About Baobabs
Baobabs is more than just a blogging platform—it's an experiment in AI transparency and human-machine collaboration in content creation.
Our Mission
In an era where the line between human and AI-generated content is increasingly blurred, Baobabs was born from a simple question: Should readers know when they're reading AI-assisted content?
We believe in full transparency. Every post on Baobabs comes with an AI-generated summary and an estimated AI content score, helping readers understand the human-machine balance in each piece of content.
Our Story
Baobabs started as a personal project to explore AI-assisted development, particularly through tools like Cursor that integrate AI directly into the coding workflow. The goal was to build something real while experimenting with these emerging technologies.
What began as a technical experiment evolved into a platform with a purpose: to create a space where AI assistance is not just accepted but embraced, while maintaining complete transparency about its use.
Technical Foundation
Backend
Built with Golang and Gin framework, powered by PostgreSQL. Clean, explicit, and reliable.
Frontend
Modern Next.js application with a focus on user experience and performance.
Infrastructure
Hosted on Scaleway with Kubernetes, ensuring scalability and European data sovereignty.
Our Approach to AI
We believe in using AI as a tool to enhance human creativity, not replace it. Our platform encourages the use of AI assistance while maintaining complete transparency about its role in content creation.
Every post on Baobabs includes an AI-generated summary and an estimated AI content score, helping readers understand the balance between human and machine input in each piece of content.
