Build Your Dream Extensions with AI
WorkshopFree
In this interactive workshop, you’ll build a working internal browser extension you and your team can use to share context across apps you use daily. We’ll start with a practical, real-world example: a web clipper that you’ll customize to send content from GitHub to your team’s communication tool (Slack, Discord, or Teams). You’ll learn how to generate extensions with natural language, modify forms and logic, connect to apps like Slack and GitHub, and deploy what you build to your team. By the end, you’ll have a functioning automation running in your browser and the skills to create more.
This workshop is ideal for developers and tech leads who want to quickly build and deploy secure, internal extensions without writing full browser extensions and handling infrastructure.
