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.

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: Plan a short family getaway that fits everyone's needs, with safe, checked backup options.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where, when and how long is the trip?
- Who's going (ages), and what does each person want?
- Any diet, mobility or schedule limits?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Destination and dates: [CITY / DATES]
- Each person's wishes: [NAME: WISHES]
- Diet needs: [DIETS]
- Hotel budget: [BUDGET]
- Fixed commitments: [e.g., SERVICE TIME / WORK DEADLINE]

Rules:
- Give a timed itinerary with addresses and drive or walk times between stops.
- For each restaurant, list dishes that fit each diet and link the current menu.
- Give a backup for every meal and activity.
- Flag stops that are hard to find or that need walking through unfamiliar areas with kids, and tell me to check hours and reviews before going.

Checkpoint: Show me the draft itinerary and ask what to swap before adding backups.

If you get stuck: If you can't confirm a place is open or its location, say so instead of guessing.

Verify before you finish: Check that the timings fit the trip length and every person's wish appears at least once.

Output: A timed itinerary with addresses, backups and a short pre-trip checklist.

Done when: Everyone's needs are covered and every stop has a backup.

Outcome

Veronica Davis's family handed ChatGPT a 24-hour trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, with each family member sending it their own wishes, from steak to a church service to a SIBO-friendly diet. It built a full itinerary with a hotel, restaurants and menus, driving times, stops and church options. The Grand Bohemian Hotel was a hit, and dinner at Porter's House had SIBO-friendly options and pleased everyone. Its top brunch pick, The Famous Toastery, turned into a wild goose chase through back alleys and questionable areas with kids in tow, so they skipped it. The backup, Burton's Grill, delivered. The Museum of Illusions was fun but had an overwhelming smell. They would do it again, with more manual checking of location safety.
