Most likely you will find a solution or answer below for your issue. Please note there is a separate Guide on Billing Issues.
Here are few basic things to try if something goes wrong with HARPA.
Going through these steps in order fixes most of the problems.
You can connect to multiple AI providers in HARPA AI. Some connections are more stable than others.
Depending on the LLM connection you're using, please check their current status to verify the AI servers are up and running:
If connection status shows errors, switch to stable CloudGPT for the downtime period.
If the connection status shows no issues, please navigate to the AI providers' chat page, and test if AI responds.
If you can chat with AI on a website, but not on HARPA AI, proceed to the following steps.
Make sure you have the latest version of HARPA AI running. To force the latest HARPA AI version:
Quite often turning HARPA OFF and ON resets the HARPA and solves the problem.
Right click on a HARPA AI icon. Ensure HARPA AI has access to all websites. HARPA requires web page access in order to run Page-aware and Web-ware requests, show Quick Access Bar, HARPA AI frame and other features.
Open HARPA on any page. Click a lightning bolt / your avatar icon in a circle at the top.
To login to HARPA AI, navigate to the login page and enter your credentials. HARPA Chrome Extension will automatically synch your login status with the website.
If nothing above helps, try fully restarting your browser:
Or hold Ctrl+Q (Windows) / Command+Q (Mac) to the same effect.
This basic guide often resolves App issues, but if your problem persists and HARPA isn't working, use page navigation on the left to search the guide section you need.
This section addresses web session connection issues. Common problems are caused by Antivirus and certain web browsers:

This may happen on Web Session Connection from time to time. Unfortunately, there is no stable fix. We recommend using the API or our premium connection - CloudGPT.
As a workaround, enable and disable HARPA extension or delete cookies for chatgpt.com website might help.
Follow this guide to connect HARPA AI to Gemini.
If you are logged in and Gemini website chat is working, but HARPA fails, please try to:
HARPA AI uses the current Gemini model, selected on the website. To switch to Gemini Advanced:
Follow this guide to connect HARPA AI to Claude.
If you are logged in and the chat on the ClaudeAI website is working, but HARPA fails, please try switching to a different Claude LLM in the connections menu: for free users, the correct version is “Claude 3 Sonnet”.
If this does not help:
The Vivaldi browser has a bug that prevents HARPA from working correctly with GPT-4 web session connection.
This bug was acknowledged by Vivaldi team, but has not been resolved as of date of writing. Currently, there is no workaround apart from using a different browser.
Please consider using a different Chromium-based browser.
Kaspersky Antivirus could cause AI connections to fail. There are two settings to check:
Option 1: Disable Anti-Banner feature
To enable or disable Anti-Banner in the main window, perform the following steps:
Restart your browser and try using HARPA AI again. If the issue is resolved, you can follow Kaspersky's instructions to configure the Anti-Banner feature to work on specific websites.
Option 2: Disable "Inject script into web traffic"
Open Settings > Security Settings > Network Settings > in Traffic Processing section Disable "Inject script into web traffic" option, restart browser to see if the issue persists.
Make sure to specify correct API proxy URL for your LLm provider, which can be found in the HARPA's tooltip:
The minimum settings required for the API connection to work include: API key, Chat Model, API proxy URL. Typical configuration looks like this:
If all data is correct and the connection fails, ensure your OpenAI/OpenRouter account is funded. For help, check out the full guides:

You can reuse chats within the same browser, but not across multiple browsers or devices. For privacy, chat histories aren't sent to servers but stored locally, ensuring extra level of security.
Please consider the following when using HARPA:
Currently, HARPA handles only web-based PDFs and can not access files on your local file system directly.
You can upload PDFs to Google Drive, DropBox, or similar cloud storage, receive them via email, or fetch from services like arxiv.org.
Working with local PDF files is one of the features in our roadmap.
Most HARPA AI commands send a {{language}} parameter with the prompt.
HARPA UI is currently available in English only. We will internationalize and translate the user interface once all the major features are implemented.
Not at the moment.
The Firefox version as well as UI translation are planned after all the major features are implemented.
