About OffPeak AI
OffPeak AI helps reduce the carbon footprint of your AI chatbot usage by using real-time electricity grid data to detect when demand — and carbon intensity — is highest.
When you visit ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity during a high-demand period on your local electricity grid, OffPeak AI gently lets you know and gives you three choices:
- Continue anyway (with a quick reason, so you stay mindful of the tradeoff)
- Queue it — we'll notify you the moment the grid is clean again
- Simply wait and come back later
OffPeak AI tracks your personal carbon savings over time, so you can see the real impact of shifting your AI usage to cleaner hours. Nothing about your actual conversations is ever read, stored, or transmitted — we only track when and where you used an AI tool, never what you said.
Built for individuals who want to reduce their AI-related carbon footprint, and for companies who want visibility into their organization's AI energy usage through aggregate, privacy-respecting reporting.
Powered by real-time grid data from WattTime.
Note: OffPeak AI currently uses real-time grid carbon data from Northern California (CAISO_NORTH) for all users, regardless of location. Broader regional coverage is planned for a future update.
