3 fieldsTranslate the following technical product information and messy copy into plain, everyday language that the target audience can instantly understand. Target Audience Profile: Small business owners with no technical background Technical Product Description / Feature List: Our multi-tenant SaaS platform utilizes distributed Kubernetes clusters for low-latency asynchronous data replication across edge nodes. Current Messy Copy / Jargon-Heavy Pitch: We leverage synergistic paradigms to optimize operational velocity through headless API integrations. Output Requirements: 1. A one-sentence elevator pitch using plain, everyday language. 2. A clear analogy or metaphor that makes the value immediately obvious. 3. A simplified 'Problem vs. Solution' breakdown free of industry buzzwords. Constraint Checklist & Confidence Score: - Zero hype openers, buzzwords, or marketing fluff (e.g., 'synergize', 'cutting-edge'). - Focus exclusively on user value, not backend technical implementation. - Directly address the provided inputs without making up fictional features or statistics. Provide your confidence score from 1-5, then output the translated assets.

A real example
Tested on gemini-3.1-flash-lite on 2026-09-02
{
"current_copy": "Our enterprise SaaS streamlines supply chain friction by leveraging machine learning algorithms to automate inventory replenishment via seamless API touchpoints.",
"target_audience": "Independent restaurant owners",
"product_description": "A cloud-based inventory synchronization engine with predictive ML ordering and POS webhook integration."
}A small ritual that works
How to use it
- 01Define your target audience to ensure the tone is appropriate.
- 02Paste your technical specs and the current confusing copy.
- 03Run the prompt to generate a clear pitch, analogy, and problem-solution breakdown.
- 04Review the output to ensure it aligns with your brand voice.
Why it works
The prompt enforces structural clarity by requiring a strict hierarchy: a one-sentence elevator pitch, a functional analogy, and a direct Problem vs. Solution breakdown. This forces the model to strip away complex backend terminology (such as 'multi-tenant SaaS' and 'asynchronous data replication') and map raw technical specs directly to everyday user value for a specified target audience.

Customisation tips
To adapt this prompt for different domains, modify the {{target_audience}}, {{product_description}}, and {{current_copy}} variables with precise domain inputs. You can also append industry-specific formatting constraints under the Output Requirements section if the plain-language translation needs to target a specific channel, such as an email newsletter or a landing page hero section.
Watch-outs
- Avoid using vague or overly technical text in the variable inputs, as it increases the risk of the model hallucinating features or overpromising outcomes not present in the base description.
- Monitor the output for absolute or promotional language (e.g., 'never have to worry', 'instantly'), ensuring the translation remains strictly descriptive of user value without crossing into marketing hype.
