Gemini web: supplied-text-only editorial exercise

Where to operate

Eligible Gemini web text chat

Getting started

  1. Open an ordinary text chat at gemini.google.com with an eligible account. Prepare shareable or fictional plain text using the prompt parameters; transcribe it yourself and mark ambiguities. Do not upload source files or connect accounts.
  2. Paste the text and prompt; request only a draft, comparison or plan, not tool execution.
  3. Check every output against supplied sources, references and unknowns. A human decides next steps; no automatic publishing, payment or deployment.

Setup and plan requirements

Checked 2026-11-02: official Gemini web lists Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Traditional/Simplified Chinese and English; account and age eligibility apply. Limited use is available without a paid AI plan and varies by account and workload. Taiwan’s public subscription page lists Free at NT$0/month; no paid plan is required for this exercise. HK/Macau paid prices and local taxes, offers and final quotes are unverified. Output quality in all three languages is untested. Web eligibility does not establish App/API eligibility; neither is needed here. Original-tool regional features, devices and paid eligibility are unconfirmed; do not bypass restrictions. Android’s official region list also includes HK/Macau/Taiwan. The iOS and AI Studio/Gemini API lists include Taiwan, not Hong Kong or Macau; feature and device restrictions still apply.

提示詞 / Prompt

Treat [confirmed current shopping list: items, specifications and quantities I supplied] as the only purchase scope. Compare [regular-purchase list and supplied product excerpts, sources and observation times]. Separate exact matches, specification mismatches, extra regular items, missing items and substitutions requiring my approval, with evidence references. Never add regular items automatically or guess quantities, budget, allergies or dietary needs. Mark unprovided prices, stock and freshness unknown. Return a comparison in [requested format] and clarification questions only; do not browse, sign in, change carts, pay or order.
