View the research ↗We believe AI shouldn’t cost the earth. Treechat runs on renewables, uses less water, and plants trees for each paid member — so you can finally feel good about using AI.
Free to try. No card needed.
The problem
physical cost.
The world’s biggest AI companies are racing to build larger models on increasingly power-hungry computers.
Every answer uses electricity. The data centres behind those answers also consume water and energy to keep thousands of processors cool.
You rarely see that cost. The planet still does.

So what makes Treechat different?
(glad you asked)
Power it cleanly
Our primary AI infrastructure runs in Norway on renewable hydropower. The cold northern climate also reduces the energy needed for cooling.
See how we verify it
Reduce first
faster.
Treechat defaults to lightweight open models that handle everyday questions with far less computation. Bigger models are available when the work genuinely needs them.
Restore what remains
No AI is impact-free.
For every paid Treechat member, we fund one newly planted tree every month through verified reforestation partners.
Every paid member. Every month.
More than answers
Search, compare, create and plan without stitching the result together yourself.
Simple pricing
Start free, then choose the monthly allowance that fits. Every paid plan funds one newly planted tree each month.
Questions, answered
The honest answers.
How the product, the power and the promises actually work.
For everyday questions, Treechat defaults to efficient open models that require far less computation than the largest frontier systems. Bigger or specialised models are available when the work genuinely needs them.
Our primary AI infrastructure runs in Norway on renewable hydropower. We reduce impact first with lightweight models, then fund one newly planted tree every month for every paid member.
No AI is impact-free. We publish our assumptions, providers and supporting research instead of describing the product as carbon-free. Our methodology page explains what we can verify and where estimates remain uncertain.
Yes. You can start without an account. Creating a free account adds chat history and long-term memory, while Private Chat prevents a conversation from being remembered.
Every paid membership funds one newly planted tree each month through reforestation partners. We publish evidence as planting batches are confirmed.
Signed-in users can view and remove saved memories in Settings. Private Chat does not create memories, and guest conversations do not receive account-level long-term memory.
