Hedge

My friend and I built this Chrome extension called Hedge which is essentially an AI-powered content filter which blocks distracting websites from the web based on the goal you enter in plain text.

This is an effort to tackle a problem that almost everyone faces at some point. You sit down to work on your computer, and you inevitably end up doom-scrolling Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Insta, etc. This may happen knowingly when you are actively procrastinating or unknowingly when something just catches your eye and you go down a deep rabbit hole of videos/websites. (People with ADHD might relate to this.)

We whipped up a POC and tried it, and the idea of an AI content filter really showed some promise during our testing. Then we decided to make the entire thing with a number of quality-of-life changes. We took inspiration from some popular productivity apps out there to augment our central idea.

We really think this can turn into a useful and valuable tool for users and we would love it if people could try it out (15 days free) and provide some much-needed feedback/criticism, ideas etc.
