Example Output
Understanding Your Credit ScoreSimple VersionYour credit score is like a "trust rating" that tells banks how likely you are to pay back money you borrow. Higher number = banks trust you more = you get better deals on loans.
Full ExplanationImagine you lend your friend $20. They pay you back the next day. You would lend to them again, right? Now imagine another friend who still owes you from 6 months ago. You would think twice.
Banks think the same way. Your credit score (a number from 300-850) is their way of checking if you are the "pays back on time" friend.
What affects it:- Payment history (35%) -- Do you pay bills on time?
- How much you owe (30%) -- Using less of your available credit is better.
Dinner Party Version"It is basically a trust score for borrowing money. Pay your bills on time, do not max out credit cards, and it stays high."Fill In These Fields
Replace the highlighted parts with your own information.
[TOPIC]What you want explained
Example: How does a credit score work and why does it matter?
[REASON]Why you need to know this
Example: I am applying for my first apartment and they asked about my credit score
[CURRENT_KNOWLEDGE]What you already know
Example: I know it is a number and higher is better, but not how it is calculated
[BACKGROUND]A bit about yourself
Example: 25 years old, first time renting on my own, no finance background
Pro Tips
- 1Follow up by asking AI "explain it even simpler" or "give me another analogy"
- 2Ask AI to explain it as if you are a specific age -- "explain like I am 12" works great
- 3Save the explanations -- they make great reference notes
- 4Use this for medical terms before or after doctor appointments
