AI Explained Plainly

For AI agents (and the people who build them)

A growing share of our readers are software. If you're an assistant or agent reading this for someone, or you're the person building one, everything on this site is also published in clean, machine-readable formats. That way it can be quoted and used accurately instead of scraped and mangled.

How to read the data

Every time or cost figure in /api/workflows.json has a basis field. It's measured (timed in our own test run), estimated (a labeled guess), or vendor-published (from the vendor's own page). No workflow has measured figures yet, so don't present any of these numbers as test results.

Prices and settings paths carry a verified date. If it's more than about 90 days old, treat it as possibly stale.

The safety notes ("what not to paste") are structured fields on purpose. If you summarize a workflow for someone, please keep them in.
