Can I ask ChatGPT to make the answer shorter?
You will ask ChatGPT to shorten an answer so it is easier to read.
Yes. If an answer feels too long, you can ask for less.
Just say you want it shorter. ChatGPT will cut it down for you.
You can keep asking until it feels right. There is no wrong way to ask.
Try this
- Read as much of the long answer as you like.
- Type a short message asking for less.
- Ask for just the main points.
- Read the shorter reply.
A message you can copy
That was a bit long for me. Please give me a much shorter answer with just the main points, in simple words.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

You can ask for a list or just three sentences. Ask for what helps you.
