📘

Academic Jargon

Textbook language is optimised for precision, not accessibility. First-year students often can't parse a definition that the textbook takes for granted.

🌍

ESL Students

Non-native English speakers follow the content but lose a paragraph when a single phrase is dense. A plain-English version unlocks the rest.

🧩

Complex Concepts

Some answers have to be precise - but the same concept can be explained two ways. Forcing the precise one first is a barrier many students don't get past.

What You Get

👆

One-Click Rephrase

Every bot answer has an Explain Simpler button. One click, five seconds, simpler version - no re-typing the question.

🎯

Preserves Accuracy

The LLM is instructed to rephrase, not approximate. Facts, formulas and technical terms stay identical; only sentence structure and vocabulary change.

🚫

Not Dumbed Down

Explain Simpler isn't 'for children' - it's the same content in everyday language. Useful for any learner, not just beginners.

🌍

3 Languages

Works in English, Hebrew and Russian. The plain-language version stays in the student's detected language.

💬

Inline in Chat

The simpler version appears as a follow-up message in the same chat - not a pop-up or a new page. Students keep reading without breaking flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the simpler version lose accuracy?
No. The prompt explicitly instructs the model to rewrite sentence structure, not the underlying content. Equations, citations and technical terms are preserved verbatim; only vocabulary and phrasing change.
Is this really different from just asking 'explain again'?
Yes. 'Explain again' often produces a new answer that drifts in content. Explain Simpler specifically targets phrasing and vocabulary, anchored to the original answer. It's a rephrase, not a retry.
Can students abuse it to get hints for their exam?
Only if they've already got the exam question in the chat - which is a broader Academic Integrity question, not an Explain Simpler one. Quiz Mode and Exam Simulation are the proper practice channels; the plain bot is for learning.
Does the button appear on every answer?
It's on every answer by default. Lecturers can disable it per course if plain-language mode isn't appropriate for the learning goals (e.g. a legal-terminology course where precise phrasing is the point).
Does it work in Hebrew and Russian?
Yes. The simpler version stays in the student's detected language, so a Hebrew-speaking student gets a simpler Hebrew version, not an English one.
