Never miss a Top Hat
participation point.
AutoTopHat runs in your lecture tab, spots live Top Hat questions the second they open, and submits a response for you. Your participation grade stays at 100% even on the mornings you can't be there.

1. Add to Chrome
One click from the Chrome Web Store, then sign in with Google. Nothing to configure.
2. Open your lecture
Leave app.tophat.com/e/…/lecture open in a tab. From bed, the library, the bus — anywhere.
3. Questions get answered
Multiple choice, numeric, fill-in-the-blank, matching, sorting, formula and more. Usually within a few seconds of the question going live.
Pricing
10 free answers on every new account. No card.
Up to 50 answers a day. Cancel any time from the Stripe portal.
Pay as you go. Only charged for questions actually answered.
Bring your lecture hall
Every account has an invite link in the extension popup. When a friend installs with your link and joins their first lecture, you both get 10 more free answers. A 200-person intro course adds up fast.
Questions
Which question types work?
Multiple choice, Likert, numeric, short and long text, fill in the blank, matching, sorting, click-on-target and formula/chemistry. Graph-drawing questions are skipped.
Does my Google account get linked to anything?
Sign-in is used only to identify your account and count free answers. One Google account maps to one Top Hat student, permanently, which is what keeps the free tier fair.
What if an answer is uncertain?
Every response comes with a confidence score. Set your own minimum in the popup; low-confidence questions are skipped instead of guessed.
Does it need my Top Hat password?
No. It works inside the lecture tab you are already signed in to. It never sees or stores your Top Hat credentials.
Where does my data go?
Question text is sent to our server to be answered; nothing else leaves your browser. See the privacy policy.
