Explain a confusing form before you sign

Ever stare at a form or agreement and think “I should understand this… but I don’t”? Same.

Before you sign, paste the confusing parts into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok (black out names, account numbers, addresses first).

Try this:

“Explain this form like I’m not a lawyer. Tell me: (1) what I’m agreeing to, (2) any fees or deadlines, (3) what I can refuse or negotiate, (4) anything weird I should double-check. Here’s the text: [paste]”

You’re still the one who decides. AI just speaks human so you’re not guessing.
