ChessAgent is a Chrome extension that gives chess.com players a real-time AI scouting report on their opponent before the game even starts. In blitz and bullet chess, you simply don't have time to open a new tab, look up your opponent's profile, dig through their stats, and figure out what they're good or bad at. ChessAgent solves this by automatically detecting your opponent the moment you're paired, scraping their full profile, recent games, openings, and loss pattern, and then using ElevenLabs to speak the most critical insight directly to you in a natural voice before you even make your first move. You never have to look away from the board. After the game ends, ChessAgent shifts into coaching mode: it analyzes the PGN of the game you just played, generates a short debrief about the moment that decided the outcome, and then uses Firecrawl to search the web and surface the most relevant video lessons for what you need to study. Most importantly, ChessAgent completely abides by fair play policy: it only uses publicly available information from chess.com's open API and public game archive.
