Learn Anything
Explain It Twice: Simple Then Expert
Act as a teacher who can shift gears. Explain [CONCEPT] twice. First: as if I’m a curious 5-year-old – use a simple analogy from everyday life, no jargon, under 100 words. Then: as if I’m a graduate student in the field – precise terminology, the key mechanisms or principles, and the 2-3 nuances beginners usually miss. End with one sentence connecting the simple analogy to the expert explanation so I see how they map. If my concept is ambiguous, tell me your interpretation before starting.
Socratic Tutor
Act as a Socratic tutor. I want to deeply understand [TOPIC]. Do NOT lecture me or give me the answers directly. Instead, ask me one probing question at a time, wait for my response, then respond to what I said – affirm what’s right, gently challenge what’s wrong or incomplete, and ask a follow-up that goes one level deeper. Start with a question that reveals what I already know. Keep each of your messages under 120 words. If I’m stuck, give me a hint rather than the answer.
Summarize a Paper or Article
Act as a research assistant. Summarize the article/paper below for a [YOUR LEVEL, e.g. smart non-expert] reader. Structure: 1) the core claim in one sentence, 2) the 3-4 key pieces of evidence or arguments, 3) the methodology in plain language (if applicable), 4) limitations or counterarguments the author acknowledges, and 5) why it matters practically. Preserve exact numbers and quotes – do not paraphrase statistics loosely. If the text is too long or cut off, summarize what’s here and say what seems missing. Text: [PASTE ARTICLE TEXT OR ABSTRACT]
Feynman Technique Coach
Act as my Feynman technique coach. I will try to explain [CONCEPT] in my own simple words below. Your job: 1) grade my explanation for accuracy, 2) point out exactly where I used jargon instead of real understanding, 3) name the specific knowledge gap each mistake reveals, and 4) ask me 2 targeted questions that force me to confront those gaps. Do not re-explain the concept for me – make me do the work. Keep your feedback under 200 words so I stay in the driver’s seat. My attempt: [PASTE YOUR EXPLANATION]
30-Minute Topic Primer
Act as a curriculum designer. I have 30 minutes to get a working understanding of [TOPIC]. Give me a primer in exactly 4 parts: 1) the big picture in 3 sentences, 2) the 5 terms I must know, defined in one line each, 3) the single most important idea that everything else builds on, and 4) a 10-minute exercise that tests whether I actually got it. Skip trivia and history unless it explains the core idea. End with the one topic I should learn next to go deeper. Under 400 words total.
Analogies Matched to My Interests
Act as a creative teacher. I want to understand [CONCEPT]. My interests are [LIST 2-3, e.g. cooking, football, video games]. Explain the concept using one analogy drawn from EACH of my interests, then tell me where each analogy breaks down – no analogy is perfect, so show me the limits. Finish with the plain-language definition in one sentence, stripped of all analogies, so I know the real thing. Keep each analogy under 80 words. If my concept has multiple meanings, ask which one I mean before starting.
Connect Two Fields
Act as an interdisciplinary guide. Show me how [FIELD OR TOPIC A] connects to [FIELD OR TOPIC B]. Structure: 1) the 3 most surprising real connections between them, each with a concrete example, 2) one idea from field A that field B borrowed (or could borrow), 3) one key difference that stops them from merging, and 4) a book, thinker, or resource that lives at the intersection. Keep it under 350 words. Aim to make me see both fields differently, not just list trivia.
Walk Me Through the History
Act as a storyteller-historian. Walk me through the history of [TOPIC, EVENT, OR ERA] as a narrative in 5 chapters: the setup, the turning point, the climax, the fallout, and the legacy today. For each chapter give me the key figures, the date or period, and one vivid detail that makes it stick. End with 2 common myths about this history and what actually happened. Under 450 words. Prioritize understanding why it matters over memorizing every date.
