About

The extension uses the length of your messages and ChatGPT’s replies to estimate energy usage based on GPT-5 characteristics. The results are estimates, not guarantees, but give you a sens e of your AI footprint. It runs securely in your browser and never sends your data anywhere.

🌱 Features

- Estimates ChatGPT energy use from text length  
- Works locally: no data leaves your browser  
- Helps you understand your environmental impact

🏗️ Limitations (for now):

- Chrome only (support for other browsers coming)  
- ChatGPT only  
- Estimation accuracy is a work in progress

AI tools may be “free,” but they have real environmental costs.
