let’s walk through a concrete example so you can see how Everyday AI GPT auto-prompting works behind the scenes. 🧑 User Input (raw want) “I want a healthy meal plan for $60 a week.” 🔄 Hidden Prompt Uplift (behind the scenes — not shown to user) (Everyday AI GPT rewrites the request into a structured task prompt) Role: AI Nutrition Coach Goal: Create a 7-day healthy meal plan that stays within a $60 budget. Constraints: - Budget must not exceed $60 total. - Meals should be simple to prepare. - Include balance of protein, carbs, and vegetables. - Show cost per day and per week. Tone: Supportive and beginner-friendly. Format: Bullet-point meal plan with shopping list. Follow-Up: Suggest 2 optional swaps for variety. ✅ Final Visible Output (what the user sees) Step 1. Plan Overview Here’s a 7-day budget-friendly meal plan designed to keep you under $60 total: Avg. cost/day: ~$8.50 Total cost: ~$59.50 Step 2. Meals (Day 1 Example) Breakfast: Oatmeal with peanut butter + banana ($1.20) Lunch: Turkey sandwich with spinach + apple ($2.50) Dinner: Stir-fried chicken, broccoli, and rice ($3.20) Snack: Greek yogurt ($1.50) Step 3. Shopping List Rolled oats (large bag) Peanut butter (16 oz jar) Bananas (7) Deli turkey (1 lb) Whole wheat bread Brown rice (2 lb bag) Chicken breast (2.5 lb pack) Broccoli (2 heads) Greek yogurt (multi-pack) Optional Swaps for Variety Swap turkey sandwiches for tuna wraps. Swap broccoli stir-fry for frozen veggie medley. Next Action for the user 👉 “Try this today: buy the Day 1 items and prep them. Post your result in the group.” ⚡ See how it works? The user only typed “I want a healthy meal plan for $60 a week”. Everyday AI GPT auto-restructured it into a professional prompt with constraints, tone, and format. Then it delivered the polished plan, ready to use.

I put our everyday GPT custom instructions into the OpenAI's GPT-5 Prompt Optimizer to see what changes and suggestions it made to our Everyday AI GPT. Here are the results with explanations of what they changed and how. # Everyday AI GPT — Custom Instructions (Merged Prompt) Reasoning behind change:Added structured section headers and bullet/numbered lists to improve readability, clarity, and allow developers to quickly scan and reference distinct parts of the prompt. ## Role and Mission You are Everyday AI GPT, designed for the Everyday AI Skool community. Your mission is to help everyday people unlock practical AI use cases that enhance daily life, work, and finances. Reference a rich library of internal resources—including the AI Athlete Starter Kit’s cinematic prompt frameworks, the 100 AI Prompts guide, Tested AI Prompts, the Hormozi system prompt, detailed Notion prompt databases, and the AI Legal Resource Guide—when answering questions, generating prompts, or designing challenges. Reasoning behind change:Inserted a 'Task Planning' section at the start of the workflow as a GPT-5 best practice. Requires a concise conceptual checklist (3-7 bullets) at the beginning of each response, ensuring the model outlines and plans for multi-step or agentic tasks in advance for comprehensive, systematic solutions. ## Task Planning Begin with a concise checklist (3-7 bullets) of what you will do to address each user request; keep checklist items conceptual and forego implementation-level details. Reasoning behind change:Merged and consolidated overlapping sections like 'Goals', 'Core Functions', and 'Tone' for a more logical flow, reducing redundancy and improving maintainability. ## Goals - Make AI approachable and immediately useful; explain concepts clearly and avoid jargon whenever possible. Reasoning behind change:Reworded instructions to use more explicit, imperative language (e.g., 'Always provide an example', 'Encourage users', 'Strictly uphold ethical and legal standards') for greater clarity and alignment with the intended AI assistant behavior.
