EcoPrompt

Make your ChatGPT prompts more environmentally friendly by optimizing token usage

🌱 EcoPrompt – Token Saver Write smarter. Save tokens. Cut CO₂. EcoPrompt is a Chrome extension that streamlines verbose ChatGPT prompts to their most concise form — saving tokens, speeding up responses, and promoting digital sustainability by showing estimated carbon savings with every optimized prompt. 💡 What It Does EcoPrompt detects overly wordy prompts in ChatGPT and rewrites them automatically using a curated set of more efficient phrases. You get the same message across — just shorter, smarter, and lighter on computational energy use. For every prompt you send, EcoPrompt estimates: 🔢 Tokens Saved 🌍 Milligrams of CO₂ Emissions Avoided 🧠 How It Works You write your prompt in ChatGPT as usual. You click the “🌱” toggle button in the prompt bar. This toggle activates Eco Mode and rewrites the prompt using pre-defined token-saving replacements.

Everything happens instantly in-browser — no servers, no logging, no privacy risk. 🧩 User Interface & Experience 🟢 Toggle Button (🌱 icon) A small, draggable plant-stem emoji appears on the right side of the ChatGPT prompt bar.
