Tell AI what you need from the photo

Step 1 of 6

Opening your saved place…

Give the photo a purpose

Tell AI what you want to find out.

The same photo can lead to more than one useful question. You might want the label copied or a list for two kits. Say which task you mean.

Add facts you know that the image does not show. Keep guesses out. You do not need a fixed number of facts; include what the task needs.

A box label is a source for what the label says. It is not a check of the real contents, product quality or whether an item is safe to use.

A clear purpose helps you judge the answer.

Source plus task

Keep visible facts and extra facts distinct.

First, read the source you can check. Next, say what you want AI to do with it. If you add a fact, say where it came from or mark it as a plan.

If a needed detail is missing, leave it open. Ask for that gap to be named, not filled by a guess. More context can help, but it does not promise a correct reply.

Compare the result with the photo and any facts you added. If the task uses a sum, check the sum too. A right copy can still lead to a wrong total.

SourceOne kit’s label lists 2 pens, 1 notebook and 3 cards.

PlanI want to make two kits with those listed counts.

CheckDouble each listed count; do not claim either box was opened.

A short request is enough when it includes the needed facts. Do not add a private record to make a simple label task sound more complete.

A purpose beyond copying

Make a list for two kits.

Made-up plan using this label: make two kits, each with the listed counts. The photo shows one closed box. The plan is an added fact; the real contents have not been checked.

Closed brown box. Its label reads CRAFT KIT, 2 PENS, 1 NOTEBOOK, 3 CARDS. — AI-made practice image. The box is closed; its contents are not shown.

Example message

Use this label to plan two kits, each with the listed counts. Give three lines headed Pens, Notebooks and Cards. Double each count. End with one line saying this is a plan from the label, not a check of the contents.

An example AI reply

Pens: 4 Notebooks: 2 Cards: 6 This is a plan from the label, not a check of the contents.

The sums are 2 plus 2, 1 plus 1, and 3 plus 3. Check all three. Neither the photo nor this plan proves the boxes contain those items.

Add a task and check its sums

Plan three kits from the listed counts.

The label lists 2 pens, 1 notebook and 3 cards per kit. You plan to make three kits with those counts. Write Request, List and Check. Mark the real contents as unknown.

Your practice box, just for you. Your draft saves in this browser. This box is not AI. Leave private details out.

Add each count three times: pens 2 plus 2 plus 2, notebooks 1 plus 1 plus 1, cards 3 plus 3 plus 3.

Start with a few words, or look at the example first.
