Estimate the energy and water footprint of your AI usage
Image from store
Description from store
The extension uses the length of your messages and ChatGPT’s replies to estimate energy usage based on GPT-4o’s characteristics. The results are estimates—not guarantees—but give you a sense 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.

- (2025-08-01) thibault desjardins: Very slick, it even looks like its a native feature of ChatGPT ! To be honest it should be mandatory to have a feature like that on all AI
- (2025-05-21) Kef Iras: Great extension, clear info, smooth design - banger!
- (2025-04-17) Adrien BUFFARD: Excellent! Will use it always! People should be aware of the harm (despite the benefits) a non-wise usage of AI can do.
- (2025-04-16) Justas Sadauskas: Very easy to use, non-intrusive design to my daily workflows. Very thought-provoking, makes you wonder if that AI prompt about "If I were a Potato - what kind of potato would I be" is actually worth asking, considering how much processing power it costs to spit out the answer.
- (2025-04-16) Antanas Bernatonis: Awesome tool to keep track on your daily energy impact when using AI tools!
