Frequently Asked Questions

Relatable is an AI-powered learning app that explains complex topics through everyday analogies. Instead of textbook definitions, you get explanations that actually click — whether that's understanding quantum physics through a cooking analogy or economics through video game logic.

Just type any topic you want to understand, choose an AI persona (like a Gen Z Teen, Medieval Knight, or Sports Coach), and get an instant explanation tailored to your style. Relatable uses advanced AI models to translate complex concepts into something you already know and understand.

Personas are different explanation styles powered by AI. Each persona has a unique voice, vocabulary, and analogy set. A 'Gossip Columnist' might explain DNA through celebrity drama, while a 'Sports Coach' uses game strategies. You can also create your own custom persona with Pro.

Learning paths are curated sequences of topics designed to build understanding progressively. For example, the 'Science Basics' path takes you from atoms to ecosystems, while 'Money Matters' covers personal finance from compound interest to the stock market. Each path includes quizzes and infinite expansion so you can keep going deeper.
