We’re making more tools to help with the hard parts of claiming. ## How OPA helps you claim 1. 1 Add OPA to Chrome It takes about a minute. OPA shows a short welcome page with how to pin its button. 2. 2 Open the official form Go to the form on the government site, then press the OPA button. Or press Alt, Shift and O together. 3. 3 Answer one question at a time OPA explains each question in plain words. Type your answer or say it out loud. OPA reads it back, and fills it in only when you say yes. 4. 4 Check it, then you send it Before anything is sent, OPA shows you every answer on the page. You decide when to press Submit. Why OPA exists ## It started with a $100 fuel payment. Western Australia’s $100 Fuel Support Payment was there to claim. In early October 2026, the figures we had showed over a million Western Australians still hadn’t claimed it. Older people said they gave up because the form was too confusing. Griffin Hudson, who makes unclaimd, built OPA in LaunchLAB AI, a 10-week program in Perth for new AI startups, run by AITAI with Bloom. “Opa” is Dutch for grandpa. He made it for people like his own grandpa, who found it harder to keep up as more things moved online. People like him deserve to keep doing things for themselves. “A confusing form shouldn’t cost someone $100. Or their confidence.” He showed OPA at the LaunchLAB AI Showcase. It has grown since then into the helper on this page, for any form. ## What OPA does - Reads the form for you, like a screen reader does, and lists its questions. - Explains words like “concession card” or “CRN” in plain English. - Lets you type or talk. Voice runs on your computer, and you can slow it down. - Fills in an answer only after you check it. - Stops and asks before anything that submits, sends, pays or agrees. - Works with a keyboard only, and with screen readers. ## What stays on your computer Your answers stay on your computer. OPA holds them only while you use it, and clears them when you finish, close the tab or leave it for 15 minutes. Nothing you type or say is sent to us or to any online AI. Voice, listening and smart help run on your computer too. The first time you turn one on, OPA downloads its open model files from Hugging Face (huggingface.co), and checks each file before using it. Hugging Face sees your internet address, like any website, but never your words or answers. OPA keeps a list of what it did, such as the names of the boxes it filled, never your answers. On a shared computer, turn on “This is a shared computer” in OPA’s settings and it keeps nothing. [Read the privacy notice](https://unclaimd.org/privacy/) ## What OPA never does - Read or fill in passwords, bank or card details, or tax file, Medicare, licence or passport numbers. You type those yourself, and OPA shows you where. - Solve “I’m not a robot” checks, or choose files for you. - Press Submit without your yes. - Send your answers to us or to any online AI. ## Where we’ve tested it We built practice copies of these forms and ran OPA through them with 1,800 made-up people, each talking their own way: rushed, unsure, with typos, with a strong accent, or changing their mind. - [Fuel Support Payment](https://unclaimd.org/support/wa-fuel-support/) WA - [KidSport](https://unclaimd.org/support/wa-kidsport/) WA - [Active and Creative Kids voucher](https://unclaimd.org/support/nsw-active-creative/) NSW - [Play On!
