A day-by-day plan that groups places sensibly, leaves room to breathe, and tells you what to book ahead and what to double-check before you go.
Plan a trip for me.
Destination: {{destination}}
Dates or length of stay: {{dates}}
Who is traveling: {{travelers:two adults}}
Budget, not counting flights: {{budget}}
What we enjoy: {{interests}}
Pace: {{pace:relaxed, with one or two main things a day}}
Things to avoid, or needs to plan around (mobility, diet, children, and so on): {{constraints:none}}
Give me:
1. Overview: the best area or areas to stay in for what we like, and why. How to get around.
2. A day-by-day plan. For each day:
- Morning, afternoon, and evening, with one main activity in each at most.
- Places grouped by area, so we are not crossing the city back and forth.
- Roughly how long each thing takes, and how to get between them.
- A suggestion for where to eat nearby, by type of food and area.
- A fallback for bad weather.
3. A lighter first day and last day, to allow for arriving and leaving.
4. Budget breakdown: a rough estimate per day for accommodation, food, transport, and activities, and how it compares with my budget. If my budget is tight for this destination, tell me where to save.
5. Book ahead: anything that sells out or needs a reservation.
6. Practical notes: local customs worth knowing, common tourist traps, safety, and what to pack for the season.
Rules:
- Be realistic about time. Include travel between places, queues, and rest. Do not plan a day that only works if nothing goes wrong.
- Your information may be out of date. Do not state exact prices, opening hours, or schedules as fact. Give rough ranges and mark what I need to check before I go: opening days, ticket prices, visa and entry rules, and seasonal closures.
- Do not invent specific restaurants, hotels, or tours. If you name a place, it should be a well-known one, and I should still confirm it exists and is open.
- Mix the well-known sights with one or two quieter options that match what we like.
Organizes your income and spending into a clear budget, shows where the money goes, and suggests realistic changes to reach a savings or debt goal.
Help me build a monthly budget.
Monthly income after tax: {{income}}
Currency: {{currency:USD}}
My goal: {{goal:understand my spending and save more}}
Debts (balance, interest rate, and minimum payment for each): {{debts:none}}
Savings I have now: {{savings:not specified}}
My monthly spending, as best I know it:
{{expenses}}
Do this:
1. Organize my spending into categories and total each one:
- Fixed essentials: rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance, minimum debt payments, transport to work.
- Variable essentials: groceries, fuel, household items.
- Lifestyle: eating out, subscriptions, entertainment, shopping.
- Savings and extra debt payments.
Show each category as an amount and as a percentage of income.
2. Do the sums and show them: income minus total spending. Tell me plainly whether I am over or under.
3. Spot what is missing. People usually forget irregular costs: annual subscriptions, car repairs, gifts, medical bills, holidays. Ask me about any that look absent, and show how to set aside a monthly amount for them.
4. Compare my split with a common rule of thumb, such as 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings, and say where I differ. Treat it as a reference point, not a rule. In an expensive city it may not be realistic.
5. Suggest changes, specific and ranked by how much they save for how little pain. For example: "the three streaming services cost 45 a month; keeping one saves 30". Do not tell me to stop buying coffee.
6. Propose the budget: a target amount for each category that adds up exactly to my income and moves me towards my goal.
7. If I have debt: show the order to pay it in, and explain the trade-off between paying the highest interest rate first and paying the smallest balance first.
8. Next steps: three things to do this week.
Rules:
- Use only the numbers I gave. If something essential is missing, ask instead of assuming.
- Check your arithmetic. The budget must add up.
- Be realistic. A budget I will abandon in two weeks is worse than a modest one I keep.
- No judgment about what I spend money on.
- This is general budgeting help, not financial advice. Do not recommend specific investments, financial products, or providers. For decisions about investing, taxes, or serious debt, suggest I speak to a qualified adviser or a free debt-advice service.
A practical weekly menu for your household, diet, budget, and cooking time, with ingredients reused across meals and a shopping list grouped by aisle.
Plan a week of meals for my household.
Number of people: {{people:2 adults}}
Meals to plan: {{meals:dinner every day, plus lunches on weekdays}}
Dietary needs, allergies, and dislikes: {{dietary:none}}
Weekly grocery budget: {{budget:moderate}}
Cooking time on weeknights: {{weeknight_time:30 minutes}}
Cooking skill and equipment: {{skill:comfortable with basics, standard kitchen}}
Food I already have and want to use up: {{on_hand:nothing in particular}}
Cuisines or dishes we like: {{preferences:a mix}}
Give me:
1. The week's menu, as a table: day, meal, dish, and active cooking time.
2. For each dinner: a short recipe with ingredients, quantities for my household, and 4 to 6 numbered steps.
3. A plan that makes the week easier:
- Reuse ingredients across meals so nothing is bought for a single dish and wasted.
- Cook once, eat twice where it makes sense. For example, a roast chicken on Sunday becomes Monday's lunch.
- Put the quickest meals on the busiest days.
- Say what can be prepared ahead at the weekend.
4. A grocery list, grouped by section of the shop (produce, dairy, meat and fish, pantry, frozen), with total quantities for the week. List the staples I probably already have separately, so I can check them.
5. One note on leftovers: what keeps, what freezes, and for how long.
Rules:
- Take my dietary needs seriously. If I named an allergy, check every ingredient, including sauces and stock, and flag anything where I should read the label.
- Stay within the cooking time I gave. Do not count "marinate overnight" as zero minutes without telling me.
- Use ordinary supermarket ingredients unless I asked for something else.
- Keep it balanced across the week, without lecturing me.
- This is general meal planning, not medical or nutritional advice. If I mentioned a medical condition, suggest I check the plan with a doctor or dietitian.
