Everyday Tasks¶
Everyday Tasks is a set of copy-paste recipes for getting real work done with an AI chat tool — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, whichever you have open. It's for people who aren't here to learn about AI in the abstract; you have an email to write, a document to summarize, a decision to think through, and you want to do it now.
No code. No accounts to connect. No jargon. If you can paste text into a chat box, you can use everything here.
What's inside each page¶
Every page is a recipe, not an essay:
- a one-line sense of when to reach for it,
- a ready-to-paste prompt with obvious blanks to fill in, and
- a before → after so you can see the kind of result to expect.
Copy the prompt, swap in your own details, and run it. You should walk away having done the task.
Find it by what you're doing¶
The recipes are grouped by the kind of task — the verb — not by your job or by a specific app. Pick the one that matches what you're trying to do:
- Writing — draft from a blank page
- Editing & Rewriting — improve text you already have
- Summarizing — compress something long
- Explaining & Researching — understand something fast
- Brainstorming & Ideation — generate options
- Planning — turn intent into a plan
- Replying & Communicating — handle messages and tricky conversations
- Deciding & Comparing — weigh options to choose
- Learning & Practicing — study and rehearse
- Sorting & Structuring — turn messy info into clean lists and tables
One honest note¶
AI is great at first drafts, options, and structure — and it will sometimes state something wrong with total confidence. Treat what it gives you as a strong starting point, not gospel: skim it, fix what's off, and check any fact that matters before you rely on it. The glossary explains the few terms used here.
