Outcome

Traveling around Kerala with a wheelchair, Christian Bayerlein wanted low-traffic, paved routes of 2–3 km, ideally loops surrounded by green. Instead of learning mapping tools, Bayerlein stayed on the phone and had ChatGPT Agent Mode open Overpass Turbo in its own browser, run the queries, download and interpret the data, cluster connected roads, filter out private roads and summarize the best candidates in plain English. It returned entry points and Google Maps links ready to tap. 'I didn't learn a mapping tool. I delegated the tool-use.'

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

What the prompt labels mean

I'm traveling in [AREA] with a wheelchair. Find quiet, low-traffic routes off the main roads with a paved, smooth surface, 2–3 km long, ideally loops through green surroundings. Use OpenStreetMap data (for example via Overpass Turbo), filter out private roads, and give me entry points with Google Maps links.

Try this in:

This prompt has blanks to fill in, like [AREA]. We'll copy it instead of filling it in, so you can edit it before you send.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

These links are only a shortcut. We're not affiliated with OpenAI, Google or xAI, and your results may not match the source.

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: Find a few quiet, smooth routes near me that work for a wheelchair, with links I can open on my phone.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where am I starting from, and how far am I willing to travel to reach a route?
- What length and surface do I need, and are any slopes or curbs a problem?
- Do I prefer loops or out-and-back routes, and any scenery preference?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Area or starting point: [AREA]
- Max travel distance: [DISTANCE]
- Route length and surface: [LENGTH, e.g. 2–3 km paved]
- Must-avoid features: [STEPS, STEEP SLOPES, BUSY ROADS]

Rules:
- Use map data (for example OpenStreetMap) and explain which tags you relied on, like surface and road type.
- Leave out private roads and busy main roads.
- For each route give the length, surface as mapped, entry point, and a map link.
- Say clearly that map data can be out of date or wrong, and flag anything you couldn't confirm (surface, slope, traffic).
- Don't share my location beyond what I give you.

Checkpoint: Show me the top 3–5 candidates before adding more detail.

If you get stuck: If map data is thin, say so and suggest nearby areas with better data or other ways to check, such as street-level imagery. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Open each map link to make sure it points to the right entry point.

Output: A short list of routes with length, surface, entry point, map link and caveats.

Done when: I have a few routes I can tap to navigate to, with any unknowns clearly marked.

  • After an Airbnb stay with no hot water and a host-required third-party app that didn't work, a guest explained the problem to ChatGPT by voice and uploaded a video. Instead of drafting an email, ChatGPT opened its cloud browser, had the guest log in to Airbnb, found the stay, opened a support ticket, asked for a human, made the case and uploaded screenshots from the video; the guest only stepped in to approve messages. A representative called and the guest got $250 back.

  • A poster asked ChatGPT agent to book a return flight for their mother-in-law with the mother-in-law's specific seating and baggage preferences. They say it found the right flights, followed those instructions, clicked through the FlySafair website and stopped right before payment as asked; refining the prompt a few times made it more efficient.

    BKA Content's Greg Secrist asked ChatGPT agent for nonstop Salt Lake City to Las Vegas flights for October 8–11 plus hotel rooms under $400 per night. It worked across Delta, Expedia and Booking.com but struggled with JavaScript-heavy pages and date pickers, sometimes looping or freezing; after almost nine minutes it returned some options they say they could have found manually in half the time.
