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.

I'll be in Naples for 8 days with my 2-year-old son, who naps from 1:30 to 4:00 PM. Here are our home and accommodation addresses, check-in and check-out times, flight times and airports, and a list of things I'd like to do. Create a highly detailed daily itinerary with activity times and airport transfers with enough buffer for the flights. Group visits by area and make sure the schedule isn't too exhausting.

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 realistic day-by-day trip itinerary that fits a young child's routine.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where and when are you traveling, and with whom?
- What is the child's nap and meal routine?
- Which places are must-dos and which are nice-to-haves?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Destination and dates: [CITY / DATES]
- Flights and lodging: [FLIGHT TIMES / ADDRESS / CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT]
- Child's age and routine: [AGE / NAP TIMES / MEALS]
- Wish list: [PLACES AND ACTIVITIES]
- Transport: [STROLLER / PUBLIC TRANSPORT / CAR]

Rules:
- Protect nap times and leave buffer time around flights.
- Group nearby places on the same day.
- Mark optional visits as backups for tired days.
- Flag anything that needs booking ahead, and tell me to check opening hours, prices and free-entry days on official sites.

Checkpoint: Show me a one-line summary per day and wait for my OK before writing detailed times.

If you get stuck: If you don't know current hours or prices, say so instead of guessing.

Verify before you finish: Check each day's travel time and that no day has more than [NUMBER] major activities.

Output: A day-by-day itinerary with times, transport, backups and a list of things to book ahead.

Done when: I have a plan that fits my child's routine and I know what to book and double-check.

Outcome

Marlène Viancin of the Salut, bye bye travel blog had booked flights and a stay in Naples over a year ahead but no longer had the energy to plan a culture-heavy trip alone with a 2-year-old son. Viancin researched blogs and TripAdvisor first, then gave ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4o), which already knew about the son's 1:30–4:00 PM nap, the dates, addresses, flight times, check-in and check-out times and a wish list, and asked for a detailed daily itinerary grouped by area with buffer time for flights. Follow-ups compared tunnels and catacombs, chose between Procida, Ischia and Capri with a stroller in mind, built a Pompeii route from the accessible-path PDF map and drafted emails to the host. During the trip ChatGPT gave quick history notes, a rainy-day Plan B and ideas for spare time. Viancin says it built a realistic plan around the toddler's pace and warned about tight transport times, which turned out to be an issue. It was weak on restaurants, needed opening hours checked, and missed that many Naples museums are free on the first Sunday of the month, which means big crowds.