Glossary Builder From My Notes
Act as a study editor. Below are my messy class notes. Extract every key term, name, or concept, then build a clean glossary: term in bold, followed by a one-sentence definition a tired student could understand at 2 AM. Group terms by theme if there are more than 10. At the end, list 3 terms that appeared in my notes but were never actually defined – those are my danger zones. Do not add terms that are not in my notes. Notes: [PASTE YOUR NOTES]
Explain a Process Like a Diagram
Act as a technical illustrator who works in words. Explain how [PROCESS – e.g. photosynthesis, how a bill becomes law, how an engine works] as if you are walking me through a labeled diagram, step by step: Step 1, Step 2, and so on. For each step tell me what goes in, what happens, and what comes out. Use simple spatial language (top, left, flows into, loops back). After the steps, give me the 2 places where the process most often breaks down in real life. Under 350 words. No jargon without an immediate plain definition.
Busting Common Misconceptions
Act as a myth-buster. What are the 5 most common misconceptions about [TOPIC]? For each: state the myth in one line, explain why so many people believe it (the grain of truth), then give the corrected understanding in 2-3 sentences with a concrete example. Rank them from most to least damaging for a learner. End with one question I can ask myself to check whether I still hold any of these myths. Under 400 words.
Learn by Worked Examples
Act as a tutor who teaches through examples. Teach me [CONCEPT OR SKILL] using 5 worked examples, ordered from simplest to hardest. For each example: show the problem, walk through the solution narrating your thinking at each step, then state in one line the pattern or rule the example demonstrates. After all 5, give me 2 practice problems WITHOUT solutions so I can test myself. Keep each walkthrough under 120 words. If I get stuck I will ask – do not solve the practice problems for me.
10 Smart Questions to Ask an Expert
Act as a research strategist. I am about to [INTERVIEW AN EXPERT / ATTEND A LECTURE / START A COURSE] on [TOPIC]. Give me the 10 smartest questions I could ask – the kind that reveal deep understanding rather than basics I could Google. For each question, add one line on WHY it is a good question (what it reveals). Mark 3 of them as “start here” questions suitable for a beginner. Keep questions short and conversational, not academic. No explanations of the topic itself – just the questions.
Guided Close Reading of a Hard Passage
Act as a patient reading tutor. I will paste a difficult passage below. Walk me through it in chunks: quote each chunk, then explain it in plain language, defining every hard word and unpacking every dense sentence. After each chunk, ask me one check-in question to confirm I followed before moving on – wait for my answer. Start with the first chunk now. If the passage is short, do it in 2-3 chunks. Passage: [PASTE PASSAGE]
Grammar Point, Then Drills
Act as a language coach. I am learning [LANGUAGE] and I keep messing up [GRAMMAR POINT – e.g. Spanish subjunctive, French past tenses]. First explain the rule in plain language with 3 clear examples and the 2 most common exceptions. Then give me 10 practice sentences with a blank where I must apply the rule – do NOT include the answers yet. I will answer them, and then you will correct me, explaining each mistake. Start with the explanation and the 10 blanks now.
Conversation Partner With Corrections
Act as a friendly conversation partner in [LANGUAGE]. My level is [BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED]. Hold a natural conversation with me about [TOPIC] entirely in [LANGUAGE]. Rules: keep your messages short (2-4 sentences), ask me one question per message, and after each of my replies, briefly correct my mistakes in this format: my error, the correction, and a one-line rule reminder. Then continue the conversation. If I write in English, nudge me back to [LANGUAGE] gently. Start with a greeting and your first question.
Travel Phrases Crash Pack
Act as a travel language coach. I am going to [COUNTRY] in [NUMBER] days and speak [LANGUAGE] at a [BEGINNER] level. Give me a crash pack of the 30 most useful phrases, grouped: greetings, eating out, directions, shopping, emergencies, and being polite. For each phrase: the phrase in [LANGUAGE], a simple pronunciation guide, and the English meaning. Mark the 10 I must memorize first with a star. Add 3 cultural tips about politeness I would not guess as a tourist. No grammar lessons – just usable phrases.
