Open Source Chrome Extension for AI Communication with Google Gemini
By
Guangyi Li
Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
A developer from Beijing created an open-source Chrome extension called FreeLaunch that allows users to communicate with Google Gemini AI on any website. The extension was built primarily using Cursor AI, with 99% of the code written by AI and the developer providing direction and review. Key features include AI chat, screenshot analysis, compare mode for multiple AI models, and custom prompt templates. The developer was motivated by frustration with expensive subscription services charging $20/month for similar features.

99% of the code in this project was written by Cursor. I was mainly responsible for review and direction.
Why pay so much for something I can build myself?
I am unable to support OpenAI because I live in Beijing
