New to AI? Five short, plain-language explainers on language models, chatbots, agentic AI, open weight models and sovereign AI: what each one is, why it matters for development, and where it's already being used.
Practical, step-by-step guides for putting AI to work in development settings — starting with the tools on OASIS.

New to AI? Five short, plain-language explainers on language models, chatbots, agentic AI, open weight models and sovereign AI: what each one is, why it matters for development, and where it's already being used.

A walkthrough from your first search to building a portfolio synthesis — how to ask good questions, follow the evidence back to source, and pull lessons across many reports.

How to phrase questions, narrow filters, and read the results well — so you get from a broad question to a defensible answer across the IATI activity data.

We host free and open source tools built for the development sector. We can put your code on our GitHub, talk about hosting the full tool, or link to where it lives, then write a case study and reach out to the people most likely to use it.
