BEHIND THE BENCH / A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Explain It Better
Reshape an explanation for the person who needs to understand it.
When it helps
Your explanation is accurate but assumes more context than the reader has, or buries their main concern.
What to bring
Up to 6,000 characters of source text and a choice of audience. Custom Audience lets you describe the actual reader.
What happens
Selecting Explain sends the source and audience to AI. It produces an audience-focused explanation and explains its changes. Load sample inserts a fictional source; it does not generate a result until you select Explain.
What you leave with
A fuller explanation, a short version, preserved points and cautions. Compare with Original, copy the version you need, then edit it in your own document. Try another audience keeps the source available.
Illustrative structure using the built-in fictional sample
A short example
Input. Fictional sample: a nightly sync moves from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.; Friday's changeover may leave reports four hours behind; normal reporting is expected Saturday morning. Audience: Customer.
Result. Lead with the temporary reporting delay, explain when normal service is expected, then state what affected readers should do. Keep the timing and conditions from the source.
Example only. AI wording can vary; this is not an interactive result.
Why it works this way
The same information needs different framing for different readers. Choosing an audience first makes the rewrite purposeful, while keeping Original available gives you a way to check what changed.
Your judgment stays in the loop
Check every fact, date, number and promise against the original. Audience-friendly wording must not remove a condition or create a guarantee.
Current practical limits
The source is not independently fact-checked. Results are not directly editable in this prototype; copy them to edit elsewhere. AI can change meaning despite its preservation notes. No message is sent to the intended reader.
