HOW IT WORKS · STEP 02

Share the window to Meet. Audience scans in.

Jump to your Meet tab, tap Present now, pick the Slides window (audio and all). The audience sees the QR pinned next to your deck and reads it with their phone camera.

  • Share only the Slides window — the sidebar travels with it
  • Include tab audio so voice-triggered polls still work
  • Audience uses their phone camera — no app install on their side

HOW IT WORKS · STEP 03

Phone in, photo + question, sidebar catches it.

After the scan, attendees land on a clean mobile form. They snap a shot of your slide, type their question, tap send — and it lands in your sidebar with the photo attached. Only you see it.

  • Inline screenshots make the confusing slide impossible to miss
  • Questions can be directed @ a specific speaker or @ Anyone
  • New questions badge the sidebar so you never miss one mid-talk
The AI Toolkit

Six Tools. One Sidebar. Zero Tab-Switching.

Every tool below runs inside the Chrome sidebar, right beside your slides. Most are triggered by voice — so your hands stay on the clicker.

Live Q&A Feed
Questions, votes and comments stream into the sidebar the instant someone taps send.
Voice-Triggered Polls
Say “let's vote on A, B or C” — Gemini turns your sentence into a live poll in two seconds.
Countdown On Cue
“Take 5 minutes” and a timer pops up on the screen. Breaks become one-word commands.
Ambient BGM
Fade in soft background music while you work through the answered pile. Your room feels alive.
Inline Screenshots
Audience paste screenshots into their question. You spot the bug they're asking about instantly.
Live Transcription
Optional captions in 20 languages, so attendees watching remotely can follow along too.
TA Mode

Your Presenter
Cockpit.

TA Mode is a dedicated spotlight view for whoever is running the room. One question front and center, keyboard-driven, with the QR always on so late-joiners can still scan.

  • Spotlight One Question At A Time
    Big type, always centered. You never lose your place mid-answer.
  • Keyboard-Driven Moderation
    ← → to navigate. A mark answered, D dismiss, U undo. Stay heads-up.
  • Always-On QR
    A scan pad pinned to the corner so late-arrivers can join any time.
  • Filter By Speaker
    Co-presenting? Narrow the queue to questions addressed to you.
  • Screenshots & Comments Inline
    Audience can paste screenshots; side-discussions surface under each question.
  • Auto-Sorted By Upvotes
    The room's most-wanted question is always at the top.

Questions we get asked a lot

Everything, in one spot.

What is TA pilot?
TA pilot is a Chrome sidebar that docks next to your slides (Google Slides, Keynote Web, Notion, anything) and gives presenters live Q&A with upvotes, voice-triggered polls, ambient music, countdown timers, and inline screenshots — without tab switching. The audience joins by scanning a QR code on the slide, no app install on their side.
Is TA pilot free?
Yes. TA pilot is free for any session size today. There are no caps on attendees, questions, polls, or sessions. The Chrome extension is a free install from the Chrome Web Store.
Do attendees need to install anything?
No. Attendees use the camera app on their phone to scan the QR code on your slide, which opens a lightweight mobile web form where they ask questions, attach screenshots, and upvote others. Nothing to download.
How is this different from Slido or Mentimeter?
Slido and Mentimeter live in a separate tab or window, so you context-switch away from your deck. TA pilot is a Chrome sidebar that stays docked beside your slides — questions, polls, and timers are in peripheral vision the whole talk. Polls are triggered by saying them aloud (Gemini turns the sentence into a live poll in two seconds), not by leaving your deck to fill out a form.
Can I run TA pilot during a Google Meet or Zoom call?
Yes. Share the Slides window (not the whole screen) with tab audio included. The sidebar travels with the window, so attendees watching remotely see the QR pinned to your slide and hear your voice commands. Voice-triggered polls work for the remote audience too.
What languages does TA pilot support?
The landing page and participant UI are available in 20 languages including English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Live transcription supports the same 20 languages.
Does TA pilot work in classrooms?
Yes. Teachers use TA pilot to run anonymous Q&A during lectures, capture photo-attached questions from students' phones, run quick formative-assessment polls by voice, and display countdown timers during exercises. Participation typically doubles compared to raised-hand Q&A.
How do voice-triggered polls work?
Say something like "let's vote on A, B, or C" and TA pilot streams the audio to Gemini 2.5 Flash, which returns a structured poll in under two seconds. The poll is pushed to every connected audience device and results stream back to your sidebar as taps come in.
Is my session data private?
Sessions are gated by an admin password that only you know. The admin password is stored server-side through a secure Postgres function — it is never exposed to the client. Session data auto-deletes 36 hours after the session ends. No attendee names or emails are collected.
Can co-hosts join the same session?
Yes. Any number of co-hosts can join using the session code and the admin password. Each co-host can answer questions, trigger polls, and moderate alongside you.
