Circle-to-Agent Feedback

Circle an issue on a web page and turn it into a coding-agent prompt, skipping screenshots and doc translation.

Problem

A Show HN author notes that once teams use AI coding agents, the bottleneck moves to team feedback: marketers and sales screenshot pages and write notes in Google Docs, then developers translate them into prompts. The relay is slow and lossy, and non-technical feedback rarely reaches the coding agent directly.

Solution

Build a browser extension where anyone circles an element or region and types one sentence. The extension captures DOM, CSS, a screenshot, and context, then generates a structured prompt and pushes it to coding agents like Claude Code or Codex to fix the corresponding code.

Users

Small product teams using AI coding agents, especially those where marketing, sales, or design colleagues need to give feedback.

MVP

Ship only a Chrome extension: circle page elements, type text, auto-generate a context-rich prompt; support copy-to-clipboard or webhook push to one agent; no code location or auto-fix.

Revenue

Per-seat subscription at $5–10 per user per month for teams; offer a free single-user tier and monetize team upgrades.

Why now

Coding agents speed up development while feedback still relies on screenshots and docs, creating a new collaboration bottleneck. A browser extension plus prompt generation is a shippable wedge for an indie developer in weeks.
