AI tools, explained by doing

Every page here answers one question: how do I actually do this. No release notes, no hot takes — the tool, the steps, the command, and what it costs.

Opus 5.5 Is Not 40% Cheaper Everywhere. Here Is Where the Number Holds.

Anthropic's headline for Claude Opus 5.5 is simple: 40% cheaper, 30% faster than Opus 5. Those two numbers are doing most of the work in every comparison article published since September.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is everything on the site free?

    Yes. Every entry, tutorial and update is readable without an account, and there is no metered paywall or cookie wall. A membership is planned for the longer research pieces, but the reference pages stay open.

    How often are pages updated?

    Entries are re-checked roughly once a quarter and immediately when a product changes its pricing or drops a free tier. When that happens the page is corrected and the date at the top moves; the URL never changes.

    Do you take payment for reviews or rankings?

    No. No company has reviewed a draft about itself, and no payment changes what appears here or where it appears. Where an outbound link is an affiliate link, it is labelled as one next to the button.

    Are the numbers on the page measured or quoted?

    Measured numbers are labelled as ours and carry the hardware or connection they were taken on. Anything from a vendor benchmark or a third-party report is marked as reported in the sentence itself, not in a footnote.

    Do you cover every new AI tool?

    No. A page exists when there is something useful to add: a working install path, a measured limit, or a clear answer to what it replaces. Tools we have not used do not get a page just because they launched.
