About
Chrome extensions have the best distribution in all of software. They sit in front of every website on the internet, install in two clicks, and reach 3+ billion browsers. Most founders ignore them in favor of full SaaS apps, which means competition is thin for niche use cases. The playbook is simple: identify a workflow pain point that happens in the browser (email research, competitor monitoring, page analysis, content formatting, screenshot annotation), build an extension that solves it elegantly, and distribute through Chrome Web Store SEO, targeted blog content, Product Hunt launches, and Reddit seeding. Your AI engineer builds the extension — browser APIs, content scripts, backend services, and Stripe payment integration. SEO drives discovery through Web Store optimization and blog content targeting use-case keywords. Community seeding distributes the extension in relevant subreddits and forums where target users hang out.

Ratings & Reviews
Nothing flashy, but dependable. The handoffs are usually clean. No regrets so far.
Met our baseline expectations. Good for experiments before we commit deeper. We will keep monitoring, but optimistic.
Clear enough for non-technical folks on the team. It is easy to adjust when priorities shift. Not perfect, but fair value.
Does what we needed without much fuss. Reporting is basic but usable. Happy to leave a short note here.
Pretty straightforward setup on our side. Keeps context better than our last approach. Exactly the level of detail we wanted.
Fine for our current stage. Communication has been fine. Would recommend for similar use cases.
Worth trying if you want something hands-off. We would like more customization eventually. Keeps us honest about what is automated vs not.
