# Using Jargon or Complex Language Unnecessarily Overly technical or complex language can confuse both the AI and beginner users. A prompt like “Provide insights into the synergies of cross-functional dynamics” is unnecessarily complicated. Simplify it to “Explain how different teams can work together effectively.” Clear, straightforward language helps the AI understand your request better and produces responses that are more accessible to a broader audience. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://learn-with-nathan.gitbook.io/learnwithnathan/introduction-to-prompting/common-prompting-mistakes-to-avoid/using-jargon-or-complex-language-unnecessarily.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
