A helpful decision request gives AI the choices, the things you care about, and any limits you have. Ask it to organize the information so you can think more clearly.
Try saying
“Help me compare these choices.”
Add what matters, such as price, convenience, comfort, timing, or how often you will use something. Ask for a simple pros-and-cons list or a comparison table.

Compare two everyday choices using your priorities
New to working between a lesson and an AI assistant? Read the beginner’s guide. It also explains a paper-only approach; no paid service is required.
Before sharing, remove names and sensitive details. Follow any workplace rules.
Worked example
Suppose two phone plans cost different amounts. One includes more data; the other costs less. Before comparing, the learner writes a monthly budget and how much data they usually use. The table is useful only if those facts are accurate and the learner checks current plan details.
Prompt to try
First write your goal and limits below. The prompt will use those notes.
Help me with this everyday task. Ask a question if something important is missing. Do not invent facts. My two choices and what matters most: [add your goal and limits] Give me a useful first draft, and list any assumptions I should check.
Choose a low-stakes decision. Name two options, rank up to three priorities (such as cost, convenience, or comfort), and give a limit. Do not use this activity for urgent or high-stakes decisions.
Paste the comparison, or make a two-column table on paper with one row for each priority.
Which facts came from you? Which need a current source? Note missing information, assumptions, and where you checked any important claim.
State which option currently fits your priorities, why, and one remaining fact to check. You make the choice; AI does not.
Practice without AI
Draw two columns and list your top three priorities as rows. Fill in what you know, mark unknown facts with a question mark, and choose one source or person who can verify them.
