Everyday life prompts

Prompts for the small jobs of daily life: meals, trips, budgets, letters, gifts, chores, repairs and tricky conversations.

These everyday prompts handle the small jobs that fill a week: planning meals and a shopping list, cooking with what is left in the fridge, building a trip itinerary, packing, setting up a simple budget, writing a complaint, choosing a gift, splitting chores, troubleshooting something at home, preparing for a difficult conversation and learning a few phrases before you travel.

Fill in the [square-bracket] blanks with your own situation: how many people, your budget, dietary needs, dates and preferences. The more you share, the more the answer will fit your life rather than an average household. Click Copy to keep a prompt for later, or "Use in chat" to open it in ChatG and change anything before you send it.

The chat is good at lists, plans and wording, but it can't check today's prices, opening hours, train times or product availability, and its information may be out of date. Confirm anything you will rely on with the official source. For health, legal or money questions, use the answers as general information and talk to a qualified professional before making decisions. When a prompt asks for safety notes, such as with repairs or exercise, keep that part in. Translating a message or a sign? The Translator is quicker, and the Email Writer helps with formal messages.

How to adapt these prompts

  • List your constraints first: budget, time, allergies, mobility, who is involved.
  • Ask for a shorter or simpler version if the plan feels like too much.
  • Save useful chats by pinning them, such as a weekly meal plan you reuse.
  • Ask follow-ups like "swap the fish dish" or "make day three more relaxed".

The Chef and Travel assistants keep this style for a whole conversation.
