AI product readBridge/connector extension enabling communication between PSI's Atlas Cloud web-based testing platform and a local native messaging host application for in-application exam delivery
Enables PSI's browser-based test delivery platform to launch and communicate with local desktop applications during proctored or in-application exams (e.g., testing skills in actual software like Microsoft Office, coding IDEs, etc.)
User logs into PSI's Atlas Cloud platform → starts an in-application test → the web page connects to this extension via chrome.runtime.connectExternal → extension launches a native messaging broker (32-bit or 64-bit) → extension relays commands between the web platform and the native broker → native broker launches the required local application for the exam → test is delivered and results flow back through the chain
Relays messages between PSI web platform and native broker application via Chrome native messagingSupports both 32-bit and 64-bit native broker processesHandles broker lifecycle management (start, terminate, error recovery)Provides version reporting to the web platformBuffers pending messages during connection transitions
- Target users
- Test-takers using PSI's Atlas Cloud exam platform / Candidates taking professional certification or skills assessments / Users of PSI-affiliated testing services (enlightks.com, skillsbox.com, psiexams.com)
- Extension is very small (3 text files, ~196 lines of JS) with minimal surface area to analyze
- No UI code exists - extension is purely a background service worker bridge
- Cannot verify the native messaging host (com.psionline.lwc.broker32/64) behavior from extension code alone
MonetizationNo paid features detected
The extension contains zero billing, subscription, payment, premium gating, or upgrade code. It is a free bridge utility. The PSI testing platform itself is a paid service for organizations, but the extension itself does not gate any features behind payment. All extension functionality is available to any user who has the extension installed.

- Reason
- The extension itself has no login UI or authentication code, but it is a bridge/connector that only functions when the user is on PSI's Atlas Cloud testing platform (psionline.com, psiexams.com, enlightks.com, etc.). Users must be logged into the PSI testing platform to take exams. The extension communicates via chrome.runtime.onConnectExternal with these authorized domains, meaning the user must already be on the platform (and thus authenticated there) to use the extension.
Doesn't install properly. Keeps claiming it needs more permissions. It can't get any more permissions.
it literally doesnt work
uh guys hear me out yeah the extension sucks it cant do its job but just DOWNLOAD the psi plugin then it works
Why won't the extention work? I have uninsalled, reinstalled, restarted everything over and over. What a complete waste of time all this has taken. All I want is to sit my exam. There is not even a contact/help section to try and figure out what is wrong. Why are systems like this holding people to ransom. I have studied and done the work but I cannot sit the exam because of this.
worst thing ever
worse than the time my bus full of sinners hit someone
It's worse than that time I got hit by a bus full of sinners
