About PlainAI

AI made simple for real people.

PlainAI exists because most AI coverage is written for people who already love technology. We write for everyone else.

Our story
Why we started PlainAI

When AI tools started taking over the internet, most of the coverage fell into two camps. Either it was breathless hype about how AI was going to change everything, or it was deeply technical content written for developers and early adopters.

Nobody was writing for the person who just wanted to know: does this tool actually save me time? Is it worth paying for? How do I use it without a computer science degree?

That is the gap PlainAI was built to fill. Plain English. Honest opinions. Real-world testing. No tech speak, no sponsored takes, no hype.

We are not a media company. We are not a tech blog chasing page views. We are a small team that uses these tools every day and writes about what we find.

How we work
What we believe about AI reviews
01
We test before we write
Every tool we cover is something we have actually used. We do not summarize press releases or rewrite vendor websites.
02
We say no when the answer is no
If a tool is not worth your time or money, we will tell you. A lukewarm review that protects affiliate income is not an honest review.
03
Plain English only
If we catch ourselves using tech speak, we rewrite it. Our readers should never have to Google a term to understand our articles.

How we make money

PlainAI earns a small commission when you sign up for a tool through one of our links. This comes at no extra cost to you – the price is the same whether you use our link or go directly.

We only include affiliate links for tools we have actually reviewed and would recommend regardless. Our ratings and opinions are never influenced by whether a company has an affiliate program.

Some tools we rate highly have no affiliate program at all. Some tools with affiliate programs get negative reviews from us. The commission follows the honest opinion, not the other way around.
