The AI built my paid extension in one session. Selling it is the hard part.

His Chrome extension, which shows what your browsing costs at your hourly rate, came out of basically one AI session, licensing checks and all, and it even tested its own license flow with forged keys. It is live at $8.99. Sales so far: zero. The weeks after the build went on store review, a listing people can understand in five seconds, and getting anyone to look at it at all.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Describe the extension to the AI in one session
  2. It builds the tracker, the badge, the itemized popup, the history and the export
  3. It tests its own license checks with forged keys and wrong orders, all rejected
  4. He submits it and waits through store review
  5. It goes live at $8.99
  6. No sales yet

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent even attacked its own license checks and passed. The part no agent could do was sit in the review queue and find the first buyer.
