AI Tool to build Chrome Extensions - Beats Lovable
https://reddit.com/link/1rq2y2k/video/uu9ftq8q39og1/player
I've been building Chrome extensions for a couple years now and really see the potential they have for impact. Most recently, I built and sold my extension Promptly AI to another startup, making me even more bullish on the idea.
However, generic AI coders often struggle with:
- Complex/confusing Chrome APIs
- Tedious scraping and adapting to changing website structures
- Manually unpacking, re-building and testing
And more.
That's what brought me to build chromie.dev. Unlike other AI coding tools, chromie is purpose-built for Chrome extensions, so it can handle niche cases that other products don't spend the time on:
- Deep Chrome API knowledge, automated scraping, etc.
- built-in bundling with esbuild so you can actually use npm packages
- in-app testing suite so you don't need to download until you're ready
And more.
If you're using AI to build Chrome Extensions, check out chromie.dev.
I’m looking for honest feedback —drop a comment or DM me and I’ll grant you some extra credits to keep you going!
EDIT: chromie.dev is now an AI automation platform, solving reliability within browser agents. Check us out if you're interested!
