The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me check if a deal is really a deal. The item: [what] Sale price: [amount] What they say it was: [was price, if shown] What I've seen it for before: [amount, or "not sure"] Was I going to buy this anyway: [yes / no / maybe] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Whether the saving looks real from the figures I've given. 2. What I should check on the page (was price, unit price, delivery, returns). 3. A verdict: buy if I need it, wait, or walk away. 4. A one-line question that stops me buying on panic. Don't invent a 'real' usual price. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
