What is Simplify & When to Use Simplify

Simplify is a purpose-built tool optimized for making complex content accessible, enabling contextual understanding through plain language explanations. It works in both directions: making legal language accessible to non-legal audiences, and making technical or multidisciplinary documentation understandable for lawyers.

‍

Use Simplify for:

Client-facing explanations of legal documents or court decisions

Making regulatory requirements understandable for business teams

Explaining technical, scientific, or engineering reports for legal analysis

Breaking down financial or accounting documentation for litigation

Translating medical or healthcare documentation into legally relevant terms

Creating accessible FAQs from legal advice

Understanding IT security or software documentation for contract review

Explaining contract terms to non-legal stakeholders

‍

‍

Use Simplify when:

You need to explain complex content for understanding

Making technical legal language accessible to non-legal audiences

Making technical, scientific, or specialized documentation understandable for lawyers

Focus is on contextual understanding, not just extraction

You want to break down concepts and terminology from other disciplines

The goal is to educate, learn, or clarify, not condense

Working with a single document

No follow-up questions or iterations are needed

‍

Use Summarize instead when:

You need to condense and extract key information

Goal is a structured summary (timeline, key terms, executive summary)

You want to pull specific provisions or data points

Focus is on what's in the document, not explaining what it means

‍

Use the Assistant instead when:

You need to see how the simplification is constructed (reasoning transparency)

Simplification requires legal research or external sources

You want to combine explanation with legal analysis

You need to iterate and refine through conversation

Comparing multiple documents

Simplification requires integration with Library templates or precedents

Multi-step tasks (simplify, then analyze, then draft response)
