My AI Impact von Strancer

My AI Impact is an awareness-first browser extension that helps you understand the environmental footprint of your interactions with AI tools like ChatGPT.

Every prompt you send to an AI model consumes energy, uses water for data center cooling, and contributes to carbon emissions. While this impact is invisible to users, it is very real. My AI Impact makes this hidden cost visible, so you can use AI more consciously.

🌍 What It Does:
⚡ Estimates Energy Consumption: Calculates the approximate watt-hours (Wh) used per AI interaction.
💧 Tracks Water Usage: Shows the estimated amount of freshwater (ml) consumed to cool the datacenters handling your requests.
☁️ Calculates Carbon Emissions (CO₂): Displays your environmental impact in terms of your carbon footprint (gCO₂).
🔒 Privacy-Preserving Analysis: Uses strictly token-based estimation. We never read, collect, or store the actual content of your conversations.
📈 Real-Time Dashboard: Instantly tracks and visualizes your daily, weekly, and all-time environmental impact as you use AI tools.
🌱 Why It Matters:
Artificial Intelligence is incredibly powerful, but it comes with environmental costs that most users never see. My AI Impact is built to create awareness, not fear.

By making the invisible visible, this extension helps you:

Build responsible and conscious AI usage habits.
Understand the scale of AI resource consumption.
Be part of a more sustainable tech future.

👥 Who Is This For?

Students and researchers using AI daily.
Developers and engineers working with LLMs.
Eco-conscious users who care about sustainability.
Anyone curious about the physical cost of digital AI.

Note: All environmental impact values are estimates based on our research work and industry averages. They are intended for awareness and educational purposes.
