Interesting for a founder with one specific browser workflow to improve. We recommend treating it as a prototyping aid and budgeting time for review, testing and store submission.

Concerns raised

This buyer completed a complex extension but reported incomplete changes, failed GitHub export and no reverse sync. Chrome’s built-in AI could not be tested inside the preview, requiring exported-code testing in Chrome. Their 84 iterations included new features as well as fixes.

Public reviewer report

Updated after fixes

The reviewer changed their assessment to four stars after the team fixed numerous workflow issues and returned credits lost on broken builds. They still wanted better generated interface design. The update is important: the original failures should not be presented as all still current.

Our assessment after reviewing the evidence

A useful extension-building workflow if you accept iteration and real-browser testing. Start with a small extension; generation counts are not completed products. Allow for debugging, store requirements and external service costs before choosing a high tier.

How we would evaluate it

Build a small extension with a clear success criterion, then inspect its permissions and test failure cases. Export the code and confirm you can maintain it outside the builder. Avoid buying a high tier before one prototype works end to end.
