AI explained the way a friend would explain it.
This site is about Claude. The AI assistant from Anthropic. I write here in plain English. No jargon. No marketing fluff. Just the stuff I learned by actually using it.

I have been in software for over thirty years. I have seen tools come and go. Most of them needed a manual nobody read.
Claude is the first AI tool I actually use every single day. So I started writing down what I learned. The short version. The one I wish I had on day one.
If something here is unclear, tell me. I update these pages when readers ask good questions.
