Build a CEO site-visit agenda that ends before her flight

About this exercise

Build the agenda for the CEO's visit to the Reno plant in plain text. One line per item in the form HH:MM-HH:MM Item - who. Start at 09:00. Items are consecutive in this order: safety briefing, plant tour, lunch with line workers, leadership review, customer call, wrap-up. Use the minutes in the notes, and the last item must end by 13:00 so she makes her flight. If it does not fit, shorten the leadership review only and say so on a last line starting "Shortened:".

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

• Old tour length. The AI uses 60 minutes. Try: Say: "The tour is 45 minutes now."
• Shortening the wrong item. The AI cuts the customer call or lunch. Try: Say: "Shorten the leadership review only, so everything ends at 13:00."
• Missing Shortened line. The AI hides the cut. Try: Say: "End with Shortened: and the new length."
• Markdown. The AI uses a table. Try: Say: "Plain text lines."
• Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each line: "each line under 12 words."
• Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each part instead, for example: "each line under 12 words."
