I run a site that explains AI in plain English for people who didn't grow up with it, mostly folks in their 50s and up. The thing that surprised me most is how rarely the questions are the ones tech people expect.
The top one isn't "what is a language model". It's "was this video real" and "my mom got a call that sounded like me, what do I do". Right behind that are people who've been told at work they have to use AI now and are quietly panicking about it.
One thing that would really help is an offline mode or downloadable PDFs for each guide, since not everyone has reliable internet and some folks want to print these out for their parents or grandparents to keep handy.
@defnearzuxwyx good call on the printing part. it's actually already in there, hit Ctrl+P on any guide and it strips the nav, ads and footer, goes black and white, and prints the full URL next to every link so the sheet still works on paper. we built it for exactly the "print it for mum" case. but you're right that nobody is going to find it that way, so we're adding a proper print button on every guide so it stops being a hidden feature. offline and real PDFs are a fair ask too, noted.
love that you lead with plain english right in the tagline, and the 10 languages thing quietly does a lot of heavy lifting. honestly the no signup part is a nice move too, basically just respects your time.
@aliakboae8xr thanks, that means a lot. the no signup part was honestly the easy call, the people we're building this for give up the second you ask them to make an account. the 10 languages took longer but same reasoning, plain English only helps if it's actually your language.
Love that every guide ends with a plain-English recap and a "what to do next" box, it makes the whole thing feel less like a knowledge dump and more like a conversation with someone who actually understands you don't know what a model is.
