14 steps ~3h For builders Free

A browser productivity tool with AI can be a Chrome extension that auto-fills forms, summarizes pages, or organizes tabs based on your workflow. On aidowith.me, a 14-step route guides you through defining your tool's core function, generating the manifest.json and popup HTML with AI, writing background scripts for tab management or content extraction, and packaging the extension for Chrome Web Store submission. No prior coding experience is required. The AI writes each code block while you make decisions about features, permissions, and UI layout. Most users have a working prototype in about 3 hours and a polished version ready for personal use or team distribution within the same session. You'll ship a functional .crx file with at least 2 productivity features and a clean popup interface At the end of the 14-step route, you have a finished output ready to use or share.

The Problem and the Fix

Without a route

  • You repeat the same 5 browser tasks daily (copy data, switch tabs, reformat text) and lose 30+ minutes each time.
  • Off-the-shelf extensions don't fit your workflow, but you don't know JavaScript well enough to build your own.
  • You tried following a YouTube tutorial for Chrome extensions but got stuck on manifest v3 permissions after 45 minutes.

With aidowith.me

  • Ship a working Chrome extension tailored to your exact workflow in a single 3-hour session.
  • Get AI-generated code for every file (manifest, popup, background scripts) while you focus on feature decisions.
  • Walk away with a packaged .crx file ready for personal use or Chrome Web Store submission.

Questions

No. The route is designed for non-developers. AI generates every code file while you make decisions about what the tool should do. You'll copy, paste, and test in Chrome developer mode. If something breaks, the AI debugs it with you. Basic computer skills are all you need The route on aidowith.me is built for professionals without specialist backgrounds. Each step explains what's happening and why, so you stay in control throughout.

Common examples include tab organizers, page summarizers, auto-fill helpers, screenshot-and-annotate tools, and content scrapers for research. The route focuses on Chrome extensions with manifest v3, so anything Chrome supports is on the table. You pick the use case that saves you the most time Each section is generated based on your specific inputs, so the final output reflects your context rather than a generic template. You review and adjust as you go.

Yes. The final steps of the route cover packaging your extension and preparing store listing assets (description, screenshots, icon). You'll have a submission-ready .crx file. Chrome Web Store review typically takes 1 to 3 business days after you submit The route on aidowith.me walks you through the submission steps in sequence, so you know exactly what to prepare and in what order before you submit.
