A chatbot in your toolbar, for better or worse
A Firefox extension that puts the SUSI.AI chatbot one click away so you don't have to open a separate tab.

What it does This is a Firefox WebExtension that adds a toolbar icon for the SUSI.AI chatbot. Click it, and a chat panel opens without leaving your current tab. The bot answers questions using pattern matching, internet data, and inference rules, and claims to remember context for personalized responses.
The interesting bit The README spends more words explaining how to package and publish the extension to Mozilla’s add-on store than on the bot’s actual features. That either means the tooling is the real audience, or the authors really want you to ship your own fork.
Key highlights
- Built with standard WebExtension APIs, so it should work across Firefox versions 53 and 55 (per the browser badge)
- Installation requires loading an unpacked extension via
about:debugging— no signed XPI provided in the repo - Includes a detailed 13-step guide to publishing on AMO, including signing and distribution options
- Claims SUSI has “reflection abilities” and personalized feedback, though no technical details on how this works
- 1,504 stars suggest some community interest, though activity level is unclear from the README alone
Caveats
- The README is vague on actual capabilities: no API docs, no feature list, no screenshots beyond a single GIF
- The project appears to be a thin client wrapper around SUSI.AI’s backend — essentially glue code between a web service and Firefox’s extension APIs
- “Summit” is misspelled multiple times in the publishing guide, which doesn’t inspire confidence in maintenance rigor
Verdict Worth a look if you need a reference implementation for a Firefox chatbot extension or want to contribute to the FOSSASIA ecosystem. Skip it if you’re seeking a actively maintained, feature-documented AI assistant — this is a wrapper, not a standalone project.
