Track the Hidden Water Footprint of Your AI Usage

Ever wondered about the environmental impact of your AI interactions? DropSense is an educational browser extension that reveals the estimated water usage behind your favorite AI services.

What DropSense Does:

DropSense monitors your interactions with popular AI models, providing real-time estimates of water consumption. The extension visualizes this data through an intuitive dashboard with charts, comparisons, and insights.

Key Features:

• Real-time Water Usage Tracking: See how much water is estimated to be used with each AI conversation
• Beautiful Visualizations: Interactive charts and graphs show your usage patterns over time
• Service Breakdown: Compare water usage across different AI platforms
• Practical Comparisons: Understand your AI water footprint through everyday equivalents like water bottles, shower minutes, and toilet flushes
• Zero Data Collection: All data stays on your device - we never collect, transmit, or store any of your information

How It Works:

DropSense operates entirely on your device, monitoring when you interact with supported AI services. It estimates water usage based on research about data center cooling requirements and electricity generation for AI operations. These estimates are for educational purposes only and represent approximations based on available research.

Privacy First:

Your privacy is our absolute priority. DropSense:
- Stores all data locally on your device
- Never transmits your interactions or usage data anywhere
- Doesn't track your browsing history
- Doesn't record your AI conversations
- Operates completely offline after installation

Educational Purpose:

The water usage estimates are provided for awareness and educational purposes. They're based on research about AI infrastructure's water requirements, including both direct cooling systems and indirect consumption through electricity generation.

Why Water Matters:

As AI usage grows exponentially, its resource demands do too. Water is a critical and often overlooked resource used in data centers for cooling and in generating the electricity that powers AI systems. Understanding this impact helps us make more informed decisions about our digital footprint.

DropSense is an educational tool. The water usage values are estimates based on research and publicly available information about data center water consumption and should not be considered precise measurements.
