Benefit, not feature

Say what happens for the viewer; let the screen show how.

A feature line, AI-powered semantic search, is struck through. Below it a benefit line reads Find any message in seconds, with a check mark.AI-powered semantic search Find any message in seconds

Takeaways

  • The line is the outcome; the screen is the mechanism.
  • Write the viewer's day, not the product's internals.
  • If a line needs a diagram to make sense, it is a feature line.

What it means

The viewer buys the outcome, not the mechanism. A feature line describes the machine ("AI-powered semantic search"); a benefit line describes the viewer's day ("Find any message in seconds"). The mechanism belongs in the UI proof, where it is shown instead of read.

In a RasanAI film

Each capability line states the viewer's outcome, and the UI proof beside it shows the mechanism working. Feature words such as "AI-powered" are caught by the buzzword list and rewritten as the outcome.
