Prompt Recreated prompt
The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to. Goal: Give me a call list of pharmacies near me so I can find one that has a specific product in stock. Fill in before running: - The product name and size: [PRODUCT] - My town or area: [LOCATION] - How far I can travel: [DISTANCE] This is admin help, not medical advice. Don't diagnose or suggest treatments. If anything I mention sounds urgent, tell me to contact a doctor or emergency services first. Rules: - List pharmacies with name, address, phone number and opening hours, nearest first. - Only include phone numbers you found on an official or listing page, and say where each came from. - Mark any listing that looks out of date. - Give me a one-line script for asking whether they have it in stock. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: A numbered call list and the short call script. You'll know it worked when: I find a pharmacy that has the product and can go and get it.

Tiffany Bishop struggled to find a therapist who could help with two distinct areas, since most specialised in one or the other. Bishop gave ChatGPT a detailed prompt with their location (Washington State), preferences (within 20 minutes or virtual), insurance provider and a short summary of what they needed. It returned four suggestions, each with a summary, how well they matched and links to their profiles. All four met the logistics; the first had deep experience in both areas and became Bishop's new therapist.

- Get out-the-door quotes from 25 dealerships at once with a ChatGPT list and message, and pay $7,000 lessRecreated promptEvidence: Described by poster
Isaiah Crossman, a salesperson, started shopping a few days before the end of the month, when dealers chasing monthly targets are most motivated. After a test drive and a benchmark price from the nearest dealer, Crossman had ChatGPT list the 25 closest dealerships with links to their contact forms and draft one message: driven it, ready to buy, this spec and these colours, send your best out-the-door price. Sending it to all 25 took about 7 minutes. Over about 2 hours of calls across a few days, a general manager 40 minutes away made a same-day deal: $7,000 less than one dealer's earlier offer and $2,100 less than the next lowest.
