Receipts turns any X / Twitter thread into a one-screen brief: who’s actually arguing, what they’re each citing, and how much of the thread is just noise.
“They advertised on Twitter and ran a sign-up form. That’s not a sample, that’s a fan club.” — @kperez_econ
“Cohen’s d of 0.12. Read the table.” — @ksu_stats
Most of us scroll past pile-ons and threads that could have changed how we see the world — not because we don’t care, but because the cost of parsing hundreds of replies is too high. So the public square fills with heat, and the shape of the actual disagreement stays invisible. Receipts exists to lower that cost for one thread at a time.
The internet has traded critical thinking for engagement loops, leaving public discourse flooded with emotional noise, cognitive biases, and unchecked misinformation. Receipts changes how we consume online information by introducing an AI-driven critical-thinking layer directly to your browser.
Acting as an objective analytical companion, the extension sits atop social media platforms to instantly map complex comment threads, separate valid arguments from logical fallacies, and quantify user sentiment on core debates. It does not tell you what to think, but equips you with real-time fact-verification and structured data so you can cut through the noise, recognize rhetorical manipulation, and formulate high-value, reasoned responses.
The bigger bet is cultural: when more people can see who is arguing what, with what evidence, and what is pure noise, bad faith gets harder to hide and good-faith disagreement gets easier to find. We are not here to crown a winner or automate your opinions — we are here to make the terrain legible so you still draw the line.
Receipts is a Chrome extension for the soft launch: you’re on a thread, you click the icon, you get a brief. After that, we are expanding this utility into an ecosystem. If this habit spreads — read before you reply, cite before you dunk, archive how positions evolved — the ceiling is high: calmer replies, better-informed timelines, and spaces where changing your mind is a sign of attention, not weakness.
Want build notes and a heads-up when we ship something that matters? Enter your email once, pick what we should prioritize after the extension feels rock-solid, and submit. We only email when there’s news worth your inbox (no drip), and we’ll email you if we start building your pick. Votes are deduped by email.
No streaming AI hot takes. No “AI says X is correct.” We show you the structure of the disagreement and let you draw the line yourself.
We want people actually using Receipts and sending feedback before we optimize for revenue. Here’s the shape of it today.
$0 / month
30 days of full Pro
$6 / mo or $48 / yr
Receipts is the Chrome extension today: that’s the product you install from the Web Store. Threads live inside X in your browser, so we sit next to the page you’re already reading — one toolbar click, no copy-pasting URLs into another tab or waiting on a separate site while the conversation scrolls away. A companion web app or dashboard may come later (saved briefs, search, digests), but the first experience stays anchored where the argument actually happens.
No. Receipts generates tone-matched drafts to assist your critical thinking process, but you retain complete control. Nothing is ever posted to your account automatically.
We parse public thread data to generate your analytical briefs. We do not sell your personal data or track your private browsing history outside of the explicit thread requests you submit. Privacy policy.
Because AI models are prone to bias and hallucination. Receipts is built to expose the objective engineering of an argument — mapping claims, data points, and fallacies — so that you can make up your own mind.
Every new account gets 30 days of full Pro the first time you complete sign-in — no card, no hoops. After that you’re on the free tier (5 briefs/day) until paid Pro is offered. The first 100 people to sign up also get a permanent Founding reader badge number. When paid Pro is available, they’ll be eligible for 50% off Pro for their first six months if they subscribe within six months of their trial start.
