People use chatbots for all different reasons. A recent study highlighted how the public uses ChatGPT, and surprisingly, users leaned on the chatbot for personal queries more often than professional ones.

But what if every prompt you typed, be it for work, school, or personal use, also did something good for the planet? That’s the idea behind Ecosia Chat, the AI assistant from the search engine best known for planting trees.

Now, that same mission extends to its chatbot.
