HARPA AI pricing, use cases, and first steps

HARPA AI is an extension for the Chrome browser. It opens a panel on the side of any web page. In that panel, you use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini on the page you’re looking at: summarize it, reply to an email, pull information out of it. HARPA can also monitor a page and alert you when a price or a piece of text changes.

HARPA AI has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Demo, $0. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What HARPA AI does

Who it’s for: people who spend their days in the browser: research, purchasing, prospecting, answering lots of email.

Summarize the open page

HARPA reads the page you’re looking at and produces a short or long summary, as a list, text, or a report. You can then ask questions about the page.

Summarize a YouTube video

HARPA reads the video’s captions and pulls out the key points. Videos without captions cannot be summarized.

Reply to an email

HARPA summarizes the message you received, then suggests a reply. You choose the tone and the general idea, it writes. It works in Gmail, Outlook, and ProtonMail, and also on LinkedIn.

Also

  • Monitor a price or a page
  • Three ways to reach the AI
  • Ready-made commands, and your own
  • Run a command at a set time
  • Ask about an image or an area of the screen

HARPA AI pricing

HARPA publishes its prices in dollars. A “Megatoken” is a unit of usage. The vendor gives these benchmarks: 300 messages with a high-end model, or 100 YouTube video summaries. A top-up of 20 “Megatokens” sells for $22.50.

What the free plan includes

A demo plan: the built-in commands, your own commands, and page monitors. Access through your ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account is limited to 10 messages per day, and the total is capped at 100 command runs.

Nova’s advice

Start with the demo: ten messages a day are enough to see whether summaries and email replies are useful to you. Pay only if you use it every day. If you already have a ChatGPT or Claude subscription, first compare with what that subscription does on its own in the browser.

A first try, in 4 minutes

Your data. Your conversations stay in your browser. A page’s content is sent to the assistant you chose only when you ask.

What it does less well

  • Reading and summarizing a page works well. Multi-step automations (click, fill in, chain actions) are built by hand in an editor: this is not a tool that figures things out by itself, and it is not a beginner’s task.
  • Monitors and scheduled commands only run if your browser stays open on your computer.
