What this does, in plain English

The Chrome Web Store has tens of thousands of free extensions made by **one or two people** in their spare time. Most of them have **stopped updating**, but the extensions are still installed and used by **tens of thousands of people every day**.

These are real, ownable assets. Quietly profitable. Sitting unsold.

This skill finds them, gets the developer's email, calculates a deliberately low offer, and sends a polite acquisition email — so you can **buy** a real piece of software from someone who'd be happy to take $1,000 for something they haven't touched in a year.

It takes **one command**.


How it works

![How it works](assets/flow.png)

  1. You type a niche — productivity, screenshot recorder, ai writing, anything.
  2. The skill searches the Chrome Web Store for that niche.
  3. It throws away every extension with fewer than 10,000 users.
  4. It pulls the developer's email address for every survivor.
  5. It works out a lowball offer based on how big the extension is.
  6. It writes everyone into a Google Sheet so you can track what happens next.
  7. It sends each developer a personalized email with your offer — through your own Gmail.

You get a sheet full of qualified acquisition leads and an inbox primed for replies.


The real flow, from start to finish
