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.

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.

My 10-year-old dog needs urgent dental surgery for an abscess near the eye. Find veterinary practices within an hour's drive of [TOWN] that actually do dental extractions or oral surgery, list their contact details, draft a short urgent email to each asking whether they can see us within 48 hours, and keep a tracker of who we contacted and what they replied.

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 vet who can do urgent dental surgery soon, without me making dozens of calls.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where are we, and how far can we drive?
- What did our vet or specialist say is needed, and how soon?
- May you send emails from my account, or should you only draft them?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Location and drive limit: [TOWN, 1 HOUR]
- Pet and problem: [AGE, SPECIES, DIAGNOSIS FROM THE VET]
- Deadline: [E.G. WITHIN 48 HOURS]
- Contact details to share: [PHONE, EMAIL]

Rules:
- Only list practices that say they do dental extractions or oral surgery.
- Show me every email before it is sent.
- Don't give medical advice; the treating vets make the clinical calls.
- Log each clinic once, with its status and next step.

Checkpoint: Show the clinic shortlist and one sample email before contacting anyone.

If you get stuck: If a clinic's services are unclear, mark it 'call to confirm' instead of guessing.

Verify before you finish: Every clinic in the tracker has a source for its dental services and a current status.

Output: A shared tracker (clinic, phone, email, services, reply, status, next step) plus the sent or drafted emails.

Done when: I'm only phoning clinics that can actually take the case in time.

Outcome

A 10-year-old dog, Mopsy, developed a dental abscess that an ophthalmologist said was already damaging the dog's eye and had partly torn the retina, so the infected tooth needed treating fast. After more than a dozen calls and over two hours, the owner kept hitting the same walls: emergency hospitals didn't do dental surgery, specialty dentists were booked, and most regular vets needed a separate consult, bloodwork and surgery visit. The owner then asked ChatGPT to research practices within an hour's drive that did extractions or oral surgery. It found their contact details, sent urgent individualized emails from the owner's Gmail asking for surgery within 48 hours, and kept a shared tracker of more than 20 practices, updating it as replies came in. In under half an hour, one vet offered to evaluate Mopsy the next morning, run pre-anesthetic bloodwork on site and operate straight away if cleared.
