The tool scans any webpage and flags up to five manipulative design techniques, such as:
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) (“Only 1 left!”)
Anchoring (“Original price £1,105. Current price £942”)
Hidden Costs (Drip pricing) ("Concert tickets from £20, final checkout price £37.50 after booking fees")
Upselling (“Buy a bundle”)
...and many more

Note: using the tool is completely anonymous (it does not store any of your information). This tool is still very much in early stages, with some bugs – I’d love your feedback 💙
P.S. When you install the extension, Chrome will say it “can: Read and change all your data on all websites.” This is a standard warning. In reality, the only thing accessed is the webpage’s visible text, which is sent to the AI for analysis. No personal data is ever stored.
Happy NudgeDetecting!
