Ask for the form you need

Step 1 of 5

Building on your last win

Now let's pick the form.

Last time you sent a small ask and read your answer. Nice work.

Today you add one small thing. You tell ChatGPT what shape the answer should take.

An answer can come in four plain forms. Pick the one that is easy to use:

Short textgood for a message or a note

A checklistgood for things to bring

Stepsgood for a how-to

Questionsgood for a phone call

One rule keeps you safe. Don't use ChatGPT for health, money, legal, account, or safety problems. Ask a real person for those. And leave out anything private. That means no names, no addresses, and no account numbers.

Buddy says

Pick just one form. One clear form is easier to use than a mix.

Watch one line name the form.

A quick, vague try

give me ideas for a weekend visit

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Help me plan a weekend visit to a friend. Give the answer as a checklist of things to bring. Keep it short and plain.

What the AI sends back

Things to bring: - A small gift, like flowers - Comfy clothes and shoes - Phone charger - A book or game to share - Any snacks you'd like

Both asks are about the same trip. But the second one names the form. "Give the answer as a checklist" is all it takes. The answer comes back ready to use, so you can stop reading and start packing.

Your turn, no wrong answers

Ask for one form you need.

Type a small, safe ask. Then add one line that names the form: short text, a checklist, steps, or questions. Leave out anything private.

Your practice box, just for you. What you type here stays on this page. It is not the AI.

Stuck? Say what you want, then add "Give the answer as a checklist."

Type anything in the box, even a few words. There is no wrong answer here. Then this opens.

It opens right next to this page, so you never lose your spot. Come back any time. Nothing here disappears.
