AI quality and conflict-of-interest badges for Zhihu, Xiaohongshu and X
- Problem
- Upvotes reward resonance over rigor: storytellers get thousands of likes while real experts get dozens. Sponsored posts blend into honest reviews, so readers can't tell what's trustworthy. Someone already built a Chrome extension for this, proving the demand.
- Solution
- A browser extension that adds AI badges next to posts: content type (analysis/story/emotion/ad), evidence density score, and conflict-of-interest suspicion. Hover for details, and toggle filtering.
- Users
- Chinese-language readers who scroll Zhihu, Xiaohongshu and X and need to triage information quickly.
- MVP
- Support Zhihu answer pages, Xiaohongshu feed and note pages; classify three badge types via on-device model or lightweight API; hover to show reasoning; one-click hide low-quality items.
- Revenue
- Free basic badges; subscription unlocks multi-platform history and custom highlighting; partnerships with content platforms.
- Why now
- A similar extension just launched on Chrome, confirming viability but leaving room for deeper Chinese-language tuning and more platforms.
