Editorial standards

Most lessons are generated on demand: a large language model plans the explanation, our scene engine renders the visuals, and a text-to-speech voice narrates. Curated reference pages (like our explained topics) are written and reviewed by a human before publishing.

• Teach the mainstream understanding. Lessons aim to reflect the widely accepted, textbook-level explanation of a topic.
• Clarity without distortion. We simplify to make ideas accessible, but we avoid simplifications that make something wrong.
• Show, don't mislead. Visuals are illustrative; diagrams and animations are designed to aid understanding, not to imply false precision.
• No medical, legal, or financial advice. Lessons explain general concepts; they are not personalized professional advice.

Because lessons are AI-generated, they can occasionally contain errors, outdated information, or oversimplifications. We treat Know.it as a fast, vivid first explanation — a springboard for understanding — not as a citable primary source. For high-stakes decisions, verify with authoritative references.
