already work

In the extension popup: translate any incoming line in the recent-messages preview; copy the result.
Inside WhatsApp: open a message’s ⋯ menu and tap Translate—see the result inline under the bubble or in a popover, with copy and dismiss.
Pick a default “translate into” language in Settings.
Reply in the right language
Set default response language to Auto (match the conversation) or choose a fixed language (English, Spanish, Hebrew, Japanese, and more—the same options as in the app).

Sound like you, not a template
Beyond the six tone presets, add an optional persona description (role, audience, words to use or avoid). It’s saved locally with your extension data.

Clearer failures
When something goes wrong with the API or setup, you get clearer, actionable error messaging instead of a generic failure.

Tougher on a moving target
Conversation reading is built to stay useful as WhatsApp Web’s UI changes, including paths that go through shadow DOM where needed.

Smarter primary action
If you’ve typed a draft, the main button focuses on improving your draft; if the box is empty, it generates a full reply.

Also includes (core experience)

AI reply suggestions from the last 10 messages, with you vs. contact detection and draft capture.
Six personas: Professional, Casual, Friendly, Formal, Empathetic, Concise.
Insert generated text into the compose box; copy replies and translations.
Refresh conversation to reload context from the open tab.
API key stored locally; chat text goes to Gemini only when you use those features—no separate backend from this extension.
Built with React, TypeScript, Vite, and Manifest V3 (service worker + content scripts on web.whatsapp.com).
Requirements

Google Chrome (or another Chromium browser that supports Manifest V3 extensions).
An active Gemini API key from Google AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey
WhatsApp Web open at web.whatsapp.com with a chat selected when you refresh context or insert a reply.
Quick start

Install the extension and open the popup.
Paste and save your API key (stored only on this device in extension storage).
Open WhatsApp Web, pick a conversation, then use Refresh conversation if needed.
Generate a reply or use Translate from the popup or the message ⋯ menu.
What the extension can access

Host access is limited to WhatsApp Web (to read the open chat and insert text) and Google’s Generative Language API (to call Gemini). Conversation text is not sent to servers run by the extension author—only to Google when you trigger AI features.

Limitations

WhatsApp’s web UI changes over time; if something stops working, try refreshing the page or updating the extension. Replies and translation depend on your API quota, billing, and whether the Generative Language API is enabled for your Google Cloud / AI Studio project.

WhatsApp Web AI Response Helper

Write better WhatsApp Web replies with Google Gemini 2.5 Flash. Generate responses, improve drafts, translate messages, hear messages aloud, and (on Pro) turn voice into text directly inside WhatsApp Web.

Basic: sign in with Google and use monthly cloud credits for AI features. Pro: a larger monthly credits pool, optional bring-your-own Gemini API key (BYOK), and Pro-only extras like voice-to-text. Pro users who add a key can choose whether WhatsApp-side AI runs on plan credits or their API key.

✨ Main Features
🤖 AI reply suggestions
Natural replies based on recent conversation context.

✍️ Improve your drafts
Refines what you already typed without throwing away your intent.

🌍 Translate messages
From the popup or from WhatsApp message menus.

🔊 Speak messages aloud
“Speak” in the message menu using your browser’s text-to-speech.

🎙️ Voice to text (Pro)
When you tap the mic, choose Voice to text or a normal voice note. Review the transcript, then insert it as text. (Requires Pro; uses your browser’s speech recognition.)

💬 Inline WhatsApp controls
Generate from inside WhatsApp Web, preview, copy, or insert into the compose box.

🎭 Writing personas
Professional, Casual, Friendly, Formal, Empathetic, or Concise.

🧑‍💼 Custom persona description
Describe tone, role, audience, phrases to use or avoid. When you’re signed in, it can stay in sync with your account.

🗣️ Language control
Reply language: Auto or fixed. Separate default translation language.

☁️ Cloud mode (Basic & Pro)
Google sign-in, plan and remaining credits in the popup. Usage draws variable credits depending on how large each request is (longer chats / messages use more).

🔑 Own API key (Pro / BYOK)
Add your Gemini API key from Google AI Studio. Optional encrypted backup to your account so you can restore it on another device after signing in.

🆕 Recent updates
• Basic vs Pro plans with different monthly cloud credit pools
• BYOK limited to Pro; clearer messaging when an upgrade is needed
• Pro: choose cloud credits vs your own key when both are available
• Voice-to-text choice dialog on the mic (Pro only)
• Persona description can sync with your signed-in account
• API key can be saved securely to your account (Pro)
• Credit use scales with request size; balance and plan shown in the popup
• Clearer errors for sign-in, Firebase setup, credits, and API issues
• More resilient WhatsApp Web reading and text insertion

🚀 How it works
Open WhatsApp Web and select a chat.
Open the extension popup or use the inline AI control in WhatsApp.
Generate a reply, improve a draft, translate, or (Pro) use voice-to-text.
Review the result before copying or inserting.

🔒 Privacy & data
• The extension reads the active WhatsApp Web chat when you use a feature, not on its own.
• AI runs only when you trigger it.
• In cloud mode, text goes to Firebase Cloud Functions, then to Google Gemini.
• In BYOK mode, request text goes from your browser to Google Gemini.
• Settings and optional data (e.g. API key locally; encrypted key backup on Pro) follow the paths shown in the extension.
• The extension does not send messages automatically.

✅ Requirements
• Google Chrome or another Manifest V3 Chromium browser
• WhatsApp Web: https://web.whatsapp.com
• A selected chat
• Google sign-in for cloud features
• Pro for BYOK and voice-to-text
• Gemini API key (for Pro BYOK): https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey

⚠️ Limitations
• WhatsApp Web changes often; sometimes a refresh or extension update helps.
• Replies and translations depend on Gemini availability, credits, quota, and API access.
• Voice-to-text and Speak depend on browser speech support and permissions.
• Voice-to-text is a Pro feature.
