## 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 inkbox-ai-content-studio-dumb-down-680f359c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you dumb down this paragraph so anyone can understand it, even without a technical background: 'The mitochondria utilize oxidative phosphorylation to synthesize adenosine triphosphate, serving as the primary energy currency of eukaryotic cells.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to reduce the complexity of technical, academic, legal, or jargon-heavy text for a broader or less-expert audience. Prefer this over a general rewrite endpoint when the explicit goal is readability and accessibility rather than tone, style, or length changes.

- Empty or blank text input — may return an error or empty result
