What is explainx.ai?
explainx.ai helps individuals and teams learn to use AI safely. Sentinel, currently in development, adds monitoring and safety for agent workflows. Learn through 16 free structured pathways, then master it in live workshops, bootcamps, and certifications — taught by practitioners who've trained 350,000+ learners. You also get the tools to practice on: 10,000+ agent skills, 2,000+ MCP servers, and 100,000+ AI tools.
What does Sentinel monitor?
Sentinel is the monitoring and safety layer from explainx for agent actions: shell commands, file changes, tool calls, network requests, and browser interactions. It also checks AI skills when you pull them and tracks token usage where the agent harness exposes it. The prototype is in development; join the waitlist for early access.
Is Sentinel for individuals or enterprise IT teams?
Both. Individuals get visibility into what their agents access, change, and send. Enterprise IT teams can monitor agent activity across their organization and investigate risky behavior. The first version focuses on observation and alerts, rather than automatically blocking actions.
Do I need to join the waitlist to start learning?
No. Free learning pathways are available today. The waitlist is for Sentinel early access; we'll email you when access opens. No account or payment is required to join.
Are the AI learning pathways free?
Yes. All 16 pathways — from AI Foundations to Advanced Agent Architecture — are free to read, with quizzes and an AI tutor on every article. A free account saves your progress. Start at explainx.ai/pathways.
How quickly does explainx.ai cover new AI releases?
The same week. When a new model, protocol, or tool ships, it appears in the daily bulletin within hours, gets covered in depth on the blog within days, and becomes a live workshop topic within weeks. That's the core promise: upskill on what's new in AI while it's still new.

What's included in the explainx.ai membership?
Membership is $29/month or $300/year. Annual includes everything: 4+ live workshops per year on current AI topics, every bootcamp cohort, all recordings, mock tests and certifications, free monthly course drops, the AI chatbot, and community. Monthly covers the platform features — workshops, bootcamps, certifications, and course drops are annual-only. See explainx.ai/pricing.
Are the workshops actually live?
Yes — real-time, instructor-led sessions with Q&A, not pre-recorded videos. Topics are chosen from what's shipping in AI right now. Miss a session and the recording lands in your library. Individual workshops can also be purchased without a membership.
Who teaches on explainx.ai?

What AI certifications can I prepare for?
explainx.ai offers mock tests and prep for AI certifications, including CCA (Claude Certified Architect) — timed practice exams with shuffled questions and instant scoring. Included with annual membership, or available as a one-time purchase at explainx.ai/tests.
What courses does explainx.ai offer?
50+ courses covering AI agents, Claude Code, Cursor, MCP, prompt engineering, and generative AI for business — with 350,000+ students enrolled across platforms. Browse the catalog at explainx.ai/courses.
How do I install a skill for my AI agent?
Run npx skills init to initialize the runtime in your project (~3 seconds), then run npx skills install <skill-name> to install any skill from the registry. Your agent immediately gains the new capability — no config, no conflicts.
Which agent frameworks does the skills registry support?
The Skills CLI supports 11+ agent frameworks including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Continue, Zed, and Cody. If it runs AI agents, skills can plug in.
What are MCP servers and where can I find them?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers let AI agents connect to databases, APIs, file systems, and external services. explainx.ai indexes 2,000+ MCP servers, community-ranked by adoption. Browse them at explainx.ai/mcp-servers.
Does explainx.ai offer corporate AI training?
Yes. Live, hands-on AI training for teams — delivered across 25+ industries with 5,000+ teaching hours logged. Visit explainx.ai/training or email support@explainx.ai.
