About FiveMins
The story behind EI Signal Stories
Senthil Chidambaram
Founder
I've spent years working at the intersection of data, AI, and systems — building architectures, decoding complexity, and watching intelligent systems scale faster than human understanding.
Somewhere along the way, a simple question kept returning:
Why do the most important ideas fade so quickly, while simple stories stay with us for life?
I realized the problem wasn't intelligence. It was translation.
We explain ideas too often — with slides, formulas, and frameworks — and then wonder why they don't stick. But the ideas that shape us most don't arrive as explanations. They arrive as moments. Scenes. Stories.
That insight became FiveMins.
Our Belief
Stories aren't decoration. They're infrastructure for memory and meaning.
Here, research papers and AI concepts aren't simplified — they're reimagined. Not to teach, but to reveal why they matter to how we think, decide, and care.
EI Signal Stories
I write and curate EI Signal Stories — simple narratives that translate deep ideas into lived experiences.
Five minutes to feel. Much longer to carry.
This isn't about learning faster.
It's about remembering better.
