The prompt · ChatGPT

Help us set up a shared family calendar.

People: [names]
Tools we use: [Google / Apple / paper]
What must be on it: [school, clubs, work late, handovers]
Privacy: [who sees what]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A simple structure (calendars/colours).
2. Setup steps for Google Calendar sharing if we're on Google.
3. Rules for adding events.
4. A weekly five-minute review slot.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. names: a short note you already have. Google / Apple / paper: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
