What you'll get: A plain checklist of private details to leave out of AI chats, plus a cleaned-up version of what you were about to paste.
For: Everyday
I want to ask an AI for help with [WHAT I NEED HELP WITH]. Before I paste anything, give me a short, plain list of details I should leave out or replace, like account numbers, passwords, my full address, or other people's private info. Then here's what I was going to paste: [PASTE TEXT]. Rewrite it with private details swapped for placeholders like [NAME] or [ACCOUNT], and tell me what you changed. Remind me to check my app's privacy settings too.
💡 Placeholders like [NAME] work just as well for the AI. It doesn't need the real thing to help you.
Fill in the [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into any AI chat.
Check if a message, email, or call sounds fishy.
I got this [EMAIL / TEXT / PHONE CALL]: "[PASTE MESSAGE OR DESCRIBE IT]". Does this look like a scam? Explain the warning signs in plain words and tell me what I should do next. Remind me what a real company would and wouldn't ask for.
💡 AI is good at spotting common scam patterns, but when in doubt, call the company using a number you already trust.
Make sense of confusing directions.
These instructions for my [ITEM, e.g., new thermostat] are confusing: "[PASTE INSTRUCTIONS]". Rewrite them as short, numbered steps in plain words, and point out anything I should be careful about.
💡 Numbered steps are much easier to follow one at a time.
Understand a contract, lease, or letter.
Explain this [CONTRACT / LEASE / LETTER] in plain, everyday words: "[PASTE TEXT]". Tell me: what it's asking me to do, any deadlines, any costs, and anything I should ask a professional about before signing.
💡 The AI helps you understand it, and the last part reminds you when to get real advice.
