What if you could just ask an AI assistant to help you understand the sustainability implications of a product your are working on?

When the first OpenAI Assistants became available, I was intrigued by the potential of AI to help with sustainability.

I know that companies don't always have the resources to hire a sustainability expert, and that they often don't know where to start.

That's why I built the Sustainability Explorer.

Try it out here:
sustainability-explorer.glitch.me

It was made with the first models of OpenAI and a relatively straight forward prompt, but the results were surprisingly good.

Have a chat with the Sustainability Explorer AI and see what you think. It will take a few minutes to get to the interesting stuff: it will suggest design briefs for more sustainable products.

The current AI models are a lot better, so I will build a new version with the latest models and some more advanced features. Perhaps you can share a website, images and documents to let the assistent understand your context faster and give better advice.

This first version was built it when I was still at The Incredible Machine together with Marcel Schouwenaar.
