We started as a Chrome extension… but ended up building something bigger

We originally built hk3k as a Chrome extension.

The idea was simple.. whenever we were browsing or researching something useful, it would get lost right after. So the extension was meant to just capture things from Chrome and save them somewhere useful. But once we actually started using it, we ran into something else.

The problem wasn’t just the browser.

It was everything:
Chrome, Notion, ChatGPT, notes… all holding different pieces of context that never really connect.

So the extension started feeling too limited for what we were actually trying to solve. We ended up shifting hk3k from a Chrome extension into a full app. Not because the extension didn’t work but because the problem was bigger than “save this page”. Now the extension is just one entry point into a system that connects browsing, notes, and AI context together.

We’re still early and actively changing things based on how we use it ourselves.

Just sharing this here in case others are building in the same space and would genuinely appreciate feedback.

If anyone wants to try it or give feedback:

We just launched an AI workspace and now figuring out real usage

We built hk3k - an AI workspace that brings conversations, notes, tasks, files, and websites into one place.

It’s already live and working, and right now we’re looking for real users to try it in day-to-day use.

At this stage, it’s less about building new features and more about understanding:

  • how people actually use it
  • where it feels useful
  • where it still feels off or unnecessary

We’re using it ourselves, but we want to see how it behaves outside our own workflow.

If anyone here likes testing early tools or AI workflows, would love feedback.

Happy to share access or answer questions.
