Ameeba Brainrot
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ameeba Brainrot is the public name for Rot Score, a cognitive exposure utility designed to help users understand what social apps and algorithmic feeds may be doing to their attention.

Rot Score is a 0–100 exposure signal for patterns such as doomscrolling, notification pressure, short-form content loops, late-night usage, and algorithmic feeds.

No. Rot Score is a utility inside the Ameeba ecosystem. The shareable Ameeba Brainrot layer is designed for awareness and social sharing, not for creating another feed or social network.

Rot Score starts inside Ameeba Chat settings as an optional dashboard. Over time, mobile telemetry and Pseudopod sync can add more automatic exposure signals.

Rot Score is designed to summarize cognitive exposure signals, including long social sessions, repeated app opens, high notification pressure, short-form video loops, late-night scrolling, and recommendation-heavy feed behavior.

No. Rot Score is not a diagnosis. It is an awareness signal that helps users understand patterns in their digital environment and make better choices about attention and boundaries.

The intended score bands are Minimal, Low, Moderate, Elevated, and Severe exposure. They describe intensity of cognitive exposure patterns rather than medical or psychological status.

The web dashboard can show controls, summaries, and synced reports, but full automatic app usage insights require mobile permissions or a client like Pseudopod that can observe activity inside its own environment.

Yes. Rot Score is opt-in. Users can enable it, disable it, and delete associated score data from settings.

No. Rot Score is designed around permissioned telemetry, encrypted identity, and no advertising profiles. The feature should not be used for ad targeting or resale.

Rot Score should be tied to Ameeba’s encrypted identity model and designed to avoid exposing personal identifiers in the product experience.

Users can disable Rot Score and delete associated summaries from the user’s account settings.

Ameeba Chat is built around encrypted identity, aliases, and end-to-end encrypted communication without requiring personal information like a phone number or email. Adding Rot Score as an optional setting keeps cognitive exposure insights inside the same private, security-first environment.

True automatic social app usage insights require mobile-level permissions. Web apps cannot see other apps on a device because browsers are sandboxed for privacy and security, so mobile clients are the right place to request permission and process device-level signals.

Pseudopod uses the same Ameeba patented authentication model and can function as a private browser/workspace. That makes it a natural place to add desktop browsing, workspace focus, and local AI exposure insights without moving users into a separate product ecosystem.

No. Rot Score is optional. Users can continue using Ameeba Chat, aliases, encrypted messaging, Vault, and Pseudopod without enabling cognitive exposure insights.
