Not Just Documentation: It's a Learning Hub

Our docs is not only about the Shinkai product, it's about explaining difficult concepts, comparing and contrasting them, and helping every user to fully understand ideas around decentralized AI.

Our mission is to make AI accessible to everybody, and we know that this is a difficult task when people are not familiarized with the common jargon of it (e.g., quantization, or parameters). Our guides are created with those in mind to make it fully accessible for everyone.

From Understanding AI Models to Comparing Them to AI Agents

When selecting an AI model to install, it may be difficult at first –if you have no prior knowledge on that topic. That is why our documentation is designed to guide you from the most basic to the most complex terms related to AI.

With comparison tables and guidelines to install models depending on your needs and devices specs, the documentation outlines the strengths of each model, helping users choose the right one for tasks ranging from casual interactions to detailed data analysis.

You will find a brief guideline explaining what AI agents are, and a comparison with traditional chatbots, or Language Learning Models (LLMs).

For more advanced users, you can find our step-by-step guidelines on how to create custom workflows –enabling users to automate repetitive document tasks like extracting data or generating summaries– in our experimental feature 'Playground', as well as how to register your Shinkai identity and connect it to your Shinkai Desktop to have access to full p2p capabilities.
