 ## What is Airbyte?
 
-Airbyte is an open-source data movement infrastructure for building extract and load (EL) data
-pipelines. It is designed for versatility, scalability, and ease-of-use.

+There are three major components to know in Airbyte: 
 
 1. **The connector catalog**
-   - **350+ pre-built connectors**: Airbyte’s connector catalog comes “out-of-the-box” with over 350
-     pre-built connectors. These connectors can be used to start replicating data from a source to a
-     destination in just a few minutes.
-   - **No-Code Connector Builder**: You can easily extend Airbyte’s functionality to support your
-     custom use cases through tools like the
-     [No-Code Connector Builder](/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/overview).
-2. **The platform:** Airbyte’s platform provides all the horizontal services required to configure
-   and scale data movement operations, available as
-   [cloud-managed](https://airbyte.com/product/airbyte-cloud) or
-   [self-managed](https://airbyte.com/product/airbyte-enterprise).
-3. **The user interface:** Airbyte features a UI,
-   [**PyAirbyte**](/using-airbyte/pyairbyte/getting-started) (Python library),
-   [**API**](/api-documentation), and [**Terraform Provider**](/terraform-documentation) to
-   integrate with your preferred tooling and approach to infrastructure management.
-
-Airbyte is suitable for a wide range of data integration use cases, including AI data infrastructure
-and EL(T) workloads. Airbyte is also [embeddable](https://airbyte.com/product/powered-by-airbyte)
-within your own application or platform to power your product.

-## Why an open-source data movement infrastructure?
+Airbyte is suitable for a wide range of data integration use cases, including AI data infrastructure and EL(T) workloads. Airbyte is also [embeddable](https://airbyte.com/product/powered-by-airbyte) within your own application or platform to power your product.
 
-Today, teams and organizations require efficient and timely data access to an ever-growing list of
-data sources. In-house data pipelines are brittle and costly to build and maintain. How many times
-have we been in this situation?
+## For Airbyte Cloud users

+Browse the [connector catalog](/integrations/) to find the connector you want. In case the connector is not yet supported on Airbyte Cloud, consider using [Airbyte Open Source](#for-airbyte-open-source-users).
 
-Closed-source solutions are inflexible, and will always often still require complimentary in-house
-solutions. So at this point, investing in such solutions is just postponing the moment you’ll pile
-up very costly data pipeline technical debts. Is there a way to have a scalable and efficient data
-movement infrastructure that will enable your data team to be successful? That’s why we created
-Airbyte.
+Next, check out the [step-by-step tutorial](/using-airbyte/getting-started) to sign up for Airbyte Cloud, understand Airbyte [concepts](/using-airbyte/core-concepts), and run your first sync.
 
-## Getting Started
+## For Airbyte Open Source users
 
-There are 4 products to Airbyte:
+Browse the [connector catalog](/integrations/) to find the connector you want. If the connector is not yet supported on Airbyte Open Source, [build your own connector](/connector-development/).
