About

AI explained simply

ELI5AI.co exists to make AI easier to understand without technical jargon, vague hype, or overcomplicated explanations.

Why this site exists

AI is everywhere now, but many people still feel like the explanations are either too technical or too shallow.

Some content is written mainly for engineers. Other content is full of buzzwords but says very little. ELI5AI.co sits between those two extremes.

The goal is simple: explain the ideas, tools, workflows, and comparisons behind AI in a way normal people can understand and actually use.

What ELI5AI covers

AI basics like LLMs, tokens, prompts, and context windows
Popular tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, embeddings, APIs, and vector databases
Practical workflows like RAG, automation, agents, MCP, system prompts, and fine-tuning
Clear comparisons that help people choose the right tools and concepts
