AI transparency

Know.it is built on AI, and we think you should know exactly how. Here's what's automated, what powers it, and where its limits are.

What the AI does

When you ask a question, Know.it uses AI end to end: a large language model writes the lesson storyboard and narration script, our own scene engine turns that storyboard into animated visuals, and a text-to-speech model voices it. No human writes each lesson by hand — they are generated on demand.

The models behind it

  • Lesson planning: a large language model decides how to explain the topic and what to show.
  • Narration: a Google text-to-speech model generates the voice.
  • Visuals: rendered by Know.it's animation engine from a fixed library of primitives — not an image or video generator — so the visuals are predictable and on-topic.

Your data and AI

To generate a lesson, your question is sent to the AI services that power Know.it. We don't sell your data. For the full breakdown of what we collect and who processes it, see our Privacy Policy.

Limitations to keep in mind

AI can be confidently wrong. Lessons may occasionally contain errors, outdated details, or oversimplifications. Know.it is designed to give you a fast, vivid understanding — not to serve as a primary or citable source. For anything high-stakes, verify with authoritative references, and please report mistakes so we can fix them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Know.it content generated by AI?
Yes. Lessons are generated by AI in real time — a language model plans the explanation, a scene engine renders the visuals, and a text-to-speech model produces the narration. Curated topic pages are human-reviewed before publishing.
Which AI models does Know.it use?
A large language model writes the lesson plan and a Google text-to-speech model generates the voice. Visuals are rendered by Know.it's own animation engine, not by an image or video model.
Can AI lessons be wrong?
Yes. AI can produce confident but incorrect statements. Treat Know.it as a fast first explanation and verify important facts with authoritative sources. You can report errors and we'll fix them.
