Superpower for Gemini
Chrome extension for Google Gemini — folders, message queue
Big milestone this week: it's been one month since I launched monetization for Superpower for Gemini. Total revenue is now past $2,000 and MRR crossed $200. Both numbers are moving in the right direction.
The headline from this week though: Superpower for NotebookLM hit $200 in revenue with only around 100 users. The conversion rate is high but it makes sense. The first people to find it came from Reddit, where NotebookLM power users actively hang out. They see the extension, they immediately get the value, they install it. That's a very different crowd from a casual CWS browser stumbling across it.
Superpower for Claude is still at $0 revenue, that one needs a proper promotion push before the monetization can kick in. It's next on the list.
Most of my time this week went into the other two extensions.
Still waiting to hear back on the CWS featuring application and the influencer outreach. Patience.
What it does: Superpower for Gemini adds the power-user features Google never built: native chat folders, a smart message queue (send your next prompt while Gemini is still generating), bulk export to PDF/DOCX/TXT, a prompt library, slash commands, folders, a daily limit counter and more.
Did some Reddit promotion today. Still the most reliable thing I've found for driving installs directly.
The rest of the day went into my two other extensions: Superpower for Claude and Superpower for NotebookLM, both live on the Chrome Web Store. Same philosophy as Superpower for Gemini, adding the power-user features that Google and Anthropic didn't build. The goal is eventually a full suite covering the major AI platforms people actually use daily.
Slower day overall but the kind of work that compounds.

Not a dramatic day but a productive one.
Reached out to more influencers in the AI/Gemini space — building up the outreach list gradually. It's a numbers game at this stage. No responses yet but the CWS featuring application is now officially submitted, so that's out of my hands for now.
A few more sales came in. Nothing that changes the trajectory today but the MRR line is moving in the right direction.
Honestly the waiting is the hardest part right now — influencer outreach, the featuring application, even the journalist pitch I sent out last week. A lot of seeds planted, none of them have sprouted yet. That's just how early distribution works I think.
Focusing on what I can control in the meantime.

I’ve been following your updates on Superpower for Gemini—it’s clear you’re solving exactly what’s missing in the native Gemini experience. Since you’re currently in that "waiting for seeds to sprout" phase with influencer outreach and the CWS application, would you be interested in discussing more proactive ways to scale your distribution in the meantime?
Two things happened today:
First, I reached out to multiple influencers in the Gemini/AI tools space. No results yet obviously,just planted the seeds. If even one of them mentions it organically that could move the needle more than anything else I can do right now.
Second, the latest update went live today which means I can now officially apply for the Chrome Web Store Featured badge. The Featured badge is essentially free distribution, Google surfaces featured extensions more prominently in search and category pages, so it's worth pursuing even if it's a long shot and outside my control.
Nothing dramatic to report on the numbers, MRR is ticking up slowly but steadily.
Would love to hear from anyone who's gone through the CWS featuring process. What did they actually look for?

The Featured badge is one of the few levers in CWS that actually compounds once you're in, discovery feeds itself. From what I've seen, Google looks at a few things: consistent update cadence (you're already doing that), clean permissions (minimal host permissions, clear privacy policy), and user reviews/ratings quality over quantity. The fact you just shipped a polished update before applying is smart timing. One thing worth checking: make sure your privacy practices tab in the CWS dashboard is 100% filled out incomplete disclosures are an easy auto-reject reason.

Great idea!
Quick update on Superpower for Gemini since yesterday.
A handful more sales came in overnight — nothing dramatic, but MRR is ticking up steadily.
I also just pushed an update today — mainly behind-the-scenes stuff: rewrote the upgrade justifications inside the extension and overhauled the Chrome Web Store description. Not the flashiest update but the kind of polish that matters for conversion and first impressions.
What I'm focused on this week beyond that is distribution — specifically getting the extension in front of people who write about tools like this. A CWS featuring would change the trajectory completely, so that's where most of my energy is going.
One thing I've been thinking about: the hardest part of building a Chrome extension isn't the code. It's that the Chrome Web Store is basically a black box for discovery. You ship something genuinely useful and then have to find your users manually. Would love to hear from anyone who's cracked CWS distribution.

