Decision-grade AI terms. Zero fluff.
This is not a blog. It’s a governed reference library: plain-English first, technical second, and practical “use/ignore/risk” so you can move fast without guessing.
How to use this hub
Start with the Decision Box
Use it to decide if the term matters for your current build. If it’s “ignore,” move on.
Read Simple → Technical
Get the concept in plain English first, then learn the implementation details only if needed.
Follow the Term Flow
Prereqs → next concepts → common confusions. This prevents “learning drift.”
Quick router
If you’re not sure what you need, start with the problem you’re solving.
Retrieval & Grounding
Build systems that pull the right context so AI answers with evidence instead of vibes.
Agents & Workflows
Turn chat into repeatable execution: steps, tools, memory, and bounded decisions.
Governance & Risk
Compliance, provenance, and “what to do when uncertain” so the system refuses instead of lying.
Find what you need (fast)
Use your browser search on this page
When you build a lot, you don’t browse — you target.
Governance before “helpful”
If an AI always answers, it’s not smart — it’s confident. These rules force the system to pause or refuse when evidence is missing.
Learning Center (execution guides)
Term pages explain what something is. Learning Center guides show how to implement it without stepping on rakes.
Build a basic RAG pipeline
A start-to-finish walkthrough: chunk → embed → store → retrieve → answer.
Choose a vector database
Decision criteria: scale, cost, latency, filters, hybrid search, ops.
Agent safety checklist
How to keep tool-using agents from becoming expensive chaos.
Recommended build order (don’t drift)
- Embeddings
- Chunking
- Vector Databases
- Semantic Search
- Top-K Retrieval
- Re-ranking
- AI Agent
- Agentic Workflow
- Tools / Functions
- Memory (what it is / risks)
- Evaluation
- Guardrails
AKH is “copy-first” by design: simple explanation → technical breakdown → top players → next concepts.
Start now
Pick one cluster, read 3 terms, build a small prototype. That’s how knowledge turns into leverage.
Page job: route to the right term fast. Everything else stays out of the way.
