A practical project for curious people

Use knowledge you can inspect with your AI

Ask a useful question of an existing bundle. Check its evidence and limits. Then make a small collection about something you know. Explorer helps you inspect knowledge; your chosen AI uses the material it can actually access.

  • No prior coding or linked-data knowledge assumed
  • Human browser route and host-specific AI guidance
  • Privacy and evidence decisions before upload
OKFOpen Knowledge Format: small Markdown files with machine-readable facts.
Semantic linkA named, directed connection with evidence — not just a clickable link.
GroundingGiving an AI the relevant evidence and checking that its answer stays inside it.
MCPModel Context Protocol: an optional way for an AI to request bounded context.

Try, inspect, adapt

Start with an existing example

These featured experiences and the complete catalogue share one maintained editorial source. Applications, bundles and teaching fixtures have different limits.

Government evidence for your AI

Which recorded official page explains Tax-Free Childcare, and what does the saved evidence not establish?

Submitted competition candidate: repository, data, build and deployment remain frozen. Metadata does not decide eligibility.

Tiny Coventry and Warwickshire heritage example

Which record identifies the modern Coventry cathedral, and which names help find it?

The official title and reviewed discovery names are different fields. The tiny fixture is separate from the full and synthetic products.

AI Infrastructure

How does the bundle connect MCP and Anthropic, and what does that reference assert?

A bundle about AI is not an AI service. The records retain their review and lifecycle signals.

DWP learning paths

Can you trace a claim to its source, identify missing qualifications and explain when the evidence is insufficient?

Independent teaching material. Source boundaries and legal interpretations remain uncertain; a learning pass does not establish entitlement or complete evidence.

Learn by making

An optional project course

Start with the short guides above, or continue through the full course. App creation is optional. Each stage repeats the same rhythm: explain, inspect a worked example, do one task, check it, then recall what mattered. You can stop after any checkpoint and return later.

  8. 08

    Create

    Predict, run, inspect and modify working code before making your own learning UI.

    Tested app2–6 hours

Your subject, not ours

Start with something you care about

A useful first bundle is narrow enough to review yourself: roughly 15–60 concepts and 5–15 questions.

Local life

Public services, transport, planning, heritage or local history

Culture

Music, films, books, games, sport, art or a personal collection

Study

A course topic, scientific field, historical period or reading list

Work

Policies, APIs, guidance, research papers or organisational knowledge

Private

Your own notes or records — kept local unless you have a safe sharing decision

Choose your own stopping point

Different people, useful outcomes

Consumers can finish with a sourced answer. Domain experts can check a distinction. Knowledge workers can prepare a reusable collection. Students can learn by changing a working example.

“Show me why this idea helps my subject, let me try it on a real example, and give me a check I can trust.”
Choose your audience journey

One format, many kinds of work

The same Explorer must expose both value and limits for different domains.

Data journalist

Find the exact ONS product, geography and vintage without confusing near-neighbours.

Open-data analyst

Inspect CKAN publishers, licences and resources without assuming catalogue quality.

Integration developer

Discover government APIs, then verify the real contract and access model.

Legal or policy researcher

Trace works, versions, jurisdictions and official provisions without turning discovery into advice.

Heritage educator

Create a source-backed local trail while keeping synthetic examples visibly separate.

Service designer

Connect guidance, life events and organisations without inventing eligibility or authority.

Your AI is a collaborator, not your evidence

Understand, apply, create — then verify

Understand

Ask where an answer came from

Learn identities, sources, dates, rights and uncertainty before asking the AI to make anything.

Apply

Compare expected and observed answers

Hold questions back, require record citations and count unsupported or near-neighbour answers.

Create

Read and change working code

Predict, run, investigate and modify a starter before using AI to create your personal interface.
