The explainer library
Six finished plain-English explainers. Every one has a narrated version, and most have a full video. Underlined terms open a definition without leaving the page.
About / Vision
You should be able to check it yourself.
Most people get shut out of decisions that affect their money, their health and their vote — not because the subject is too hard, but because it arrives in language nobody taught them. Undastandable exists to hand that back.
The point
Not “trust us instead.”
Being told who to believe is the same problem in a friendlier voice. So the job here is not to hand you a conclusion — it is to explain the thing plainly enough that you can look at the evidence and decide for yourself.
That is why every explainer lists where it got each claim, why the voting tool links the official record behind every vote it shows, and why the fact-checker hands you a prompt to run on your own AI rather than asking you to take our word for the answer.
What works today
Everything below is live, not planned.
Public record
The voting tool
Your ZIP, then how your own representatives actually voted — every roll call written in plain words, with the official record linked behind it.
Learn it
What AI actually is
The whole system explained from the material that went in to the answer on your screen, plus a plain-English glossary for the words in the news.
Bring your own
The tools
Turn a video into clean text, get a file explained, simplify dense writing with Dumb It Down, or build a fact-check prompt for whichever AI you already use. The video transcriber also ships as a desktop app.
How it fits together
One umbrella. Clear lanes underneath.
Umbrella
Undastandable
The public home: explainers you can read or listen to, tools you can point at your own material, and a way to check what your representatives actually did.
Engine
Dumb It Down
The plain-English engine underneath everything. It turns dense source material into something a person can actually use.
Evidence
Research and fact-checking
The research engine gathers what the sources genuinely say and cites each passage. The fact-checker turns a claim into a prompt you can run yourself.
Production
The Content Line
The working line that takes a topic from source video to finished, sourced, plain-English writing — the same line these explainers are built on.
