Yar

About

Yar helps you spot when AI chatbots are being too agreeable — like when they say “You’re absolutely right!” (or as we say, Yar) instead of giving you honest feedback. 

HOW IT WORKS
Yar silently analyzes every AI response using 23 language features grounded in sycophancy research. Each response gets a 10-point “Yar rating” on a 5-band scale:

• Balanced — Honest, balanced response
• Mostly balanced — Minor agreement patterns
• Agreeable — More agreeable than expected
• Very agreeable — Likely telling you what you want to hear
• Sycophantic — Almost certainly telling you what you want to hear

When responses score high, Yar explains why in plain language (“spent most of the response finding silver linings rather than being direct”) and suggests counter-prompts you can click to paste directly into the chat.

For multi-turn conversations (2+ messages), Yar tracks patterns across turns and shows a conversation-level rating in the header.
