Make the Compare Fit You

Step 1 of 6

Picking up where you left off

Now make the compare fit your life.

Last time you asked ChatGPT to weigh two choices. Now you make that answer truly yours.

A compare answer only helps if it fits your money and your needs. ChatGPT cannot guess these. So you tell it three small facts:

One top limitthe most you can spend, as a range

2 to 3 must-haveswhat a choice has to do for you

One deal-breakerthe one thing that rules a choice out

One rule keeps you safe. Leave out anything private. No account numbers, no full address.

And the final money, health, legal, safety, or account choice is not ChatGPT's to make. Ask a real person you trust.

Buddy says

Three small facts is plenty. You do not need a long list to get a good answer.

Stay safe first

Strip the private parts before you type.

It is tempting to paste a whole bill or price quote. Those hold private facts about you.

ChatGPT does not need them to compare. So take them out first:

Cross outaccount numbers and card numbers

Cross outyour full street address

Swap ingeneral words, like "my area" or "a quote I got"

Renata had a paper quote with her name, account number, and home address. She did not paste it.

She typed only this: "one plan is around 28 a month in my area." When in doubt, she left it out.

Buddy says

If a fact feels private, leave it out. Give a general fact instead, like "my area," not your real street.

A quick, vague try

which used car is better?

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Compare these two used cars: a 2015 sedan and a 2016 hatchback. My limit: around 6,000 dollars. My must-haves: under 100,000 miles, four doors, good gas mileage. My deal-breaker: no car with a salvage title. Which fits me better, and what should I check before I commit?

What the AI sends back

The hatchback has a salvage title, so I would rule it out. The sedan fits your limit and your must-haves. Before you commit, have a real mechanic check it, and ask to see the service records.

Same idea, but the second one gives a budget range, must-haves, and a deal-breaker. No private details. And the final call stays yours.

You did it

You made the answer fit your real life.

Add three small facts: one top limit as a range, 2 to 3 must-haves, and one deal-breaker.
Strip private details first. No account numbers, no full address. When in doubt, leave it out.
ChatGPT can be wrong. For the final money, health, legal, safety, or account choice, ask a real person.

Now the answer fits you, not a stranger, and you kept your private facts safe. Lovely work!
