PromptQuo works through a Chrome extension that observes how you interact with AI tools. Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera. any Chromium browser.

2. Sign In to the Extension

• You.com (you.com)
• Pi (pi.ai)

You're always in control. PromptQuo only runs on sites you've approved.

4. Start Prompting Like Normal

Go use AI like you normally would. PromptQuo gives you a small toolbar at the bottom-center of every supported AI site with two buttons:

• Optimize Prompt. Click before you send and we rewrite your prompt to get a sharper answer. 5 uses per day on Free, unlimited on Pro.
• Start Fresh. Opens a side panel with structured prompts (context, goal, format) for tough prompts you want to build deliberately.

Every prompt you submit also gets scored silently in the background and synced to your dashboard. On Pro, a daily email recaps yesterday's patterns and resource use. The toolbar can be dragged, resized, or collapsed — it stays out of your way.

Every prompt you submit gets two scores, each from 0 to 100:

• AI Efficiency. How well-structured your prompt is for getting a sharp AI response. Higher means better answer with fewer follow-ups.
• Brain Tracker. How much YOU are doing the thinking versus outsourcing it to AI. This is what no other tool measures.

The Brain Tracker is the one to watch over time:

• 0-30 (Red). Brain replacement. You're outsourcing your thinking to AI with little input of your own.
• 31-59 (Amber). Mixed. Some of your own thinking, but room to improve.
• 60-100 (Green). Brain amplification. AI is extending YOUR thinking. You're bringing context, goals, and your own work.

What We Look For

Your score is based on 12 signals detected in your prompt:

Your own attempt	Did you include your draft, thinking, or prior work? This is the strongest signal.
Context	Your role, tools, constraints, audience, situation.
Goal	What outcome you want and what success looks like.
Learning intent	Asking "why" or "help me understand" instead of just getting an answer.
Constraints	Format, length, tone, scope, audience specification.
Examples	Providing an example of what you want.
Specificity	Concrete details: numbers, named tools, formats.
Cognitive depth	Are you analyzing, evaluating, or creating. not just asking for info?

What Lowers Your Score

• Full outsourcing. "Write me a..." with no input of your own
• Delegating judgment. "What should I do?" without stating your own view
• Very short prompts. Under 10 words with no context

Two Layers of Scoring

On submit (instant): When you send a prompt, PromptQuo analyzes it locally in your browser against 12 signals and computes both scores. This is the number you see on your dashboard.

Overnight (deep): For Pro users, an AI reviews your day's prompts and rates subtler qualities. like whether your thinking was genuine or just keyword-stuffed. This refines your scores in the daily report email.

When you visit a supported AI site, a small toolbar appears fixed at the bottom-center of the page. It's always visible (unless you collapse it) and stays out of the way.

What's on the toolbar

• Optimize Prompt (orange button). Click before you send and PromptQuo rewrites your current prompt to get a sharper answer. Best for short prompts under 4,000 characters. 5 uses per day on Free, unlimited on Pro.
• Start Fresh. Opens a side panel that walks you through context, goal, format, and acceptance criteria. Use it when you want to build a prompt deliberately or when you have a wall of content to paste.
• Size + and -. Adjust the toolbar size.
• Collapse toggle. Minimize the toolbar to just the orange dot. Click again to expand.
• User icon. Sign-in status, settings, and a link to your dashboard.

The toolbar is draggable. Click and hold the grip on the left edge to move it anywhere on the page.

Where to see your scores

The toolbar itself stays minimal so it doesn't distract you. To see your scores:

• Click the PromptQuo icon in your browser toolbar (the puzzle-piece menu) for today's average AI Efficiency + Brain Tracker.
• Open your dashboard for per-prompt scores, conversation breakdowns, streaks, and resource impact.
• Pro users get a morning email recap delivered to their inbox.

When the toolbar won't appear

• You're on a site you haven't approved in Settings
• The extension was just installed and you haven't refreshed the AI site yet
• You manually collapsed the toolbar (click the orange dot on the page edge to bring it back)

Every morning, PromptQuo generates a report for the previous day. Reports include:

• Overall score. Your average across all prompts that day
• Per-conversation breakdown. Each conversation scored separately with specific feedback:
  • What you did well
  • The most impactful thing to improve
  • A concrete rewrite of your weakest prompt
• Estimated environmental impact. Energy, water, and CO2 estimates for your AI usage (all clearly labeled as estimates)
• Potential savings. How much resource usage could be reduced with better prompting

Reports are available in the Reports section. Pro users also receive them by email.

When Reports Are Generated

Reports generate when your local time passes 7 AM. If you used AI the previous day, you'll have a report waiting. If you didn't use any AI tools, no report is generated for that day.

Pro users can access the prompt improvement assistant by clicking the score circle and selecting "Full rewrite."

How It Works

1. Click the score circle on any AI site
2. Click "Full rewrite" to open the assistant panel
3. Answer 5 quick questions about your goal, context, and what you've tried
4. Click "Generate". PromptQuo rewrites your prompt incorporating your answers
5. See the before/after score comparison
6. Click "Replace" to inject the improved prompt, or "Copy" to paste it yourself

What Makes the Rewrite Better

The rewrite weaves in the context, goals, and thinking you shared in the questions. It doesn't just rephrase your prompt. it transforms it from brain replacement to brain amplification by making AI build on YOUR reasoning.

What We Collect

• Prompt quality signals. Numerical scores like "has context: yes," "specificity: 47"
• A short snippet. The first 280 characters of each prompt, truncated
• Estimated token counts. Approximate input/output length

What We Never Collect

• Full conversation transcripts
• AI responses beyond the first 500 characters (used only for token estimation)
• Anything from sites you haven't approved
• Keystrokes, passwords, or personal files

How Signal Extraction Works

All signal extraction (the 12 scoring signals) happens locally in your browser before anything leaves your machine. Only the numerical signals and the short snippet are sent to our servers.

The "Improve" Feature

When you use "Full rewrite," your prompt text is sent to our server, processed through a language model (Google Gemini), and the improved version is returned. Your prompt is not stored after the response is generated.

Your Control

• Toggle any AI platform off in Settings to stop monitoring it instantly
• Uninstall the extension to stop all data collection immediately
• Full Privacy Policy available

Does PromptQuo read my full conversations?

No. It captures prompt quality signals (numerical scores) and a 280-character snippet. Full conversations are never stored.

Does it work on mobile?

Not yet. Mobile operating systems don't allow apps to observe other apps. A mobile version is on the roadmap as a custom keyboard (like Wispr Flow's approach).

Will it slow down ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini?

No. Signal extraction runs in under 1 millisecond. The extension observes the page quietly without interfering with any functionality.

What if a site changes its design?

AI sites update their pages regularly. When this happens, the score circle may temporarily stop appearing on that site. We monitor for these changes and push updates to the extension. The core scoring still works. only the on-page display is affected.

Are the environmental impact numbers accurate?

They're estimates based on published research (Luccioni 2023, Li 2023). Actual values vary widely by model, hardware, and datacenter. Every figure is clearly labeled as "estimated."

Can I use my referral code?

Yes. Find your referral code in Settings. Share it with friends. You both get $5 credit toward your next bill when they sign up.

How do I cancel?

Go to Settings → Manage Billing. You can cancel anytime. You'll keep Pro access until the end of your billing period, then drop to the free plan.
