Hi PH, cofounder of Shipper here. Very happy to announce Shipper as the 1st complete AI extension builder!!

tl;dr: Imagine if building browser extensions didn’t require knowing JavaScript, Chrome APIs, or config files. You just describe the extension you want, and it exists. That’s Shipper Extensions.

With Shipper Extensions, you can:

  • Build any browser extension you can think of

  • Recreate or customize existing extensions

  • Launch your own tools instead of paying for someone else’s

  • Customize behavior and UI as much as you want

  • Ship once and have it work across all Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Atlas, Comet, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi, etc)

We also handle the annoying parts for you: Auto-generated privacy policy, pre-written Chrome Web Store listing text, and a packaging and publishing flow that works without touching config files.

A bunch of people in our community have already been using this internally and building surprisingly real extensions, so we’re excited to finally share it publicly and see what you all build with it 😺 😺

Hey Ankit, good hunt! :) @saaswarrior

@chddaniel @chhddavid (r/SaaS mods crushing it on Product Hunt 😊). Nice to see you here!

Quick questions:

  • The landing page mentions no browser extension or extension templates. Do you have a landing page for extensions on the website?

  • I loved the demo, but trying the product prompted an upgrade without any trial credits. Is that intentional?

  • How do credits work? Each prompt is certain number of credits?

@saaswarrior  @chddaniel  @rohanrecommends Hey hey, thanks for the kind words!

To answer your questions:

  1. We've just released the feature, and there isn't a dedicated landing page just yet. Coming up!

  2. Yes, unfortunately the app has to remain paywalled because running costs would be way too high if we'd open up a free plan. We'll considering one in the future when we're bigger :)

  3. Yes, TLDR it depends on the prompt. I've got these two articles that sum everything up:

    1. What are credits?

    2. How many credits each task will cost?

@chhddavid This is a wild unlock. As someone who lives in Chrome extension land, my biggest worry is the last 20%: permissions, store review, and “it works on my machine” bugs. How do you keep generated extensions safe and reviewable - is there a clear diff / permission explanation before it ships?

@dmitry_petrakov The AI's instructed to follow all regulations, so it's all taken care of by default :)

Congrats on the launch! I'm a bit confused by the homepage, I don't see much of a focus on browser extensions there. Is that something new you're exploring? I think the browser extensions play is compelling, since there's no real deployment process. Extensions could just immediately be installed and available/useful to the end user. Would it be a "one install -> many extensions" approach or does the user have to install multiple extensions?

@wilco_kruijer1 Hey, thank you! Extensions are new, we haven't designed our home page around them yet. This is a new feature as part of the AI app builder (see previous launches).

Congratulations to the makers on the launch! Turning plain-English prompts into fully functional Chrome Extensions — from design and code to privacy policy and Chrome Web Store listing — is a powerful idea.

Best wishes for a successful launch and wide adoption. 😍

@saaswarrior Cheers Ankit, we're very happy to have you here :)

And then, what happens? 1. What do I do by creating an extension? 2. Tons of AI coding agents can do this better.

@rahijamil Hey, thanks for showing interest!

  1. Hmm, not sure I got the question right, so let me know if this doesn't answer right - you create an extension by sending a prompt to the AI, and you then use as you wish. That's the fun part, it's up to you how you use it :)

  2. Have you tired Shipper yet? I'm sure you'll enjoy how well Shipper handles extensions - we believe we're the first AI app builder dedicated and optimized for extensions in the full sense of the word

Happy to clarify anything else!

Daniele Packard

Very cool - I like the idea of more targetted/focused ai app builders - can you share some chrome extensions built using this?

Ch David

@daniele_packard Hey hey! The feature was just released days ago, we're still collecting a few extensions to create a "hub" of templates, or examples if you may.

Curious Kitty
What was the exact moment or workflow where you felt “building an extension shouldn’t require becoming an extension developer,” and what evidence convinced you this wasn’t just your pain (e.g., how many attempts, conversations, or failed builds did you see before committing)?
Ch David
Maker

@curiouskitty We already solved building apps from simple prompts, and we thought "What's the next level?" - that's how extensions came to mind.

Ramit Koul

Great product to build chrome extensions easily. Congrats on the launch!

@ramitkoul Thank you Ramit!!

I see it's built with Claude Code and OpenAI. For developers who want to iterate on generated extensions with more granular control, is there a way to export the source code and continue development in tools like Claude Code or Cursor?

Ch David
Maker

@yamamoto7 Yes, you can export both front-end and back-end in 1 click.

yama

Thanks for confirming! One-click export is really convenient for iteration workflows.

Most AI builders promise “no-code,” but still leave non-technical founders stuck translating ideas into logic.

What stood out with Shipper is the Advisor, it doesn’t just build, it thinks with you. That’s huge for founders who don’t want to become accidental engineers

This feels less like a tool and more like having a technical co-founder that doesn’t sleep

@erica_ogbebor Thank you!

This product lowers the barrier to Chrome extension development, enabling non‑technical users to quickly bring their ideas to life—ideal for rapid prototyping. However, the generated code structure, security, and compliance (e.g., whether privacy policies actually meet data regulations) require careful review. It may be best suited for one‑off projects or internal tools. For complex features or extensions requiring long‑term maintenance, professional developer input is still needed. If the platform could also offer code readability improvements and basic security scanning, its practical value would be even greater.