Still happy to answer questions from yesterday's post too.

This is a smart direction. Gemini is powerful, but the default workflow still feels messy once you use it seriously across multiple projects.
The folders, prompt library, queue, and export features make sense because the real problem is not only “better AI,” it’s managing the work around AI.
I’m seeing a similar thing with Vynly, but on the visual side. AI image tools are getting stronger fast, but the output gets scattered everywhere with no clean home for discovery or feedback. Tools like yours improve the creation workflow. I’m trying to understand what the “after creation” layer should look like for AI-generated images.

CWS distribution is a black box — agreed. One angle that might work: target the subreddits where Gemini power users hang (r/GeminiAI, r/ChatGPT). Not polished reviews, just genuinely useful threads where someone asks 'how do I organize my chats?' Your extension answers that cold. No CWS featuring needed if Reddit picks it up.

This is exactly what worked for me actually. Got around 1,800 users in the first two weeks almost entirely from Reddit. r/GeminiAI and a few other Gemini related subs were the core of it. That early momentum is what pushed the organic CWS installs later. Fully agree on the approach.

The CWS black box problem is real and underappreciated. The founders I've seen crack it tend to do one of two things either get a single high-traffic creator in the Gemini/AI tools space to mention it organically, or find the subreddits and Discord servers where power Gemini users already gather and show up there before pitching anything. The featuring is worth pursuing but it's a long shot and outside your control. The community angle compounds faster and you own it. The message queue feature is the one that would make me install it the friction of waiting for a response before sending the next thought is genuinely annoying. Is that the feature driving most of your sales so far?

Good points all around. The CWS featuring is basically free to pursue so it's worth the shot even if it's a long shot. Discord I tried but never got much traction there, Reddit was where it actually clicked for me.
Interesting on the message queue, from what I can tell folders are actually the bigger driver.

Hey hackers, I want to talk about a problem that's been bugging me for months: Google Gemini is genuinely powerful, but the interface treats you like a casual user even if you live in it all day.
No folders. No way to queue messages while it's generating. No bulk export. A sidebar full of "Untitled Chat" conversations you can never find again. I got frustrated enough to build the solution myself.
I'm 16, from the Czech Republic, and I launched it in December after months of building, and only added monetization recently. The result is Superpower for Gemini — it adds a native folder system, a smart message queue (queue multiple prompts while Gemini is still generating), bulk export to PDF/DOCX/TXT, a prompt library, and a daily limit counter for Thinking/Pro models that Google hides from you completely.
The numbers so far, under one month since launching monetization:
6,000 users
$1,750 revenue
$170 MRR
Freemium model: free tier + $7.99/mo, $59.99/yr, $99 lifetime
The feature I'm most proud of is the Message Queue. It sounds simple but it completely changes how you work — you stop babysitting the AI and start actually getting things done.
I'd love feedback on:
What would make you upgrade from free to paid on a tool like this?
Is lifetime pricing at $99 leaving money on the table long-term?

This is awesome, I find this very helpful. How did you market this product?

Thanks! Honestly, mostly Reddit. Posting in Gemini subreddits. That drove the initial wave of installs. Everything since then has been pretty much organic through the Chrome Web Store. No paid ads, no big launch moment. Reddit + a decent CWS listing did most of the work.

Got it! Pretty cool. Wondering if I should try the same for my product, GatherrGo.

Are you a full time developer or this is a side hustle for you?
Crossing $200 MRR while running three extensions in parallel is a solid signal — and the NotebookLM conversion rate making sense because Reddit power users self-select into the niche is a really sharp observation. Curious how you're thinking about the Claude one: do you wait for an organic Reddit beachhead like NotebookLM had, or push paid/influencer first since the Claude power-user community is more spread out (Discord, X, IH itself)? Either way, rooting for the CWS featuring decision.
Nice progress. What‘s been the most unexpected lesson from these 9 days?
