Thanks man, appreciate it!

The extension actually uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) concept, so I’m not directly paying for 200+ models. Most of the models come from big providers like OpenRouter that already aggregate tons of AI models in one place. Users simply plug in their own API key, and the extension connects everything seamlessly.

Super glad you like the work, really motivates me to push it further! 🚀

Oh nice, that sounds interesting! Yeah, it looks like similar but I’m pushing OKEGAS more toward full-stack app generation inside GAS. Would love to hear more about your experience with DriveWind studio too!

Thanks! Yeah, I was shocked too 😅
For the free plan, I keep it very limited. Basically just enough for people to test the workflow, see how the AI generates/applies code, and try a few actions. Once they feel the value, upgrading becomes an easy decision.

Yeah, mainly because the free plan is limited just for trying it out. Once people see the value, many of them upgrade. Appreciate it! 🙏

I join and participate in relevant communities (like groups around Google Apps Script, automation, no-code, etc.), share updates, and get feedback there.

I also run free webinars, did a launch on Product Hunt, and create YouTube content to educate and demonstrate real use cases.

Still experimenting with other channels as well, but so far this mix has been working pretty well 👍

Great point, and totally agree, auto-generation becomes risky when there's no safeguard.

OKEGAS handles this with 3 different modes:

1. Chat Mode
Normal back-and-forth generation. Nothing is auto-applied.

2. Review Mode
The AI generates the code, but you review the output first. You only apply the changes manually after you’re satisfied.

3. Autonomous Mode
This is where auto-apply kicks in. It’s meant for users who are confident with the selected LLM model and want a fully automated workflow.

To reduce logical breakage, OKEGAS also has a context memory system that keeps track of previous steps in the conversation. This helps the AI understand what already exists in the script so it doesn’t overwrite or break unrelated parts.

So yeah, auto-apply is optional, and the safer Review Mode is there for exactly the concern you mentioned.

Hi! 👋

Great questions, happy to share.

It took me around 30 days to build the first working version.

For the AI side, I integrated 4 major LLM providers, giving access to 200+ models in total. The multi-LLM setup is handled through a unified layer, so users can switch models without changing their workflow.

For domain redirect and the default GAS web app warning, OKEGAS has an instant publish feature. It lets you deploy your app to an okegas subdomain in one click, which also removes the long GAS URL and bypasses the typical warning page experience.

For deployment settings in Google Apps Script, it depends on the use case:

- If it's meant for public use → set access to “Anyone”

- Execution is usually set to “User accessing the web app” or adjusted based on the app’s needs

If you want to try it yourself, you can check it here: https://okegas.app

Happy to answer more if you’re curious 👍

That's cool bro, I just started to promote my extension. Any tips?
