This tool sends your text to Groq’s API (via our own server, not directly from your browser) to generate a result — Groq runs open-weight AI models on its own hardware. It is not stored in our database. This is different from most tools on this site, which run entirely in your browser with nothing ever leaving your device — the “How This Works” section below explains why this one needs to.

Your text is sent to Groq's API (running an open-weight AI model) to generate a result — unlike this site's other tools, it does leave your browser, via our server. It is not stored in our own database. See Groq's own API data-use policy for how they handle it.

How This Tool Works

This tool sends your code to Groq’s llama-3.1-8b-instant model with instructions to explain what it does, step by step, in plain English. Works with any programming language. Useful for learning to read unfamiliar code — but like any AI explanation, verify anything you’re relying on for a real decision (e.g. whether code is safe to run) against the actual code yourself.
