Provide fictional meeting goals, area, time window, party size, budget and transport. Draft clarification questions and restaurant comparison fields.

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 fictional meeting goals, area, time window, party size, budget and transport.
  3. Review the requested result against its original inputs: List missing details and comparison fields before changing meeting plans. 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.
