What do they actually mean?

Paste government language, an email, a sentence from a briefing, or an acronym. We’ll help translate it into plain English, or run it the other way, and watch a clear sentence disappear.

Or try one of these

Do not paste classified, protected, personal or otherwise sensitive government information. Translation, analysis and search all run in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you press an AI button. Those are marked ✨ AI and always ask first.

Or run it backwards

Type something plain and watch it turn into government-speak, one layer at a time. It is a joke, and it is also the clearest argument for plain language you will see today.
