Distinguish ingredients from similarly named ready meals

Provide a fictional recipe purpose, ingredient needs and product descriptions or package samples. Compare ingredients, kits and ready-made products, retaining unknown quantities and specifications.

Execution environment and usage

AI / software

Text chat (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini)

Where to operate

Optional text entry: start a new conversation at chatgpt.com; the supplied-text exercise can also be adapted to Claude or Gemini.

Getting started

  1. Start a new conversation at chatgpt.com and paste the original exercise prompt; do not use retired agent-mode onboarding.
  2. Provide a fictional recipe purpose, ingredient needs and product descriptions or package samples.
  3. For mock screens or package images, choose + → Add photos & files; paste complete text directly when images are unnecessary.
  4. Review the requested result against its original inputs: Use the cooking purpose to explain which products fit and which do not. Do not perform actions excluded by the prompt.

Setup and plan requirements

Complete, authorized text/sample inputs specified in the prompt; no external account access required.

Prompt portability limits

Portable as a planning/drafting exercise; the historical product is provenance, not a necessary execution environment. This is an adapted exercise, not equivalent execution of the historical agent workflow.

Usage limitations

Retirement notice in current official help; retain historical attribution, check Work separately for any new implementation. Historical tool/source attribution is retained. Not hands-on tested; verify plan, region, workspace and site access separately.

Environment sources

適用情境 / When to use

Provide a fictional recipe purpose, ingredient needs and product descriptions or package samples. Compare ingredients, kits and ready-made products, retaining unknown quantities and specifications. Do not browse stores or buy items. Source record: This is a journalist’s trial; shopping intent is not evidence of a completed transaction.

步驟 / Steps

  1. Prepare fictional cooking goals, required ingredients and sample product descriptions.
  2. Classify raw ingredients, condiments, kits and ready-made meals by intended use.
  3. Record acceptance or exclusion reasons and flag ambiguous packaging for review.

提示詞 / Prompt

From [fictional cooking goal/required ingredients/product and package descriptions/quantity needs], build a candidate map. Distinguish ingredients from finished products and flag name matches that fail the intended use, retaining quantity and specification unknowns. Classify supplied records only; do not browse stores, operate verification challenges or claim purchases.

留意事項 / Cautions

  • Do not promise food or allergy safety.
  • Do not sign in, solve challenges, add to carts or pay.
  • Hong Kong and Macao are absent from ChatGPT’s current support list. Taiwan’s listing does not guarantee the reported agent, old plugin or store is available. Analyze supplied data only; do not bypass regional restrictions.

來源限制 / Evidence limits

Matching search terms do not establish matching purpose; timing, price and privacy guarantees are excluded.

流程說明 / Workflow note

These steps and prompts are original, untested exercises by this site, not the author’s verbatim workflow. Reported results do not guarantee exercise outcomes.
