About this exercise
Fill the weekly staff meeting agenda for your hardware store. Plain text, one line per item in the form HH:MM Item - who (minutes). Start 08:00, end 08:20, items consecutive, in this order: sales numbers, deliveries, safety reminder, schedule changes, questions. The times must add to exactly 20 minutes. Last line: Notes by: and a name from the notes.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Old durations. The AI keeps deliveries at 5. Try: Say: "Deliveries is 3 minutes; questions 7."
- Gaps in the times. The AI leaves gaps or ends at 08:25. Try: Say: "Consecutive lines ending at 08:20."
- Wrong note taker. The AI picks Pablo. Try: Say: "Notes by Lina this week."
- 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 10 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."
