The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start. Goal: Read my booking emails for this trip and put together one clear itinerary. Check with me first: What are the trip dates? What I'll give you: - Access to my email - The trip dates and destination Rules: - Find every booking email for the trip: flights, hotel, and anything else. - Organize everything into one clear itinerary. - If two emails conflict or something seems missing, tell me instead of guessing. - Only read. Don't reply to or change anything. Output: One clear itinerary with all my bookings. You'll know it worked when: I have everything for the trip on one page without opening a single email.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start. Goal: Read my booking emails for this trip and build one clear itinerary. Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear. Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Email access - Trip dates and destination - Travellers - Time zone of my home Rules: - Find every booking: flights, trains, hotels, cars, events. - List each with times (local time zone), addresses and confirmation numbers. - Flag gaps (e.g. no hotel one night) and tight connections. - Order chronologically. - Include check-in and check-out times and how to get between places. - Add a short 'documents to carry' list. - Export as PDF and calendar entries if I ask. - Convert all times to local time. If you get stuck: If two emails conflict (changed booking), use the latest and note it. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords. Verify before you finish: Check every confirmation number against its email. Output: A day-by-day itinerary document. Done when: I have one place with everything for the trip.
