The Story
About the Project
I wanted to access Google AI Mode programmatically. Couldn’t. So I built a browser extension and a relay server that turns it into an API.
Tried it. Worked. Figured others might find it useful too.
That’s it. That’s the whole story.
The Money Talk
This thing is free. But running it isn’t.
Servers cost money. Hosting costs money. Domain costs money. My mass-produced instant noodles cost money.
I’m not putting random ads on this. I’m not selling your data. I’m not doing any of that stuff.
But if you find this useful and want to help keep it alive, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

The Questions
How much of this was vibe coded?
About 20% on the extension side — and that 20% was mostly boilerplate. The stuff that’s already been tested and figured out a thousand times. The actual extraction logic, connection handling, routing — all manually written. The vibe coded part was basically having AI do the typing work so I didn’t have to. Server side? Fully manual, fully tested.
Have you heard about the Google vs SerpAPI lawsuit?
Yep. That’s different though. SerpAPI scrapes Google’s servers directly at scale. This runs in your browser, using your session, through an extension you installed. You’re just making your own browser programmable. Still — use at your own caution.
Will this disappear in a month?
Nope. I’m planning to keep this running and eventually open source the server code. This isn’t a weekend hack I’ll abandon.

Who’s Behind This
Just some guy on the internet who likes building weird useful stuff.
Want the full picture? I post about low-budget infra, data extraction, AI hacks, and the occasional indie fail. Give me a follow if that sounds like your kind of thing.
