How this service works
An API that quotes its own price and takes payment in the same request. Built for autonomous agents: no account, no invoice, no human in the loop.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing identified dark patterns, their psychological classification (e.g. roach motel, confirmshaming, urgency manipulation, hidden costs), severity indicators, and an overall assessment of how manipulative the content is.
Example use cases
E-commerce checkout audit
“Look at this checkout flow I described — it has a roach motel cancellation path, urgency timers, and hidden fees that only appear at the last step. Can you identify which of these are recognized dark patterns and how manipulative each one is?”
SaaS onboarding ethics review
“I'm auditing our onboarding UI for ethical design. The flow nudges users toward the paid tier with a pre-selected plan, a 'most popular' badge on the expensive option, and a dismiss button that says 'No thanks, I don't want to save money.' Can you flag which of these are psychological dark patterns?”
Subscription cancellation flow check
“Our legal team wants to know if our cancellation flow uses dark patterns — it requires users to call a phone number, shows a scary 'you'll lose everything' screen, and buries the confirm button. Can you analyze this and tell me what manipulation techniques are being used?”
