OpenTeam is a Chrome extension that turns the AI chat websites you are already signed into, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok, into a shared discussion room. Instead of calling model APIs and paying for tokens, it reuses the browser sessions you have open, sends prompts into each AI website through a hidden iframe, and collects the replies into one chat. It is built with Manifest V3 and described as local-first, meaning chats, people, messages, notes, and settings are stored in browser storage rather than on a server. The README suggests using OpenTeam for learning, research, and personal non-commercial work where one model is not enough. Examples given include product reviews, technical design reviews, content planning, personal decisions, and multi-model comparison. It is presented as a sister project to an earlier extension by the same author called OpenLink. The idea took shape after a conversation with a news editor who often needs to compare answers from different models for factual checks. Key features listed are a zero API token workflow, multi-model discussion with at-mention routing so that @person targets one member and @everyone dispatches a task to the whole team, a built-in library of 38 advisor templates, an independent mode that compares isolated answers and a collaborative mode where members can reference and challenge each other, and an optional command line tool called openteamcli. The CLI lets a local coding agent such as Codex or Claude Code create chats, add roles, post tasks, and wait for replies. Installation is done in two ways. Most users clone the repo, run npm install and npm run build, then load the dist folder as an unpacked extension in Chrome. The CLI path uses npm install -g @afumu/openteamcli and a skills installer. Useful development commands include npm run dev, npm run typecheck, npm test, and npm run verify which runs all three. The README is clear that this is unofficial and not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, or xAI. It tells the user not to use it for commercial products, hosted services, paid workflows, bulk automation, scraping, or anything that bypasses access rules or third-party terms.
