Picking up where we left off
Now let's feed ChatGPT the right facts.
Last time you picked the form you wanted. You asked for a list, not a long paragraph.
Today you do one more thing. You add a few small facts.
Facts are just true bits about your task. The day. The place. Who it is for.
With those facts, the answer fits your real life. Not a stranger's. Yours.
Think about four small things before you hit send:
The taskwhat you want help with
Who it's foryou, a friend, or a small group
One limitunder 80 words, or 5 items
A safe fact or twothe day, the place, what to bring
Leave out anything private. No account numbers, no home address, no money details.
Skip the big stuff too. For health, money, legal, account, or safety, ask a real person you trust.
Buddy says
More facts, better fit. But only safe ones. When in doubt, leave it out.
