DARE (the anti Doom Scrolling GPT)

Meet DARE, the GPT that dares you to stop doomscrolling.

We all know that “just one more scroll” feeling. The endless stream of bad news, hot takes, and highlight reels can hijack our attention and leave us anxious, restless, and stuck in a digital loop. My super-talented friend Sabatani suggested a GPT to tempt you away from the scroll with a DARE. This playful digital coach is designed to interrupt doomscrolling with small, real-world actions that make you feel human again.

Grounded in behavioral science, from the Fogg Behavior Model (Motivation + Ability + Prompt) to Tiny Habits and the Fresh Start Effect, DARE offers simple, safe “dares” you can say yes to in seconds.
Think:
+ Step outside for two minutes and feel the sun.
+ Doodle what’s in front of you for five.
+ Send a quick voice note to a friend.
+ Tidy one drawer.

Each dare is designed to replace the dopamine hit of a scroll with something better: presence, creativity, connection, and calm.

Research shows that even 15 minutes in nature reduces anxiety and boosts vitality, while micro-habits and small wins reinforce lasting change. DARE turns that science into a friendly nudge, the kind that makes you smile and actually do it.

If you’ve ever wanted a digital assistant that helps you put the phone down, this is it.
