WaitAIMinute

A Chrome extension that displays gentle ethical AI use reminders above text input fields on popular AI tool websites. Encourages users to think before they prompt.

Supported Sites

Features

  • Rotating reminder messages above AI input fields (30s rotation with fade transitions)
  • Sensitive content detection warnings
  • Enable/disable toggle via popup
  • Settings persist across sessions
  • Zero runtime dependencies — vanilla TypeScript only

Installation

Chrome Web Store

Coming soon.

Manual (Developer Mode)

  1. Clone the repo
    git clone https://github.com/pagevamp/waitaiminute.git
    cd waitaiminute
  2. Install dependencies and build
    npm install
    npm run build
  3. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome

Development

npm run dev    # Start Vite dev server with hot reload
npm run build  # TypeScript check + production build

How It Works

The extension injects a small banner above the text input area on supported AI websites. Banners display rotating messages like:

"Wait a minute — could you solve this yourself first?" "Your brain is the best model. Give it a chance first." "Pause. Think. Then decide if you really need AI for this."

Messages rotate every 30 seconds with a fade transition. The extension uses MutationObserver with a fallback polling mechanism to reliably detect input fields across all supported sites.
