Human View Machine View

Human View is the term as people read it. Machine View is exactly what an AI agent receives.

This is the page you're already on. The Human View toggle above shows it in full.

This is exactly what an AI agent receives. The same record, as JSON-LD, below.

Use this record in your app or agent

CLI 
di get-glossary --slug accelerated-processing-unit-apu
REST 
GET https://api.decisioninsights.ai/api/public/v1/glossary/2bdffd2a-b7bb-47e4-9504-b7998fd45c3e
Test via MCP 
curl -X POST https://mcp.decisioninsights.ai/api/mcp-public \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"arguments":{"slug":"accelerated-processing-unit-apu"},"name":"di_get_term"}}'

The CLI command and the REST call for this record need a free account: run di login, or send your OAuth token. Over MCP it is free with none.

Connect your agent over MCP REST API and CLI docs

A green key on the record, left, is one Decision Insights added. It doesn't exist on the company's site or in a wire feed. The same key labels its row on the right, so you can match them directly. More on how DI enriches a record.

The record

This is what the machine sees: the exact JSON-LD an agent receives for this listing.

What we add

Graph

A glossary entry defines a term and stops there. It doesn't show where the term is actually being used or written about. We track and link every article that covers it.
