Long Documents

For very long documents (10,000+ words), ARKAbrain may route to Gemini 1.5 Pro or Claude, which have larger context windows. Add both OpenAI and OpenRouter keys for best results.

Explain Like I'm 12

explain_simple

Break down complex topics into easy-to-understand explanations using everyday language, analogies, and examples. The AI acts as a patient teacher:

  • Simple language - Avoids jargon and technical terms
  • Relatable analogies - Connects concepts to familiar experiences
  • Step-by-step breakdown - Builds understanding gradually
  • Real-world examples - Illustrates abstract concepts

Example Explanation

Topic

"Explain blockchain technology"

ELI12 Output

"Imagine you and your friends have a shared notebook where you write down who owes who money. But instead of one person keeping the notebook, everyone has an exact copy. Every time someone writes something new, everyone's notebook updates automatically. No one can erase or change old entries because everyone would notice their copy is different. That's basically what blockchain is - a shared record book that's impossible to cheat on because everyone has a copy!"
