An Extension That Is a Dead Shell or ?

[Kanoa Lee]

Hi,

Let me be clear: Are there actually any free AIs available with this extension, or is it purely a "Bring Your Own API" setup? 

Looking at the suggested GitHub links, the "free" options are a minefield. Either the provider is harvesting user prompts to "better their systems" (a polite term for theft without credit), or the "free" tier is actually just a predatory onboarding funnel where "free credits" vanish the moment you hit 'Generate.'

It is a tragedy to see a UI this good wasted on a business-first philosophy. 

Most extensions today are designed for the corporate machine—integrating the same old Google, Notion, and Figma ecosystems that treat the user as a product, not a client. 

**Here is the solution: Design for the Superuser.**

Stop focusing on corporate synergy and start focusing on real-world utility. Give us a "User-First" architecture:

Customizable Workflow Integration:

Let us map the extension to our actual real-world functions, not just a handful of pre-approved SaaS platforms.

A True Prompt Library:

Not just a save button, but a fully customizable workspace with URL placeholders, auto-fetch capabilities, and the ability to auto-send outputs to signed-in local storage.

Transparent Error Logging: 

Stop giving me "400" errors. Tell me *why* it failed. "Failed due to paywall" or "Payload too large—try this solution instead." 

The current AI landscape is a corporate cash cow. 

We’re told these tools are "assistants," but they’ve become "agents" for their owners, not for us. They use our intelligence to train their models, then sell that same intelligence back to us at a premium, all while claiming ownership of our workspaces and stripping our privacy.

I’ve spent three years diving into AI newsletters and testing every model on the market. 99% of them are focusing on the wrong subject. The subject isn't the AI; it's the human. The digital world is becoming a mirror of the physical one: a series of paywalls and manipulative data-harvesting traps.

I’m providing this context because I actually care about where this extension goes. You can either build another hyper-made shell designed for corporate control, or you can build something that actually empowers the person using it.

I stand by these findings. I’m curious to see if you’re a human who sees the same patterns, or just another bot deployed to maintain the status quo.

I expect a real response.

Thank you
