BOSLA AI is a personal digital control layer that helps you decide what deserves your attention online — so your digital experience reflects your priorities, not just what algorithms choose to show you. ## Is BOSLA AI available yet? Yes. BOSLA AI is live in beta: [create a free account](https://boslaai.co/sign-up), add the extension to Chrome, Edge or Brave, and choose what you see on YouTube, X and LinkedIn. ## What does “Bosla” mean? *Bosla* means “compass”. It reflects the idea at the heart of the product: giving you a sense of direction online. ## How does BOSLA AI work? BOSLA AI is a browser extension. You define what matters to you in your dashboard, and BOSLA shapes what you see around it: hide distractions, blur what you'd rather not see and set time limits. Details keep evolving during the beta as we learn from members. ## Which platforms does BOSLA support? Today the extension works on YouTube, X and LinkedIn, in Chrome, Edge and Brave. TikTok, Instagram and Facebook are planned, and you can [ask for a platform](https://boslaai.co/feedback?about=platform). ## What happens when I create an account? You get a free account and a dashboard. Connect the extension to it and your settings follow you to every browser you sign in on. We only send product updates if you switch them on. ## What data do you collect on this website? Only what's needed: your email if you create an account, and your message if you contact us. We count a few anonymous events like button clicks without cookies or IP addresses. See the [privacy policy](https://boslaai.co/privacy) for details. ## How is BOSLA AI different from a website blocker? A website blocker shuts off a whole site. BOSLA AI is designed to work *inside* the sites you already use: instead of blocking YouTube, it helps shape what appears in your feed around what you want more of and less of. You keep the useful parts and reduce the rest. ## Will BOSLA AI block YouTube? No. The goal isn't to stop you using YouTube, it's to help you use it on your terms. BOSLA AI is designed to reduce what you don't want to see in your feed, while you can still search for, open and watch any video you choose. ## Will BOSLA AI work on mobile? BOSLA AI is a browser extension for desktop today. We know a lot of scrolling happens on phones, and mobile is something we're exploring, but we won't promise a date until it's ready. Members will hear about it first. ## What will BOSLA AI let me hide or reduce? We're starting with YouTube. BOSLA AI is designed to let you reduce the kinds of content you'd rather skip, such as topics you're not interested in, Shorts and clickbait-style videos, and to keep what you chose easy to reach. The exact list of controls will be confirmed at launch, and we'll mark clearly which features are available and which are planned. ## How will BOSLA AI know what a video is about? BOSLA AI is designed to understand a video from information that's already visible in your feed, such as its title and channel, and match it against the preferences you set. We'll publish a clear explanation of exactly what the extension reads before launch. ## Will the filtering always be accurate? No tool gets it right every time, and we won't pretend otherwise. Videos with clear, descriptive titles are easier to understand than short or vague ones. That's why we're designing BOSLA AI so you can see your rules, change them and correct mistakes easily. We won't publish accuracy numbers until we can back them up. ## Can I customize what I see? Yes, that's the core idea. You'll define what you want more of, less of and never, and you'll be able to change it whenever your priorities change. Your rules will be visible and editable at any time. For the thinking behind this, read [the principles behind BOSLA AI](https://boslaai.co/blog/your-choices-not-an-algorithm). ## Will search still work normally? Yes. When you search, you're telling YouTube exactly what you want, so BOSLA AI is designed to focus on the places where content is chosen *for* you, like the Home feed and recommendations, not on your own searches. ## Does BOSLA AI use artificial intelligence? Yes, AI helps BOSLA AI understand what a piece of content is about so it can match it to your preferences. But you stay in charge: the AI follows the rules you set, it doesn't decide for you. We'll explain clearly how and where AI is used before launch. ## Will there be parental or family controls? There are no dedicated parental controls yet. Today, families can use Blur to cover sensitive images and thumbnails on a shared screen, and the Ad Blocker to remove sponsored clutter. For the options YouTube itself offers, read our guide to [setting up YouTube for your family](https://boslaai.co/blog/set-up-youtube-for-your-family). ## Will the extension collect my browsing or watch history? No. Blur decisions are made on your device, and we never keep a list of the videos you watched or the images that were blurred. If you connect an account and keep analytics on, only daily totals (such as how many ads were removed) are synced, and they're kept for 90 days. See the [privacy policy](https://boslaai.co/privacy) for details. ## Will anything leave my browser? We're designing BOSLA AI to do as much as possible on your own device. If any information ever needs to be sent to our servers to make a feature work, we'll explain exactly what it is, and give you a clear way to control it, before you use that feature. ## Will I need an account? No. You can use the extension without an account. A free account is optional: it syncs your settings across browsers and gives you a dashboard and a weekly summary. ## Will BOSLA AI be free? We want the core of BOSLA AI to be accessible to everyone who wants more control over their feed. We haven't announced plans or pricing yet. When we do, we'll be clear about what's free and what isn't, with no surprises. ## How much does BOSLA AI cost? BOSLA AI is free during the beta. If we ever charge for something, members will hear about plans and prices before anything is charged, never after. [Create a free account](https://boslaai.co/sign-up) to try it. ## Will there be usage limits? Any limits will depend on the plans we offer, which haven't been finalized. If a plan includes limits, we'll state them clearly on the pricing page, in plain numbers, before you choose it. ## Will BOSLA AI work beyond YouTube? Yes. The extension works on YouTube, X and LinkedIn today. TikTok, Instagram and Facebook are planned, and we'll only announce each one once it actually works. You can [ask for a platform](https://boslaai.co/feedback?about=platform).
