Less “the robots
are coming”.
More “here’s
what matters”.
AI explained without the doom, the jargon, or the bloke on Facebook who thinks the robots are after his lawnmower.
No robot overlords detected. Just tools that need a sensible human at the controls.

Expert curious.
We explain the button, and what is going on behind it. Useful today, interesting tomorrow. DOT will translate anything that starts sounding like a manual.
The clear layer
What a tool does, where it helps, what it costs and what never belongs in the prompt box.
The deeper layer
How much it can hold in its head, where it looks things up, what it gives up to be quick, and why sounding sure is not the same as being right.
The human layer
Judgement, taste, consent, accountability and the revolutionary idea of checking your work.
The constellation
Same sky.
Different spacecraft.
