KioskoAI publishes two things: entries on open-source data and AI tools, and learning guides about how to reach a role or understand a concept.
This page explains how it's decided what goes in and how it gets written, because a reader about to act on a technical recommendation deserves to know where it comes from.
Judgement, not volume
The value of this site isn't how many tools it catalogues: it's when it tells you not to use one.
Every entry answers what the tool is, what it's for, when it doesn't make sense to use it, and links its official documentation. We don't rewrite that documentation: a tool's source of truth is its own docs, and that's where we send you.
That's why the catalogue is closed by default. A new tool goes in only if it fills a real gap in the stack, or if readers repeatedly ask for it through the mailbox. Adding entries for the sake of it makes the site worse.
What gets catalogued
- Open source, Python-leaning. The focus is the open data stack you can install and try without a licence.
- Spanish first. The differentiator is that serious material about these tools in Spanish is scarce. The English version exists, but it isn't machine-translated: it's written.
- Tools actually used by data teams, not novelties without adoption.
How an entry is written
Six fixed, short sections: what it is, what it's for, when to use it and when not, how to start in one minute, the official documentation, and what to learn next.
If a section starts turning into a long tutorial, it gets cut and linked instead. KioskoAI orients; teaching in depth is the job of official documentation and courses, and we link to them.
How a guide is written
The guides in /aprender describe a path, not a tool. Each level says what to learn,
proposes a project that closes it, and gives a checkable criterion for knowing you
have it — not a feeling.
External resources they recommend link to their original source, and each one is checked to respond before publishing.
Review and freshness
Every entry carries a visible review date. When a tool changes in a relevant way — or stops being maintained — the entry gets corrected; it isn't left to age quietly.
If something you read is out of date or wrong, the form at the end of every guide goes straight to whoever maintains it. It's the same channel that decides what gets written next.
Who publishes
KioskoAI is an independent brand. It takes no payment from the tools it catalogues, there are no sponsored links, and there are no affiliate arrangements with the projects or the companies behind them.
The editorial content — the selection, the writing and the judgement — is its own. The catalogued tools belong to their respective projects, each under its own licence.
