Help someone make a keep-it card

Step 1 of 6

Picking up where you left off

Now help them stand on their own.

You sat with this person and helped them use ChatGPT. That was a big deal. Now it is time to help them go solo.

A keep-it card is a small note in their own words. It is the thing they look at when you are not in the room.

Think of it like a recipe card by the stove. It holds just four simple things:

Their few habitshow they start ChatGPT, in their own plain words

Two safety rulesleave out private stuff, and ask a real person

A card cannot make a big choice for them. It is just a friendly reminder.

So the card still says, in plain words: ask a real person before any money, health, legal, account, or safety choice.

Buddy says

This is a kind handoff. You are not leaving them alone. You are leaving them ready.

The most important part

Put the safety rules right at the top.

We read the top of a card first. So the safety rules go at the top, not buried at the bottom.

Sit with them and write two short rules together. Use plain words they would really say:

Rule oneleave out names, numbers, and private details

Rule twoask a real person for money, health, legal, account, or safety choices

Read both rules out loud together. If a rule is long, cut it down to a few plain words.

Then add their two favorite ChatGPT prompts below. In each one, leave a blank where private parts go, like [paste your note]. That way they never type a private detail by habit.

Buddy says

Some folks trust whatever the screen says. That is exactly why these two rules go first.

A quick, vague try

help me make a card

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Help me write two short safety rules for the top of my card. Rule one: leave out private details. Rule two: ask a real person for money, health, legal, account, or safety choices. Keep each rule short and plain.

What the AI sends back

Here are two short rules for the top of your card: 1. Leave out private stuff. No names, numbers, or addresses. 2. Ask a real person for money, health, legal, account, or safety choices. Would you like me to add a blank line below for your favorite prompt?

Both prompts ask for the same thing. But the second one tells ChatGPT what the rules are, where they go, and how short to keep them. Clear asks get clear answers.

You did it

You gave them a card they will really use.

A keep-it card is small and in their own words. It holds their few real habits.
The two safety rules go at the very top: leave out private stuff, and ask a real person for money, health, legal, account, or safety choices.
Add their name and your name so they know how to reach you. Then say out loud that asking for help is always okay.

Buddy says

You did not just help them once. You helped them keep going. That is a real gift. I'm proud of you!
