According to Wikipedia, "an echo chamber refers to situations in which beliefs are amplified or reinforced by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulated from rebuttal."
When we consume news online, algorithms tend to show us content that matches our existing beliefs. Over time, this creates information bubbles where we only encounter viewpoints similar to our own, making it harder to understand different perspectives on important issues.
Echochamber.ai is a free Chrome extension that helps you break out of your information bubble. When you're reading a news article, our extension analyzes the content and finds related articles from different sources and perspectives.
We use AI to analyze potential bias in news coverage and provide context about the topics you're reading. Our goal isn't to tell you what to think, but to show you the full spectrum of coverage on any given story.
We believe that understanding multiple perspectives makes us better informed citizens. In an era of increasing polarization, having easy access to diverse viewpoints is more important than ever.
Echochamber.ai doesn't take sides. We simply help you see the bigger picture by surfacing coverage you might otherwise miss.
Echochamber.ai was created by Thomas Seropian, a software engineer based in London.
