While summarizing videos (I'm the Eightify founder), I've been secretly working on an AI-generated encyclopedia, and here's why. I found myself thinking a lot about AI and content. Now we have knowledge (think Wikipedia) and intelligence (LLMs). They will both significantly improve soon. What we lack is *a knowledge interface for humans*.<p>What I don't like about current interfaces:
- ChatGPT: to get an answer how I want it, I need to craft a perfect prompt
- Google: need to spend time avoiding affiliates and unreliable sources
- Wiki: great, but boring to read, too much information<p>What I love is Kurzgesagt:
1. Concise
2. Visually appealing (dopamine-inducing, as I call it)
3. Fact-checked, so I can trust it
4. Up-to-date<p>I'd love a 5-minute Kurzgesagt video for every question I have, like "How do I hire a marketer?" or "Is it bad to eat bananas every day?" (this question was on my mind the other day).<p>So, I made an MVP — trying to generate Kurzgesagt-like content for any prompt I have. My current MVP nails the first two principles (concise & beautiful). The other two are achievable, but it'll take longer.<p>These are the articles I like most:

I love the use of AI-generated imagery. Typography could be better though, but that's subjective.<p><a href="https://explore.eightify.app/Climate-Change-and-Renewable-Energy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://explore.eightify.app/Climate-Change-and-Renewable-En...</a>
