  • Follows along as you scroll, marking the points on your screen.

Ask about the page

Answers you can check.

Type a question or just say it. Frisk answers only from the article and lights up the sentences it used, so you can see the proof yourself.

  • Every claim is numbered and linked to a sentence on the page.
  • Ask out loud with the microphone and hear the answer read back.
  • If the page doesn't say, Frisk tells you instead of making something up.

FAQ

Questions

Is Frisk free?

Yes. Frisk is free to install and use, with a generous daily limit.

Which pages does it work on?

Articles: news sites, Wikipedia, blogs, online textbooks and most pages with a main block of text. PDFs and Google Docs aren't supported yet. If a page can't be read, the Frisk icon shows a red ✕ so you know.

Does it do my homework for me?

No. Frisk shows you where the important parts of a reading are and answers questions only from that page, always pointing to the sentence it used. You still do the reading and the thinking, just faster.

Does it work on a school Chromebook?

On most. Some school networks block new websites until they're reviewed; if Frisk says it can't reach its server, ask your school's IT to allow friskserver.com.

Who made Frisk?

A high school student who wanted a faster way to get through long readings for class. Feedback goes straight to the person building it: use the contact link on the Chrome Web Store page.
