Choose details that help the task

Step 1 of 6

Opening your saved place…

Give useful context

Choose details for the result you want.

A packing list needs the items and counts. A reminder needs the event details. Let the job guide what you include.

A useful fact may still be private. Review the details before sharing them with ChatGPT or writing them in the practice box. Made-up details are fine here.

Keep the details that let you check the result.

Facts and preferences

Decide what must stay and what can change.

An item count is a fact to keep. “One item per line” is a form you prefer. Clear instructions can include both.

Do not drop a needed fact just to keep a prompt short. Leave out unrelated details, and check whether the reply followed each important part.

FactsThree books, a tote bag and two pens.

FormOne item per line.

LimitUse only the supplied items.

A complete comparison

Check the items and their counts.

Made-up packing notes: three books, a tote bag and two pens.

Example message

Turn these notes into a packing list, one item per line: three books, a tote bag and two pens. Use only these items and keep their counts.

An example AI reply

- Three books - A tote bag - Two pens

All three entries match the notes. Both counts are kept, with no extra item. This checks the supplied list; it does not prove you have everything you need for a real event.

Choose what matters

Give this list its facts and form.

Made-up task: Pack a folder, four sheets of paper and two pens. Ask for one item per line, keeping all counts and adding no items.
