Planning and deciding
"Can it help me make decisions?"
AI is excellent at helping you *think*, especially when you have too many options or not enough time.
Try it for
- Trips — "Plan a 4-day trip to Lisbon for two adults who like food, walking, and history. Suggest a daily rhythm and three restaurants."
- Meals — "Five weeknight dinners using mostly chicken, rice, and veggies. Quick prep."
- Gifts — "My dad is 70, loves jazz, gardening, and gentle hikes. Suggest 10 gift ideas under $75."
- Comparing options — "Pros and cons of leasing vs. buying a car for someone who drives 8,000 miles a year."
The 'be my advisor' prompt
"I'm trying to decide between [A] and [B]. Don't just list pros and cons — ask me three questions that would help you give me a better recommendation."
It will interview you. Then it will actually help you decide.
