DEAL: AI assistant for LinkedIn
DEAL helped people work with LinkedIn right inside LinkedIn, as a Chrome extension. I built the extension on CRXJS. This is a Ptolemay studio project.
What I built
A Chrome extension on CRXJS, a Vite plugin for extensions. You develop the extension like a normal front-end app, with the Vite dev server and hot reload, and build it for the Chrome Web Store.
Architecture
The DEAL interface is embedded in LinkedIn pages, and those can change at any time. So the UI lives next to the page and doesn’t break anything on it. According to the store listing, most of the analysis ran locally in the browser, and the rest on servers in the EU.
Outcome
The extension was released on the Chrome Web Store with a free plan. The project is closed now, but the store page is still up.
Results
Released on the Chrome Web StoreAI helper inside LinkedIn
