Hands-on Workshop & Buildathon: Ship Your First Chrome Extension with AI Tools
Some of the most successful products today started small… as simple Chrome extensions.
Grammarly, Honey, Loom, Notion Web Clipper, all began as lightweight tools solving one clear problem.
They didn’t start big. They started useful.
And that’s exactly what this session is about.
What we’re doing in this session
This is a hands-on workshop + buildathon where you’ll go from idea to a live Chrome extension in 3.5 hours without heavy coding.
You won’t just learn.
You’ll actually build and ship something real.
During the session, you’ll build:
👉 A minimal bookmark manager that turns your new tab into a curated feed of meaningful content, helping you rediscover saved knowledge instead of endless scrolling.
