AI for Everyday Life: Copy/Paste Prompts
==========================================

GETTING STARTED
---------------

Weak example (not a prompt to copy):

Tell me about cholesterol.

Stronger example:

I am a 70-year-old retiree and my doctor said my LDL cholesterol is high. Explain in plain language what that means, in about 150 words, and list three questions I should ask at my next visit.

Open Gemini Now (first message to test it)

Hello! Please explain in two sentences what you can help me with.

MODULE 1: A BILL THAT DOES NOT ADD UP
-------------------------------------

Activity: Compare a Bill with Its Explanation of Benefits

I am attaching a bill from my doctor's office and the Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company for the same visit. Explain each document in plain language. Then compare them and tell me whether I owe the full amount on the bill.

Check the bill line by line against the EOB. List every charge that appears wrong, and explain why.

Activity: Write the Letter

Write a polite, firm letter from Margaret Ellison to the billing office at Bluebird Canyon Family Medicine, asking them to correct the bill. Include the account number and the specific charges in question, and ask for a corrected statement.

Make it shorter and a little friendlier.

MODULE 2: SCAM OR NOT?
----------------------

Activity: Sort the Messages

(Paste one message from Scam or Not - Sample Messages.txt after this instruction.)

Is the following message a scam or legitimate? Give me your confidence level, list the specific clues that support your answer, and tell me what I should do next:

Activity: Push Back

What would change your mind about this message? What could I check to be sure?

Which of these five messages are you least certain about, and why?

MODULE 3: GETTING READY FOR THE DOCTOR
--------------------------------------

Activity: Understand the Results

Explain this lab report in plain language. Which results are outside the normal range, and what does each one generally mean? Do not diagnose me. Tell me what I should ask my doctor about.

Activity: Let Gemini Interview You

Please interview me to prepare for my doctor's appointment. Ask me one question at a time about my symptoms, my medications, my diet, and my daily activity. Wait for my answer before asking the next question. Stop after eight questions.

Based on this lab report and my answers, write a one-page list of questions and notes to bring to my doctor.

MODULE 4: WHAT IS FOR DINNER?
-----------------------------

Activity: Photograph the Refrigerator

List everything you can see in this refrigerator, grouped by shelf and door. Tell me when you are not sure what something is.

Activity: Refine the Plan

Suggest three dinners for two people using mostly what is in this photo. For each one, tell me what I would need to buy.

I also have chicken thighs in the freezer, a bag of rice, and some onions in the pantry. Revise the three dinners.

I want something ready in 30 minutes, using only one pan, with no dairy. Choose the best of the three and give me the recipe.

How can I tell if any of these ingredients are too old to use?

MODULE 5: MAKING A PICTURE
--------------------------

Activity: Create Your First Image

Create an image of a friendly roadrunner standing on a desert highway at sunrise, with saguaro cacti in the background, in the style of a vintage travel poster.

Make the same scene a watercolor painting instead.

Keep the watercolor style, but make it a rainy evening.

Activity: A Picture for a Small Business

Create an image for a flyer for a small bakery called Desert Rose Bakery. Show a plate of fresh cinnamon rolls on a wooden table with a prickly pear cactus flower beside it, in warm, bright colors. Add the words "Fresh Baked Daily" at the top.

The text is spelled wrong. It should read exactly: Fresh Baked Daily. Please correct it.

Create a simple logo for Desert Rose Bakery, using only two colors, with no words.

MODULE 6: PLANNING A TRIP
-------------------------

Activity: Vague, Then Specific

Plan a weekend trip.

Plan a three-day trip starting in Sierra Vista, Arizona, for two retired adults in March. Our budget is $600 for everything. We do not want to drive more than three hours in a day. One of us has trouble with stairs. We like history, quiet places, and good local food. Give me a day-by-day plan, and ask me any questions you need answered first.

Activity: Check the Details

Which parts of this plan are you most likely to have gotten wrong, and what should I double-check before I go?

MODULE 7: MY THREE PLACES
-------------------------

Activity: Try One Now

What did you assume in that answer that I should double-check?
