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: Tell the German broadcasting fee office (GEZ) that I'm moving, with my old and new address. Check with me first: When is the move date? What I'll give you: - My old address and new address - My move date Rules: - Go to the official GEZ website and find the right form or contact form for a change of address. - Write a short, clear message with my old and new address. - If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing. - If a captcha appears, pause and let me solve it. - Stop before the final submit so I can check everything. Output: The completed form or message, ready for me to confirm. You'll know it worked when: the office has my new address and I only had to click submit. Later I may also ask you to: do the same address change for other institutions.
Try this in:
Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.
Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start. Goal: Tell Germany's broadcasting fee office (Rundfunkbeitrag) about my move with old and new address. Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear. Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Old and new address - Move date - Language for the confirmation summary Rules: - Use only rundfunkbeitrag.de; avoid third-party services that charge. - Use the official change-of-address form or the contact form on rundfunkbeitrag.de. - Write a short, clear message in German with my old and new address and the move date. - Enter my details exactly as I give them. Checkpoint: Show me the filled form before submitting. If you get stuck: If the form asks for info I didn't give, stop and ask. 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: After submission, save the confirmation page or PDF. Output: Form summary and confirmation. Done when: the office has my new address and I have proof.

Lifehacker Japan's editor-in-chief Misa Maruyama, planning a May move within Shibuya, asked ChatGPT for a checklist of council paperwork and personal tasks before and after the move, ordered by urgency, with checkboxes and suited to someone who can only prepare evenings and weekends. Maruyama asked for a second list of personal tasks, then for both tables in a printable format, and pasted the result into a notes app. Trying the same in Gemini, they could export the table straight to Google Sheets to share tasks with household members, though the links didn't carry over.

- Fill three web onboarding forms from Google Drive files with Claude in Chrome, at a heavy usage cost (partial)Recreated promptEvidence: Described by posterPartial
Evan Solomon asked Claude in Chrome to fill out three web onboarding forms using information scattered across their Google Drive. It worked very well: it read the pages, found the information in Drive, filled the fields and handled multi-step forms with almost no hand-holding. But it took 574 model round-trips and about 223M tokens, roughly $350-400 in API-equivalent compute, and used up the Max plan's 5-hour window in one session. Solomon notes it was slow, got slower and pricier as the session grew, and that running it on the top model was a mistake for form-filling.
