About this exercise

You picked out new glasses and want to know what you'll pay with your vision plan. Get exactly 3 numbered lines in plain text, under 70 words: 1. what you pay for frames over the allowance, with the math, using the corrected allowance; 2. what you pay for lenses and coating; 3. your total, with the addition. No advice. Write a prompt that gets you exactly that.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Using the printed allowance. The AI uses $150 and misses HR's update. Try: Add: "The frame allowance is $130."
  • Adding the exam. The AI adds the $10 exam copay you already paid. Try: Add: "The exam is already paid; don't count it."
  • No math shown. The AI gives totals with no working, so you can't check them. Try: Show it: "1. Frames: $210 - $130 = $80".
  • Getting shopping tips. The AI suggests buying online. Try: Add: "No tips."
  • 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: "each line under 14 words."

What a strong prompt includes

  • Uses the update
  • Skips the exam
  • Shows the math
  • Sets the number of lines
  • Sets a word limit
