Tell AI About Your Text

Give AI the right facts to explain everyday text. You do this without pasting private details. You learn what facts help. You learn what to leave out. You learn how to ask for a clearer answer.

Building on what you know

A few good facts make the answer clearer.

Last time, you asked AI to explain a piece of text. AI means a smart computer helper. Today you make its answer fit you better.

When an answer feels too broad, AI is often missing a few small facts. Broad means general, not quite about your thing.

Two facts help the most. Tell AI what kind of text it is. Then say the one thing you need to know.

What you needthe main point, a word meaning, the next step

One rule keeps you safe. Leave out anything private.

Skip names, account numbers, passwords, addresses, phone numbers, and bill amounts.

For medical, legal, money, account, or safety papers, check with a real person at the real source. That means call the office or store that sent it.

Pick a short, low-risk text to practice on. A return rule or a care label is perfect.
