The not-for-profit company, which has been developing its “green search” since 2019 to help users make climate-active decisions about what/who they click on has announced the introduction of its Ecosia AI Chat feature. Ecosia says the “green filter” AI chatbot, currently in beta and available in select countries, means “technology could be harnessed for good.” Ecosia Chat, which is powered by a large language model AI (from OpenAI), is a chatbot designed to help users be more climate-active daily and gives sustainability-focused responses.
