The store flyer lands on Thursday, dinner ideas run out by Tuesday, and the grocery bill keeps creeping up.

This week's sale flyer, or a screenshot of it. Paste this with it attached:

"Here's this week's sale flyer from my grocery store. Plan [number] dinners for [number] people using as many sale items as possible. Each dinner should take under [time] minutes. We don't eat [foods to avoid]. Then give me one shopping list sorted by store section, and mark which items are on sale. Use leftovers from one dinner in another where you can."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. All three read photos and PDFs. Snap the flyer in good light so the prices are readable.

The suitcase is open on the bed, the weather looks unsure, and you just know the charger is staying home again.

Where you're going, for how long, and what you'll be doing. Paste this with them filled in:

"I'm going to [place] for [number] nights in [month]. I'll be [what you're doing, like a wedding, hiking, work meetings]. I'm packing [carry on only or a checked bag]. Check the usual weather for that place and time of year, then make a packing list sorted into clothes, toiletries, tech, and documents. Plan outfits I can mix and match. Finish with the five things people most often forget on a trip like this."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Turn on web search if you want the actual forecast for your dates.

It's been a long time since you did long division, and the way they teach it now isn't the way you learned it.

A photo of the homework page and your child's grade. Paste this with the photo attached:

"Here's my child's homework. They're in grade [number]. Don't give me the answers. Explain how to solve the first problem in simple steps I can say out loud at the kitchen table, the way schools teach it today. Give me two questions I can ask to help them think it through, and one similar practice problem with the answer so I can check their work."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. All three read photos. Crop out your child's name before you upload.

The gutters are full, the furnace hasn't run since spring, and somewhere outside there's a hose still attached to the tap.

Your type of home and where you live. Paste this with them filled in:

"I live in a [house, townhouse, apartment] in [city]. It was built around [year] and has [heating type]. Make a fall checklist of everything I should do before the first freeze. Sort it into this weekend, this month, and call a pro. Give a rough time for each task and mark the ones that save the most money on heating or prevent the most expensive damage."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Add a photo of your furnace label if you want filter sizes and model tips.

The email is fine. It's also obviously not you. Nobody you know has ever said "I hope this message finds you well."

Three messages you wrote yourself. Paste this with them included:

"Here are three messages I wrote myself: [paste them]. Describe how I write in five short points, like sentence length, words I use, and how I open and close. Then rewrite the draft below so it sounds like me, not like an assistant. Keep it the same length or shorter. Draft: [paste draft]."

Model: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. Save the five points and paste them before any future draft.

Rule of thumb: If you wouldn't say it out loud to the person, cut it.
