Dopamine Score Estimator

Enter an activity to estimate its potential dopamine impact based on general neuroscience principles.

About the Dopamine Score Tool

This tool estimates the potential short-term dopamine impact of activities. Higher scores suggest stronger dopamine release, potentially leading to tolerance or habit loops if overused. Understanding these impacts helps in making mindful choices for a balanced reward system.

Features

  • Estimates dopamine score (0-2000) for any activity using AI.
  • Categorizes score into Low, Moderate, High, or Extreme impact levels with emojis.
  • Provides a brief explanation of the score.
  • Suggests alternative (often lower-dopamine) activities.
  • Visualizes the score with a color-coded gauge.
  • Keeps a history of your recently checked activities.

How it Works

Your activity description is sent to GPT-4o-mini, trained to assess dopamine load based on anchor points and neuroscience concepts. It returns a structured JSON with score, label, explanation, and alternatives. No personal data is stored.
