Track the hidden environmental impact of your AI usage in real time. Every AI prompt has a hidden price tag not in dollars, but in watts, water, and carbon. My AI Impact is a privacy-first browser extension that makes the invisible environmental footprint of AI tools like ChatGPT. What it tracks: ⚡ Energy - Estimates watt-hours (Wh) consumed per AI interaction based on token usage 💧 Water - Shows milliliters of freshwater used to cool the data centers powering your requests ☁️ Carbon - Calculates your CO₂ equivalent footprint in real time How it works: - My AI Impact uses token-count estimation to calculate environmental impact meaning it never reads, stores, or transmits the actual content of your conversations. Your prompts stay completely private. Always. - A live dashboard tracks your daily, weekly, and all-time AI footprint so you can see how your habits add up over time. Why this matters: - Training a single large AI model can emit as much carbon as five cars over their entire lifetimes. But inference the everyday use of AI is the growing, invisible part of the problem. Millions of prompts, every second, around the world. -My AI Impact doesn't ask you to stop using AI. It asks you to use it with awareness. Built for: ✔ Students and researchers using AI daily ✔ Developers and engineers building with LLMs ✔ Sustainability conscious professionals ✔ Anyone curious about the physical cost of digital AI Note: All values are scientifically grounded estimates based on published research and industry averages. Intended for awareness and educational purposes.
