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 2026-10-31: 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.

適用情境 / When to use

Peter van Hees reports using Grok Bot to compare supermarket drinks and revise rankings. This adaptation uses supplied quotes rather than the browser workflow.

步驟 / Steps

  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.

提示詞 / Prompt

Using only [supplied quotes: sources, check times, specifications, pack volume/count, currency, prices and promotion terms], draft a comparison for [product/acceptable substitutes/required quantity/comparison unit/collection method]. Check comparability first, then show unit-price calculations and the total outlay actually required. Separate membership, bundles, deposits, delivery and taxes. Unknowns are not zero; do not mix currencies or invent exchange rates. Do not rank insufficiently specified offers or call old quotes current. Return a draft and verification questions only, without browsing, signing in, shopping or paying.

留意事項 / Cautions

  • A single report is not an independent price audit. Historical quotes are not live prices, and a lower unit price need not mean a lower required outlay.
