What it is

About Plain AI

Plain AI tests AI models on the work businesses actually do, and writes up what it finds for the people who decide: which model is most accurate, which costs what, and where the cheap ones fall short. Published benchmarks cover invoice processing, resume screening, contract review and translation.

Around the benchmarks sits a guide to practical AI: a leaderboard, a directory of AI tools with ratings, shortlists by job (generate images, build a website, automate workflows), use cases from teams that automated their work, and weekly AI news.

Have a process of your own? Plain AI will test AI models on it and publish the results.
