๐ŸŽฏ Your Signals
Beyond simple category tracking, My AI Curator detects behavioral signals that make your data more (or less) valuable โ€” the same way real advertisers evaluate audiences.
๐Ÿ”ฅ High Purchase Intent
Detected when you search or view the same category 3+ times within 3 days. Signals you're close to making a purchase decision.
๐Ÿ›’ Cart Abandonment
Detected when items sit in your cart for 24+ hours without purchase. One of the strongest purchase-intent signals advertisers look for.
๐Ÿ“ˆ Rising / New Interest
Detected when a category shows a new or 50%+ increase in activity compared to last week โ€” signals a shift in what you care about.
๐Ÿ“‰ Declining Interest
Detected when a category drops 50%+ compared to last week.
๐Ÿ’” Churn Risk
Detected when you search things like "cancel Netflix" or "alternative to Spotify" โ€” signals you might be switching services.
๐Ÿ’Ž Value Tier (Premium / Budget)
Detected from the brands you search โ€” premium brands (Chanel, Rolex...) vs budget brands (Daiso, clearance sales...).
โค๏ธ Brand Loyalty Score
Tracks how often โ€” and how long โ€” you've engaged with specific brands (300+ recognized, from Nike to Tesla to Starbucks). Frequent mentions over weeks or months signal real brand loyalty, not just a one-time search.
Signals are calculated 100% locally on your device. They only affect your estimated data value display โ€” nothing is sent anywhere.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data sent to any server?
No. All data, including the Consumer Profile Card, Data Age, and Buyer Readiness score, is calculated and stored only in your browser's local storage. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
What is the Consumer Profile Card for?
It's a snapshot of your value as a consumer โ€” the kind of profile advertisers already build about you, except this one is visible to you and stored only on your device. Nothing on the card is shared or sold; it's for your own awareness today, and preparation for a future where you may choose to share it.
Does my Buyer Readiness score reset if I reinstall the extension?
If you update through the Chrome Web Store (the normal way), your data and score history are preserved. Only a full manual uninstall + fresh install would clear local data.
Where did the weekly report and duplicate cleaner go?
We simplified the Overview tab. The weekly report moved to My Value, and duplicate cleanup moved to Settings โ†’ Data Collection Status.
Will tracker blocking break websites?
Most websites work fine. You can temporarily disable blocking in Settings, or add a domain exception.
Is the data value ($) real money I can receive?
Not yet. It's an estimate based on advertising industry CPM rates, boosted by behavioral signals. Direct data selling is planned for a future Data Marketplace (v4.0).
Will my data disappear if I switch browsers?
Yes. Data is stored in your current browser only. Use the Export tab to save a backup before switching.
Is there a mobile version?
Yes! An Android app is in public beta testing. Check the extension header for the latest link.
