Many tech startups struggle to explain their complex products and services to customers in a way that is easy to understand. Whether it’s a new software, AI tool, or SaaS platform, potential customers often feel overwhelmed by technical jargon, making it harder to convert interest into sales.
Today, I will show you how to use ChatGPT to break down complex technical concepts, write clear product descriptions, and create user-friendly help guides that make your startup’s offering more accessible.
By the end of this episode, you will know how to simplify technical information, make your product messaging more engaging, and improve customer understanding with AI-generated content.
Why Simplifying Technical Concepts Matters for Startups
Clear communication helps startups:
- Attract more customers by making complex products easy to understand.
- Improve onboarding by reducing customer confusion.
- Reduce support tickets by answering common technical questions upfront.
However, many startups struggle with turning technical details into customer-friendly explanations. ChatGPT can help translate complex terms into simple, engaging language.
Now, let’s go step by step on how to use ChatGPT to simplify technical content.
How to Use ChatGPT for Simplifying Technical Concepts
Step 1: Writing Clear and Engaging Product Descriptions
A great product description should:
- Avoid unnecessary jargon – Use simple, familiar terms.
- Explain benefits, not just features – Focus on what the customer gains.
- Use real-world examples – Make it relatable.
Example prompt:
"Explain cloud storage for a general audience without using technical jargon."
ChatGPT may generate:
"Cloud storage is like a digital locker for your files. Instead of saving documents and photos on your computer, you store them online, making them accessible from any device, anytime. It’s like having a magic folder that follows you everywhere!"
To refine further, ask:
"Make this explanation even more engaging and include an analogy."
Step 2: Turning Technical Features into Customer Benefits
Customers care more about what a product does for them than how it works. ChatGPT can help translate features into benefits.
Example prompt:
"Rewrite this technical feature of a cybersecurity software as a customer benefit: '256-bit encryption ensures secure data transmission.' "
ChatGPT may generate:
"Your personal and business data stays safe with bank-level security, protecting you from hackers and cyber threats."
To refine further, ask:
"Make this even more reassuring for non-technical customers."
Step 3: Creating Easy-to-Understand Help Guides and FAQs
Customers often search for simple answers when using a new product. ChatGPT can generate clear, structured responses to common questions.
Example prompt:
"Write a simple FAQ entry explaining how two-factor authentication (2FA) works."
ChatGPT may generate:
What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
"Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security when you log in. Instead of just using a password, you also enter a one-time code sent to your phone. This way, even if someone guesses your password, they can’t access your account without the code."
To refine further, ask:
"Make this explanation even simpler for users new to online security."
Step 4: Writing Customer-Friendly Email Responses to Technical Questions
When customers ask about complex features, your response should be easy to follow.
Example prompt:
"Write an email response explaining why a website is loading slowly."
ChatGPT may generate:
*"Hi [First Name],
Thanks for reaching out! Slow website loading can happen for a few reasons, like too many background processes, large images, or a weak internet connection.
Try these steps:
- Clear your browser cache.
- Check your internet speed.
- Restart your device and try again.
If the issue continues, let us know—we’re happy to help!
Best,
[Your Name]"*
To refine further, ask:
"Make this email sound even more helpful and friendly."
Example Prompts for Simplifying Technical Concepts
Writing Simple Product Descriptions
"Explain how a VPN works in a way that a 10-year-old could understand."
Turning Features into Benefits
"Rewrite this technical feature as a benefit: ‘End-to-end encryption protects user data in transit and at rest.’"
Creating Clear Help Guides
"Write a step-by-step guide for setting up a password manager."
Generating FAQ Responses
"Explain how AI chatbots work for someone with no technical background."
Writing Customer-Friendly Emails
"Draft a response explaining why a software update is necessary."
Now it is time for your action task.
Step one. Identify a technical product, feature, or concept you need to explain.
Step two. Use ChatGPT to write a simplified version of the explanation.
Step three. Convert technical features into customer benefits.
Step four. Draft an FAQ or help guide for common user questions.
Step five. Test the explanation on someone without a technical background and refine it if needed.
