I looked through 50 real cases about meeting notes and follow-ups and pulled out what people actually did, the prompts they used and the places it went sideways. No theory, no invented success stories.

Prompts to start from

These are the reusable prompts from real cases. Swap in your own details, run it once on something low-stakes, and read what the agent did before you trust it.

Home/family task: coordinate a cancer patient's records and care. Keep changes reversible and ask before messages, payments, or deletes.

Shopping task: chase an airline refund dispute. Collect order/policy details, prepare exact steps, and pause before submit or payment.

Tools that show up most
