Build a buyer's Saturday showing schedule in route order

About this exercise

You're sending your buyers their Saturday tour. Write exactly 4 numbered lines in route order, each in the form "Time - address - one thing to look at", starting at 10:00 AM with 30 minutes between showings, plain text, under 70 words. Drop the house that just went pending, and pick each "thing to look at" from the buyers' own concerns. Write a prompt that gets you exactly that.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

• No fixed shape. The AI writes a friendly itinerary with descriptions of each house. Try: Be exact: "Exactly 4 numbered lines: Time - address - one thing to look at."
• Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for "under 70 words" and it often lands well over. Try: Cap each part instead: "each thing to look at under 8 words."
• Keeping the pending house. The update comes after the list, so the AI keeps 88 Crescent. Try: Add: "Drop 88 Crescent Rd; it went pending."
• Wrong times. The AI keeps 5 slots or spaces them unevenly. Try: Add: "10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30."
• Generic notes. "Check out the kitchen!" isn't what these buyers care about. Try: Add: "Pick each note from their concerns: light, yard, storage."
