Add only the facts AI needs

Step 1 of 6

Building on last time

You gave ChatGPT a role and a job. Now add facts.

Last time you told ChatGPT who to be and what to do. Today you add one more thing: a few facts.

A fact is a small detail that changes the answer. You add only the ones that help. A fact like "two nights" changes a packing list. "My favorite color" does not.

One rule keeps you safe. Leave private details out. That means no passwords, no account numbers, no home address, and no private records.

For health, money, legal, or safety choices, use ChatGPT for the wording only. Then ask a real person you trust.

Buddy says

A fact earns its place only if it changes the answer. If it doesn't, leave it out.

The simple test

Ask one question of each fact.

Before you add a fact, ask yourself one thing: "Would this change the answer?"

Keep the facts that do. Drop the facts that don't. It really is that simple.

Here is a packing list with four facts. Three of them help. One does not:

Helpstwo nights, rainy weather, going by car

Does not helpfavorite color is green

What if every fact feels useful? Then keep your top three. Leave the rest out.

Buddy says

Fewer, better facts beat a long, crowded list. Three is plenty for most asks.

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Role: act as a packing helper. Job: make a short packing list. Facts: two nights, rainy weather, going by car. Keep it plain.

What the AI sends back

Here is your list: rain jacket, umbrella, two changes of clothes, sturdy shoes, phone charger, toiletries, snacks for the drive, and a phone holder for the car.

Watch how three facts shaped the list. Rainy weather added the rain gear. Two nights set the clothes. The car drive added snacks. No private details were needed.

You did it

You know which facts to add, and which to leave out.

A fact belongs only if it changes the answer. Keep three at most.
Use safe labels like "my clinic" or "the repair shop." Never paste passwords, account numbers, addresses, or private records.
For health, money, legal, or safety choices, use ChatGPT for the wording only. Then ask a real person.

Buddy says

You kept it useful and safe at the same time. That's a real, lasting skill. Well done!
