FAQ

How does the analogies generator work?

Enter a concept (e.g., 'DNS', 'quantum computing', 'compounding interest') and pick a domain (cooking, sports, nature, technology, music, business, science, everyday life, kids, vehicles). The tool extracts concept keywords and renders them into built-in analogy templates in your chosen style (metaphor, simile, or short story), producing 5–10+ variations. Each analogy comes with a 'where it breaks down' honesty note so you know its limits.

What domains and styles are supported?

10 domains × 3 styles (metaphor 'X is Y', simile 'X is like Y', short story 'Imagine…'). Complexity levels: simple (kid-friendly), standard (general audience), advanced (technical depth). Audience presets: kid, teen, expert, executive. Combined, this gives thousands of distinct analogy templates.

Why does each analogy include a 'limitation' note?

Because every analogy simplifies — and simplification can mislead if taken literally. The honesty note tells you exactly where the comparison breaks (e.g., 'unlike a recipe, code doesn't always run in order'). This avoids the classic analogy trap where the listener over-extends the metaphor.

Can I use my own LLM API key for richer analogies?

Yes. The tool builds an optimal prompt (concept + domain + style + complexity + audience) and calls OpenAI or Anthropic with a key you paste — stored only in localStorage on this device. If no key is provided, the on-device template engine produces solid baseline analogies fully offline.

What extra features does this tool have compared to others?

(1) 10 domain libraries (cooking, sports, nature, technology, music, business, science, everyday, kids, vehicles). (2) 3 analogy styles (metaphor, simile, story). (3) Complexity levels (simple/standard/advanced). (4) Audience presets (kid/teen/expert/executive). (5) Concept keyword extractor. (6) 'Where it breaks down' honesty notes per analogy. (7) Explainer expansion (full paragraph). (8) Copy + Download (text/JSON/Markdown). (9) Analogy quality scorer (0-100). (10) Domain randomizer for serendipity. (11) Optional BYO-key LLM enhancement. (12) History (localStorage, last 20). (13) Shareable URL. (14) Concept presets for quick starts. (15) Multi-domain batch generation.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. All concept parsing, keyword extraction, template rendering, and honesty-note generation runs locally in your browser. Concepts never leave this device. The only network call is if you paste your own LLM API key and click 'Enhance with LLM' — that request goes directly from your browser to the LLM provider you choose.
