Building on your first ask

Tell ChatGPT a little about your task.

Last time you sent one small ask. Nice work.

Now we make the answer fit you better.

The trick is simple. Add one or two true facts.

ChatGPT does not know your day. It cannot see your kitchen or your mail.

A small fact tells it what you need. Then the answer fits your real life.

What to knowa note to my landlord about a leaky faucet

Keep your facts general, not private. Say my landlord, not a real name.

Skip the big stuff. For money, health, legal, account, or safety problems, ask a real person. ChatGPT can be wrong.

When in doubt, leave it out. A plain word works just as well as a private one.
