SlopFilter — Local AI-slop detection for your feed

A browser extension that hides obvious AI-generated fluff on X and LinkedIn for developers

Problem

X and LinkedIn are flooded with formulaic AI-generated content. Developers scrolling their feed find the signal drowned out, and manually muting is exhausting. Someone has already built a slop filter for these platforms, which shows this is a recurring daily friction rather than a one-off complaint.

Solution

A browser extension that runs lightweight, local feature detection inside the feed. It spots repetitive sentence patterns, hollow parallel structures, typical AI filler, and over-marketed formats, then collapses or replaces them with a placeholder. Users can tune sensitivity by noise type and reveal hidden items with one click.

Users

Developers, technical recruiters, content creators, and investors who heavily use X and LinkedIn

MVP

Support X and LinkedIn feeds; local rule-based features plus a lightweight classifier; collapse or label suspected AI slop; per-category toggles and sensitivity; fully local with no content sent to servers

Revenue

Free base tier plus a $9 lifetime or $2/month Pro with custom rules, multi-platform support, and import/export

Why now

AI-generated content is rising fast on social platforms, and platforms have little incentive to clean it up. A browser extension lets an indie developer validate quickly without fighting platform algorithms directly
