Show HN: AI-Powered Encyclopedia – Beautiful TLDR Articles

[ax8080]

While summarizing videos (I'm the Eightify founder), I've been secretly working on an AI-generated encyclopedia, and here's why. I found myself thinking a lot about AI and content. Now we have knowledge (think Wikipedia) and intelligence (LLMs). They will both significantly improve soon. What we lack is *a knowledge interface for humans*.

What I don't like about current interfaces: - ChatGPT: to get an answer how I want it, I need to craft a perfect prompt - Google: need to spend time avoiding affiliates and unreliable sources - Wiki: great, but boring to read, too much information

What I love is Kurzgesagt: 1. Concise 2. Visually appealing (dopamine-inducing, as I call it) 3. Fact-checked, so I can trust it 4. Up-to-date

I'd love a 5-minute Kurzgesagt video for every question I have, like "How do I hire a marketer?" or "Is it bad to eat bananas every day?" (this question was on my mind the other day).

So, I made an MVP — trying to generate Kurzgesagt-like content for any prompt I have. My current MVP nails the first two principles (concise & beautiful). The other two are achievable, but it'll take longer.

These are the articles I like most: - https://explore.eightify.app/Universe - https://explore.eightify.app/Black-Holes - https://explore.eightify.app/Psychedelics - https://explore.eightify.app/Yoga

Also, you can order your own article. I am now starting the generation machine, so please complete this form if you want one: https://forms.gle/UkjRJCTUA8Fay4Vb7

Before I go any further, I'd love to hear your thoughts: - Do you like the idea? - Would you find it helpful? - What do you think should be my next step and why?

I love the use of AI-generated imagery. Typography could be better though, but that's subjective.

Can you suggest some cool typography examples? Also, if you could explain a bit about what's wrong with the typography, I'd appreciate it.
