The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points. Goal: Help me ask a company to refund a renewal charge, or move me to a cheaper plan. What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing): - Company and product - Charge amount and date - Why I want a refund (didn't use it, forgot it renewed, too expensive) - Whether I'd stay on a cheaper plan Rules: - Check the company's refund window and policy for this product. - Give me a short script for chat or phone and a written version. - Ask for a full refund first; have a fallback ask (discounted plan or partial refund). - Stay polite and specific. - If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me. - Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: The policy summary, a chat script and an email draft. You'll know it worked when: I get a refund or a cheaper plan, in writing.

Gokul N.'s blood test results from Superpower took 20 days. Gokul asked ChatGPT to check the refund policy, look at the dates and email the concierge. The email cited Section 14(a) of the membership agreement, set out the timeline with Superpower's own support replies, asked them to confirm when results had actually been available, and added a fallback asking for an exception if a different policy applied. Two days later Superpower confirmed a full $199 membership refund.

- Fight a private parking charge with ChatGPT finding holes in the operator's evidence, then recover £462.15 in costsRecreated promptEvidence: Article or interview
Loren Cole, a freelance chef, got a £60 parking charge for overstaying by five minutes at a retail park, despite paying for a three-hour ticket after the payment machines played up. When the operator threatened court, Cole used ChatGPT to scrutinise its letters and evidence: it pointed out claims of non-payment despite a successful card payment, a floor plan sent instead of photos of the signs, and missing detail on entry and exit times against the 10-minute grace period, and it drafted replies. Cole added photos showing the signage didn't match the floor plan, and the operator discontinued the claim. Cole then used ChatGPT to claim litigant-in-person costs at £19 per hour; after a default costs certificate and a ChatGPT-drafted final warning, the operator paid £462.15.
