Use AI to turn confusing jargon or technical language into plain English your audience will actually understand.
1. Copy the text that feels too technical, jargony, or confusing—whether it's something you wrote, received from a specialist, or need to explain to others. 2. Paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to rewrite the content in plain, everyday language that anyone can understand. Specify your audience: your team, your boss, a client, or someone outside your field. 3. Review the simplified version. If any part still feels unclear or too vague, ask AI to explain that section differently or add a simple example to make it concrete. 4. Use the plain-language version in your email, presentation, or document. If you're explaining something technical to non-experts, this ensures your message lands clearly instead of confusing people. 5. For ongoing communication, ask AI to create a quick glossary or cheat sheet of the most common jargon terms translated into plain English, so you can reference it anytime you need to simplify complex language quickly.
