Amazoff
New Venture Creation

A chrome extension to curb compulsive buying. This project was a spin off from a mental health hackathon that my teammates won first place in San Francisco on March 2019. Our extension presents small nudges for the users to reconsider their purchasing decisions by implementing an inconvenient design, thus making it less easy for them to act upon their shopping urges.
Amazon was later renamed as Peanut AI. We pitched to prominent Venture Capitalists in Silicon Valley, and we were recently awarded a $10,000 grant by the National University of Singapore (NUS). More information can be found on our official website.

"Ideas are responsible for the progression and prosperity of humans – without them we would still be living in prehistoric times. No idea is too small, and all sorts of ideas have potential to change the world as we know it for the better." - Richard Branson
