# How to Research Technical Terms with ChatGPT

ChatGPT excels at translating technical jargon into language anyone can understand. It provides the formal definition, then offers analogies and plain-language explanations at whatever level you need. Whether you are preparing a client presentation or writing accessible documentation, it finds the right level of simplicity without sacrificing accuracy.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Define this technical term" and provide the term
3. ChatGPT returns the definition with context
4. Request: "Explain this in terms a non-expert would understand"
5. Get a translation from technical to plain language

## Example Prompt

```
Define "latency" in a networking context. Give me a simple explanation I can use in a client presentation.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT excels at translating technical jargon into accessible language
- Ask for analogies that make abstract technical concepts concrete
- Request alternative terms ranked by accessibility for different audiences
