Antirot

The antidote to brain rot.

Antirot helps you pause before handing a task to AI, decide what thinking is worth keeping, and use AI with intention instead of reflex.

Decision Engine

Tell Antirot what you are about to ask AI. It considers the cognitive cost, explains its confidence, and recommends doing it yourself, using AI, or using AI with guardrails. When independent work matters, it still gives you a useful starting scaffold and trusted documentation.

Browser Extension

Get a small, dismissible reminder when you open a supported AI tool. The extension puts the Decision Engine one click away, can be silenced for the day, and never reads your prompts or page content.

Pro-AI. Anti-autopilot.

AI is useful. The risk is reaching for it before deciding what the task could teach you. Antirot creates a brief checkpoint so convenience does not quietly replace practice, judgment, or understanding.

Built on honest research

A 2025 MIT Media Lab essay-writing preprint observed lower neural connectivity and weaker recall in its LLM-assisted group during the experiment. It does not prove permanent harm. Antirot uses that evidence carefully: as a reason to pause and choose deliberately, not as a reason to fear AI.
