The big idea
Half the 'studies' that go viral on TikTok have never been replicated by anyone. AI can help you design a tiny replication study at home or school to see if the effect is real.
How to use it
- Pick a viral claim and ask AI to design a 1-week home replication
- Ask AI to suggest a control group you can actually use
- Ask AI to flag what could mess up your results (confounds)
- Ask AI to suggest the smallest sample size that's meaningful
Try it
Pick a viral 'study' from this week. Ask AI to design a 7-day mini-replication you could actually do.
