Use AI to check if your explanation actually makes sense to someone unfamiliar with the topic.
You've written an explanation, a training doc, or instructions for someone else to follow. It makes perfect sense to you — but will it make sense to them? Before you share it, paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to flag anything that assumes too much knowledge, skips steps, or uses terms your audience might not know. This is especially helpful when you're explaining something you do every day to someone who's never done it before. AI acts like a fresh pair of eyes who doesn't have your context. You'll catch the gaps before your reader gets confused, frustrated, or has to ask you five follow-up questions.

“I wrote the explanation below for someone who has never done this task before. Read it and tell me: What parts might confuse them? What steps or terms am I assuming they already know? What's missing that would help them actually follow this? [Paste your explanation here]”
