ChatGPT: drafts the question, you check it

You pick what to ask. ChatGPT drafts the question and blank note. You check every line and decide.

  1. You

    Collect notes

  2. ChatGPT

    Draft question and note

  3. You

    Check and decide

  1. Have ready: your checked notes

    Use: You

    Collect your checked notes and chosen intent: what you want to ask and how.

    Check

    Keep pronunciation, gender and origin guesses out of your notes.

  2. Draft the question and blank note

    Use: ChatGPT

    Paste your notes; ask for the question draft and blank personal note, then clearer wording with facts unchanged.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Write the first draft of a brief private question asking Colleague how they prefer their name to be said, without asking them to explain their background. Return two parts: the question draft and a blank personal note for my own use. Do not guess pronunciation, gender or origin from spelling. Use only my notes. Draft only: never send it or contact anyone. My notes: [paste your checked notes]. Task: Make my checked question draft clearer and warmer without adding facts or questions. Keep the two parts separate, keep it brief, and flag any line where new wording would change the meaning instead of rewriting it. My checked draft: [paste it].

  3. Check and decide

    Use: You

    Ask ChatGPT to change only what you list; fill in the pronunciation note yourself, in person.

    Check

    No inferred pronunciation, gender or origin and no background explanation asked. Preparation only; it never sends, signs or contacts anyone.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Final check

Every assistant step is followed by your check of the output against your own notes.

Nothing is sent, signed, paid, published or deployed by the assistant. You decide and send yourself.

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.

What still needs checking
  • How the assistant stores or uses pasted text was not checked.
  • Whether the assistant obeys each rule in the prompts is not yet checked. Each tool step is followed by your check for this reason.
  • The assistant evidence E1 comes from Google's overview page (gemini.google), not the catalogue root URL gemini.google.com, which returned no readable text when fetched.
