Hello, I’m Brian, a high school student in San Diego. I was thrilled to announce the first LLM-based sustainability assistant, Clim8Assist.
This video can give you a good introduction to the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKHt8YqZOg8
I made this tool since it’s oftentimes hard to identify what products and things are truly eco-friendly in our everyday lives. With countless factors at play and Google not giving a definitive answer, making the best choices for the environment can be daunting, especially if you’re new to sustainability or not an environmental scientist.
Clim8Assist addresses this by providing accurate and rapid responses with clear, actionable recommendations. More specifically, it can tell you which of two products or companies is more sustainable, with high accuracy, in under 15 seconds.
This tool eliminates the hassle that can come with sustainable decision-making and even provides the pros and cons of both sides so users can tailor the decision to their personal context.
I’ve also conducted research to verify the accuracy of Clim8Assist and benchmark it against other leading models.
NOTE: ClimAssist utilizes OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo model and Pickaxe’s web browsing capabilities.
Results Summarized:
- 88% accuracy to recommend the “correct” (more sustainable) option (10.8% above average)
- Outperforms 7 out of 8 leading AI tools on the market
- 20% chance of minor discrepancies, far fewer than other tools
- Less user intervention needed, with reduced ties and off-topic results, which makes use of the tool for decision-making easier

My goal with Clim8Assist is so everyone, no matter what your knowledge of climate science, can buy, do, and think more sustainably. I believe this widespread accessibility to informed choices will be key in mitigating climate change.
