# BriefSnap ELI5 — AI Document Simplifier

> BriefSnap ELI5 — AI Document Simplifier is a paid API for AI agents from briefsnap-x402.fly.dev, paid per call via x402, $1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability briefsnap-eli5-ai-document-simplifier-8160e0c5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you give me an ELI5 explanation of this lease agreement and pull out any action items I need to deal with? Here's the text: [paste document text].

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user needs a fast, pay-per-use simplification of any arbitrary text or document — especially when they want an ELI5 explanation, a plain-English summary, or structured action items extracted from dense material. It is particularly useful for one-off or infrequent document processing tasks where a subscription-based summarization service would be overkill, and when USDC micropayment capability is already available in the agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty input body returns a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Extremely long documents may exceed token limits, causing truncation or an error
- Malformed JSON body type mismatch (e.g. sending form-data when JSON expected) causes a 400 error
- Service downtime on the fly.dev host may return 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Pay USDC, get instant AI summaries, action item extraction, and simplified explanations of any document or text.

## Output

The agent receives an AI-generated simplified explanation of the submitted text (ELI5 format), a concise summary of main points, and a list of extracted action items — all returned in a single JSON response after the $1 USDC payment is processed.
