Launched this week
Got an idea for a Chrome extension? Describe it in plain English and PlugThis builds it. Real code, a real backend, ready for the Chrome Web Store. Refine it just by chatting. Connect Supabase for login and a database. Every change is saved as a version, so nothing is ever lost. When you're ready, we generate the icons, screenshots, and listing copy the store asks for. Everyone else builds web apps. We build Chrome extensions. That is the one thing we do.
Do the plugins stop working if you stop paying for the subscription? Or you just can’t modify them further?

@jasonrdunn Great question, and the answer is the good kind: your extensions keep working.
What you build is a real, standalone Chrome extension. The code is yours to download, and once it's installed or published to the store it runs on its own with no dependency on PlugThis servers. So if you stop paying, nothing you already shipped breaks.
The subscription is about building and modifying, generating new extensions and iterating on existing ones inside the tool. Pause it and your live extensions keep running exactly as they are, you just wouldn't be creating or changing more until you're back.
So it's full ownership, no kill switch. Your extension, your code, yours to keep.
@saurabh_dey1 great, thanks, that is great to hear!
I've had a few Chorme extension ideas setting in my notes because getting from an idea to working extensions always felt like too much work. i really like that you're focused on one problem instead of trying to build everything for everyone.

@tessa_lynch Thank you for appreciating exactly what we are doing. We just want to be the simplest way to build chrome extensions.
Please try out your ideas on Plugthis.ai Super excited to see your ideas to comes to life.
I've noiced there are plenty of AI tools for websites but not many focused on broswer extensions. that focus alno makes Plug this stand out to me.

@_angelinaashley Thank you, we were clear from Day 1. We ll only focus on chrome extensions. There are plenty of web app and mobile builders but none of them build proper chrome extensions.
Please take PlugThis for a spin, would love to see what you are going to build.
@nefer_ai Tested it today and it's genuinely fun to use. I expected to spend time fixing boilerplate, but it got me to a usable extension much faster than I thought. If you keep improving the generation quality, this could become a go-to tool for anyone building Chrome extensions. Congrats! 👏

@neerajkanoi Thank you, glad you found it to be useful. If there is any feature you wan to see in the app, please let us know.

@hamza_afzal_butt Thank you, the types of extension being created are wide spread from scrapers to AI powered extensions that do customer research.
But my favourite so far was an interactive digital wellness BFF someone had created that acts as your buddy reminding you to do exercise, drink water every 20 minutes.
One other thing I have observed is people re-creating extensions that already exist and adding features they want on top of them.
@nefer_ai I like that this is built specifically for Chrome extensions instead of trying to cover every kind of app. Sometimes focusing on one problem is what makes a product really instead out.

@morgan__harriss Thank you, we want to do one thing, in our case building chrome extensions and be the best in the world at it.
Please take PlugThis for a spin, would love to see what ideas you were able to make into a chrome extension.
The version history baked in is such a thoughtful touch, makes iterating with the chat feel safe instead of nerve-wracking. Glad someone finally focused on Chrome extensions instead of yet another web app builder.

@hamidesevg79879 Thank you version history was born out of pain we faced not having it :) And we wanted to be super focussed from day 1 and be the best platform to build chrome extensions.
