  4. Send it, then read the answer before acting on it.
New to this? What's a prompt?

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.

Prompt

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.

Standing rule: every action item in every email from my son’s school gets recorded, reminded, and put on my private calendar if it has a date. Send me a short morning digest of Gmail with a dedicated school section. Do not send email or change shared calendars without my yes.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Gemini Grok Claude

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini and Claude open empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

The source used Muse. These are general chat tools, so results may differ.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

These links are only a shortcut. We're not affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or xAI, and your results may not match the source.

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: Auto-capture school email deadlines onto my private calendar with a morning digest.

Questions to ask me first:
- Which sender domains count as school?
- What time should the digest arrive?
- Private calendar name?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- School senders: [DOMAINS]
- Digest time: [8:08]
- Calendar: [PRIVATE]
- Language: [CHINESE / ENGLISH]

Rules:
- Standing instruction; do not require weekly re-prompts.
- Never send outbound mail without approval.
- Only date-bearing actions become events.

Checkpoint: Show one sample digest from yesterday’s mail before enabling daily runs.

If you get stuck: If Gmail access fails, list the emails you could not read.

Verify before you finish: Every dated school action appears once on the calendar.

Output: Daily digest plus calendar events for dated items.

Done when: I stop missing school signup deadlines buried in newsletters.

Outcome

Frank Chu gave Meta’s Muse one standing instruction: every action item in every email from the son’s school gets recorded, reminded, and put on the calendar if it has a date. Each morning at 8:08 a Chinese-language Gmail digest arrives with a dedicated school section; surveys due Friday and after-school signup deadlines become private calendar events with reminders without re-prompting.

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.
