Ilias Miraoui (ID: 00000095e81ad70a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/21/2023 Love using this tool! Thank you for making it!!!

Lisa W (ID: 000000b8b9797135) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 really enjoy using ExplainAI, thanks for building!

Omar Salim Moussa (ID: 00000017eed2c5b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2023 This is a nice extension to understand what some song lyrics mean in a certain context. Songs usually use words in unusual ways.

Kevin Olson (ID: 000000f41c031b8d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 A great feature to add to Chrome - saves time by not having to use a web-based dictionary. Definitions based on context are espcially nice. Well done!

Zak El Fassi (zakelfassi) (ID: 0000000c3cc7c1de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 Explain AI has revolutionized my web browsing experience. It’s a brilliant solution to the common problem of having to open multiple tabs to understand a single word or phrase. The AI-driven context-based explanation is executed flawlessly. The minimalist design is non-intrusive and blends seamlessly into my browsing experience. The pop-up feature saves me the hassle of leaving my current page. Explain AI’s versatility is impressive, working with single words, phrases, abbreviations, technical terms, and even foreign languages. The ease of use is another major plus, with various activation methods and customizable settings. There are limitations, but this is real Alpha right here, especially for writers and researchers – I can't believe we live in a time where such a product could exist.
