Outcome
Sana, who has been totally blind since birth and is Global Chief Privacy Officer at WSP, uses Be My AI to get information most shopping websites don't include. Looking for a coat, Sana wanted to know whether it had a belt and what color the zippers and buttons were; the website descriptions weren't full enough, and Be My AI 'filled in the gaps'. It helps on work trips too: once, unable to find the number for hotel reception, Sana pointed the phone camera at a card near the phone and had the answer in seconds.

Prompt Recreated prompt
The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Describe this coat in detail. Does it have a belt? What color are the zippers and buttons? What else is visible that the description doesn't mention?
Try this in:
Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies 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: Tell me everything visible about this product, especially what the written description leaves out, so I can decide whether to buy it. Questions to ask me first: - What kind of product is it, and what details matter most to me (color, fastenings, fit, material)? - Am I sharing a product photo, a screenshot of the page, or a photo of the item itself? - Should you also read out the price and size options shown on the page? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Image or screenshot: [IMAGE] - Details I care about: [DETAILS] Rules: - Describe only what you can actually see; say clearly when something is hidden, cut off or blurry. - Answer my specific questions first, then add other notable details. - Don't guess material, size or fit from the picture; say if it isn't shown. - If the photo shows several color options, say which one is pictured. Checkpoint: After answering my questions, ask whether I want more detail on any part before moving on. If you get stuck: If the image is too dark, too close or cropped, tell me how to retake it (move back, add light, tilt) instead of guessing. Verify before you finish: Re-read my questions and confirm each has an answer or a clear 'can't tell from this image'. Output: Short answers to my questions, then a plain description of the product. Done when: I know what the product looks like and what I still need to check with the seller.

Tom's Guide's Amanda Caswell asked ChatGPT for one trick to lower a grocery bill. It said to photograph the fridge, freezer and pantry, ask for five meals using what was already there, and buy only what those meals still needed. It came back with dishes like chicken tacos and bean and tomato soup, leaving Caswell needing maybe $40 of filler items instead of the usual $200. Caswell says the weekly spend went from about $350–$400 to about $200–$250.

For PCMag, Ruben Circelli asked three agents to find J. Kenji López-Alt's no-stir risotto recipe, research the best version of each ingredient at the local Wegmans and add them to an Instacart cart. ChatGPT's Dots, once Instacart was connected, found the recipe, researched the ingredients and filled the cart without issue. Meta's Muse got there slowly, needed Circelli to log in and enter a verification code, and added saffron threads that aren't in the recipe. Gemini's Spark found the recipe and proposed ingredients but couldn't access the account, tried to take over Chrome and froze.

Scientific American's Mary Randolph was moving apartments and tested Meta's Muse (named Mark) and OpenAI's Dots (named Sam) for a week. Muse logged in to their Facebook account, searched Marketplace for couches, lamps and rugs, and could draft and send messages to sellers with their approval, managing the replies while they did other things. They now own a Muse-sourced dining table. When they gave Dots their Facebook login to do the same, Meta flagged it as a bot and temporarily locked their Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. Later, Muse pushed them seven times in three days to join Target's membership program and buy a lamp on sale.
