1. Fridge-to-Dinner. "Here is what I have in my kitchen: [LIST INGREDIENTS]. Suggest three dinners I can make in under 30 minutes using mostly these items. For each one, list any missing ingredient, the steps in order, and one way to make it simpler on a tired night."
2. Calm Reply to a Tense Message. "I received this message: [PASTE MESSAGE]. I feel [FEELING]. Draft a reply that is calm, clear and kind, keeps my boundary of [BOUNDARY], and is under 80 words. Then give me a softer and a firmer version."
3. Plain-English Explainer. "Explain [DOCUMENT, BILL OR TOPIC] to me as if I am smart but new to it. Use short sentences, define every term, and end with three questions I should ask a qualified person."
4. Decision Helper. "I am deciding between [OPTION A] and [OPTION B]. What matters most to me is [PRIORITIES]. Ask me up to five questions first, one at a time. Then lay out the trade-offs in a simple table."
5. Meeting Notes to Action List. "Turn these rough meeting notes into a clean summary: [PASTE NOTES]. Give me three key decisions, action items with owner and due date in a table, and open questions. Flag anything unclear instead of guessing."
6. Email Tone Fixer. "Rewrite this email so it sounds [PROFESSIONAL / WARMER / MORE DIRECT] without changing the facts: [PASTE EMAIL]. Keep it under [NUMBER] words and put the main request in the first two lines."
7. Prioritize My Day. "Here is my to-do list: [PASTE LIST]. I have [HOURS] hours today and my most important goal this week is [GOAL]. Sort the list into Do Now, Schedule, Delegate and Drop, with one line on each choice."
8. Week of Meals on a Budget. "Plan five weeknight dinners for [NUMBER] people with a grocery budget of about [AMOUNT]. Reuse ingredients across meals so little goes to waste. Give me one combined shopping list grouped by store section."
9. Gift Idea Finder. "Help me pick a gift for my [RELATIONSHIP] who enjoys [INTERESTS] and dislikes [DISLIKES]. My budget is [AMOUNT]. Give me eight ideas across items, experiences and homemade options."
10. Fact Check the Answer. "List every factual claim in your last answer. For each, say how confident you are and where I could verify it with an original source."
Tip: fill every [BRACKET] with real details, and check facts before you rely on an answer.
