New to this? What's a prompt?

A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Monitor swimming-lesson availability for my child and automatically book a suitable slot when one opens. Use the preferences I already put on the Asana task (level, schedule windows, location). Confirm in Asana when booked, and do not book outside those windows.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Gemini Grok Claude

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini and Claude open empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Watch lesson availability and book only when my rules match.

Questions to ask me first:
- Child level and preferred days?
- Max price and location?
- How should I be notified?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Level: [CLASS]
- Windows: [DAYS / TIMES]
- Location: [POOL]
- Notify: [ASANA / MESSAGE]

Rules:
- Book only inside my windows.
- Never pay a premium tier I did not approve.
- Confirm the booking details back to me.
- Stop after one successful book unless I say otherwise.

Checkpoint: Restate the booking rules before monitoring starts.

If you get stuck: If the site blocks bots, alert me with the open slot to book manually.

Verify before you finish: Booking matches level, window, and location.

Output: Confirmation with time, place, and reference.

Done when: The lesson is held without me refreshing the signup page.

Outcome

Among Hermes household automations, sksksk assigned a task to book swimming lessons for a child. Hermes monitored lesson availability and automatically booked when a suitable slot opened—an example of handing an Asana-style task to the agent instead of watching the signup page by hand.
