Explain Something Like I Am New
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can get a true beginner explanation of any topic.
The problem
Most explanations assume you already know the basics, leaving beginners lost.
What this skill does
Ask the AI to explain a topic as if you are completely new, with no assumed knowledge. It starts from the ground up in plain words. You can ask follow-ups for any part that is still fuzzy.
When to use it
- Use this when you are starting from zero on a new subject.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: there is no shame in starting from zero. That is where every expert began.
