Hi everyone, we're Jan and Antoni, the creators of use less AI. Recently, we noticed ourselves reaching for AI before even attempting to solve problems. We did not just use AI for difficult problems but for things we could have figure out ourselves if we had given it just a little more thought. We were getting worried about our future and asked ourselves what would happen if AI just didn't exist tomorrow. Could we do the same tasks without AI? So we came to the conclusion to build use less AI, a macOS app that adds a moment of reflection before using AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude. Instead of blocking AI apps entirely, use less AI encourages a more internal use and asks users to think about what they've already tried before prompting. With our usage analytics dashboard, use less AI locally tracks how much you are using AI and how often you actually do not need it. This is great for you getting insights into your usual AI usage. We are not anti-AI, we use it ourselves everyday. But we believe that there is a difference in using AI to support thinking and using AI to replace thinking. use less AI is available for free for macOS at our website: https://use-less-ai.com This is our first public release and we'd love your feedback: - Have you ever felt yourself becoming overly reliant on AI? - Where do you think the line is between helpful assistance and over dependence? - What features would you like to see us develop in a tool like this? Thanks for checking out our small little tool.
