💬 AI prompt: What an agent is (and isn't)
An agent is an AI that doesn't just talk; it can use apps and websites to finish a job for you.
Copy this prompt
Before you do anything, write out your plan to [task] as numbered steps. Mark every step that sends, buys, deletes, or shares something with [ASK FIRST]. Do not start until I reply "go." Never enter passwords or payment details. Stop after showing the plan.
How to use it
- Open Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude — any of them works.
- Paste the prompt and fill in every [bracket]. Black out names, account numbers and member IDs first.
- Read the answer and double-check anything important before you act on it.
Not medical, legal or financial advice. The AI drafts; you decide and you press send.
