✨ Why Chonkie?

Most AI products today don’t fail because of the model. They fail because they’re fed disorganized, bloated, or incomplete data. The results in wrong answers, slow performance, and expensive bills. There are some existing tools that try to address this, however they are either:

  • πŸ”» Too slow or bloated
  • 🧱 Too barebones β€” feels like reinventing the wheel every time

So they built Chonkie β€” fast, lightweight, and comprehensive.
