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.

My 7-year-old Shiba Inu may have gained weight. Each day I'll send you the walk time and distance, how much food and water the dog had, and a photo of the stool. Keep a running log, point out trends week by week, and tell me what to raise with the vet.

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: Keep a daily health log for my dog that shows trends I can bring to the vet. Questions to ask me first: - What does the dog weigh now, and what weight has the vet suggested? - What food and how much does the dog get each day? - Are there any health conditions or medicines? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Dog's age, breed and weight: [AGE / BREED / WEIGHT] - Target weight from the vet: [WEIGHT] - Daily food and treats: [FOOD / AMOUNTS] - Daily log entries: [WALKS / FOOD / WATER / STOOL PHOTO] Rules: - Keep a dated table and add each day's entry without changing earlier ones. - Point out week-over-week trends in weight, food and activity. - Describe stool photos plainly and flag anything that should go to the vet. - Don't change the diet or diagnose; suggest questions for the vet instead. Checkpoint: After the first week, show me the log and the trends you see and wait for my OK on the format. If you get stuck: If an entry is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing. Verify before you finish: Check the weekly totals against the daily entries before summarizing. Output: A running log table and a short weekly summary with questions for the vet. Done when: I have a log I can show at the next vet visit.

Outcome
KEN@DX, a 38-year-old IT worker in Tokyo who writes on note, started tracking Pochitaro, a 7-year-old Shiba Inu, after KEN@DX's wife thought the dog had gained weight. KEN@DX used ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for different jobs to log daily walks, food intake, water and photos of stool, using an existing phone instead of a paid pet-health device. Three months later, at a regular checkup, Pochitaro's weight had gone from 6.8 kg to 6.2 kg, in the middle of the ideal range, all blood test results were normal, and the vet praised the owner's management. KEN@DX also describes one month that went wrong from trusting the AI too much, with the lesson that overconfidence is off-limits.
