Mission: Ai energy, carbon, tree-time, and h20 estimates

Donations are not tax-deductible at this time.
Where we actually are: Random Knights, LLC is a Georgia limited liability company. We intend to apply for 501(c)(3) status. We have not applied yet, and nothing has been granted.
What we are building: Every time you ask an Ai a question, it uses electricity. That electricity has a carbon cost. Almost nobody tells you what it is.
We wrote a standard for saying it out loud. It is called AiEDs, the Ai Energy Disclosure Standard. It estimates the energy and carbon of each Ai response and saves the estimate so anyone can review it later, like a cost log. For inference, it can also include an optional low-to-high estimate of water consumed. The numbers come from published figures, not meter readings, and we say so wherever we show them.
Energy and carbon are modeled estimates. Tree-Time and equivalents are educational comparisons. Water is a modeled estimate.

Donations are not tax-deductible at this time. They go to a company, not a charity. We would rather say that plainly than take your money under an impression we have not earned.
How much does your work impact our planet?
Data centers required for Ai advancements use vast resources like electricity, land, and water. We want to know at what cost? We estimate the energy, carbon, and *tree-time from your agentic work to show how the Cloud is still very much on the ground.
*Tree-time: we compare the time it takes one mature tree to absorb the carbon from your Ai activity. Our reference tree is a healthy tree in steady growth that absorbs 21 kg of CO2 a year.
The average U.S. electricity carbon emission factor is about 0.81 pounds of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), or about 367 grams of CO2 per kWh, based on 2023 data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). AiEDs receipts use a fixed global figure of 429 grams of CO2e per kWh, so they will not match this U.S. average.
Tree-Time and equivalents are educational comparisons.
