About JB Glossary
JB Glossary is a professional reference for the terms that shape healthcare, AI, law, finance, real estate, insurance, and robotics — over 7,100 definitions across seven fields. Built for the moment you're in a meeting, on a call, or reading a research note and hit a word you almost know. Look it up in two taps. Get a plain-English explanation, the precise definition, and the cross-references that take you deeper. SEVEN INDUSTRIES > Healthcare — 786 terms covering drugs, biology, mechanisms, regulation, payers, and public health > AI — 976 terms covering models, methods, silicon, and the frontier of the ML stack > Law — 836 terms covering contract, IP, tort, and US legal procedure > Finance — 722 terms covering markets, instruments, and corporate actions > Real Estate — 803 terms covering leasing, valuation, development, financing, and REITs > Insurance — 609 terms covering life, health, auto, home, commercial lines, underwriting, claims, and reinsurance > Robotics — 2,379 terms covering robots, autonomy, and embodied AI: mechanics, control, perception, motion planning, learning for robots, self-driving, drones, and industrial automation EVERY TERM, THREE WAYS • In plain English — a single jargon-free sentence for someone new to the field • The snappy definition — a precise one-liner for the working professional • The full detail — a comprehensive explanation with cross-linked related terms and sources DESIGNED FOR LOOKUP, NOT BROWSING • Industry-specific filters (oncology, regulation, ML, asset class, area of law, property type, line of business) • Cross-references between related terms are tappable links that take you term to term • Search and favorites work across every unlocked industry PRICING Letters A–D are free in every industry — a meaty ~1,900-term taster. Unlock the rest (E–Z) of any single industry with a one-time in-app purchase, or unlock all seven (plus future industries) with the master upgrade. No subscriptions. A NOTE ON USE JB Glossary is reference material. It is not medical, legal, financial, tax, real estate, insurance, engineering/safety, or investment advice. Definitions are original prose summarising publicly available authoritative sources (such as FDA, NIH, SEC, IEEE, NAIC, ISO, and US Code), written for orientation. Always consult a qualified professional before acting on terminology you find here — especially anything related to health, legal exposure, financial decisions, or safety-critical systems. --- Changes made: six → seven industries (intro, header, pricing); total 4,700 → 7,100+ definitions; added the Robotics line in the same "N terms covering…" format as the rest (2,379); taster ~1,300 → ~1,900; "all six → all seven"; disclaimer now includes engineering/safety and "safety-critical systems," plus ISO in the sources sample for robotics. It's comfortably under the App Store's 4,000-character limit.
What’s new
Version 2.2.0 · Updated June 17, 2026
New industry: Robotics 2,379 terms across robots, autonomy, and embodied AI — mechanics and actuators, kinematics and control, perception and SLAM, the learning that now drives physical action (VLA models, imitation learning, sim-to-real), plus self-driving, drones, the factory floor, and the companies building it. Browse A–D free; unlock the rest for $2.99, or get every industry with the master upgrade. Faster, smarter search — results now rank by relevance as you type, and the app feels snappier throughout.
