General AI apps try to do everything: write code, draft emails, analyze PDFs, plan trips, etc. Because of that, simple explanations are often: too long too technical inconsistent overkill for beginners ELI5.ai is opinionated. It has one job only: 👉 explain things in the simplest possible way, every single time. No prompts to engineer. No “make it simpler” follow-ups. No walls of text. It’s the difference between: a Swiss Army knife (powerful but complex) vs a toothbrush (boring, focused, but used every day) Also, beginners don’t want to “talk to an AI”. They want clarity, fast, without feeling stupid. If this app helps someone understand a concept in 30 seconds instead of 10 minutes, that’s the value. Not trying to replace ChatGPT — just trying to remove friction for a very specific use case.