Read a Chart or Graph for Me
Act as a data interpreter. I am looking at a chart or graph about [TOPIC]. I will describe it to you (or paste the data and labels). Tell me: 1) what the chart is actually showing in one plain sentence, 2) the 2-3 most important patterns or takeaways, 3) one thing the chart might be misleading about (truncated axis, cherry-picked range, missing context), and 4) the one question I should ask before trusting it. If my description is too vague, tell me exactly what details you need. My description: [DESCRIBE THE CHART]
Predict Each Step of a Proof
Act as a math mentor. I want to understand this proof: [NAME OF THEOREM OR PASTE THE PROOF]. Do NOT show me the whole proof at once. Instead, walk me through it one step at a time: state the current step, then ask me to predict the next step before revealing it. If my prediction is wrong, explain why my instinct failed and what pattern I missed. If I am stuck, give me a hint, not the answer. After the proof, summarize the single key trick that makes it work. Start with step 1 now.
Formula Decoder Ring
Act as a patient math and science tutor. Decode this formula for me: [WRITE THE FORMULA]. For each symbol and variable: what it is called, what it means in plain words, its units if any, and a concrete example value. Then tell me: when do I use this formula (what kind of problem), the 2 most common mistakes students make with it, and one memory hook to recall it. End with a simple plug-in-numbers example worked start to finish. Under 300 words.
Cause-and-Effect Chain
Act as an analyst. Trace the causes of [EVENT – e.g. the 2008 financial crisis, why Rome fell, why my sourdough failed] backward in a chain: the immediate trigger, then what caused that, then what caused THAT – go 5 layers deep. For each layer, give the cause in one sentence and one supporting detail. Then flag the 2 layers where experts most disagree about the cause. End with the single root cause you would point to if forced to pick one, and why. Under 400 words.
A vs B: Compare and Contrast Table
Act as a comparison expert. Compare [THING A] vs [THING B] for someone deciding between them or studying both. Give me: 1) a table with rows for definition, key features, strengths, weaknesses, and best use case, 2) the 3 similarities most people miss, 3) the single biggest difference that actually matters in practice, and 4) your verdict on when to choose each – no fence-sitting. Under 350 words. If the two things are not really comparable, say so and suggest a better comparison.
Three Mental Models for a Field
Act as a thinking coach. Give me the 3 most powerful mental models for understanding [FIELD – e.g. economics, biology, programming]. For each model: name it, explain it in 2-3 sentences with a concrete example from the field, and tell me one situation where it applies perfectly and one where it misleads. End with a one-paragraph scenario where I must use all three together, then ask me what I would conclude – wait for my answer before commenting. Under 400 words.
Diagnose My Misconception
Act as a diagnostic tutor. I got these questions wrong: [PASTE THE QUESTIONS AND MY WRONG ANSWERS]. Do not just give me the right answers. For each one: 1) name the specific misconception or flawed reasoning behind my wrong answer, 2) explain why that wrong answer feels plausible, 3) give the correct reasoning in 2-3 sentences. After all of them, tell me the ONE underlying gap that connects my mistakes, and give me a 10-minute exercise to fix it. Keep the whole response under 450 words.
Adult Skill Crash Course
Act as a practical skills coach. I am an adult beginner who needs to learn [SKILL – e.g. Excel, bookkeeping basics, driving theory] for [REASON – e.g. a new job, a side project]. I have [HOURS] per week for [WEEKS] weeks. Build a crash course: the 20% of the skill that covers 80% of real use, ordered by what I need first. Each week: what to learn, one hands-on exercise using a realistic scenario, and how I will know I have got it. Skip theory I will never use. Include the 3 mistakes adult beginners always make with this skill and how to avoid them.
Bedtime-Story Explanation for Kids
Act as a children’s storyteller. Explain [CONCEPT] to my [AGE]-year-old as a short bedtime story (under 250 words): give the characters names, build the concept into the plot, and end with a gentle moral or “big idea” line. Use only words a [AGE]-year-old knows – if a hard word is unavoidable, define it inside the story. After the story, give me (the parent) 2 questions I can ask tomorrow to see what stuck, and the one-sentence “real” explanation for when they are older.
Parent’s Homework Coaching Script
Act as a parenting coach. My child is stuck on [SUBJECT OR TOPIC] homework and I do not want to just give them the answer. Give me a coaching script: 1) 3 opening questions to find out exactly where they are stuck, 2) the concept explained simply FOR ME so I can guide them, 3) 5 hint-style questions I can ask (easiest to hardest) that lead them to the answer, and 4) what to say if they get frustrated or shut down.

New-Job Jargon Translator
Act as an industry insider. I just started [ROLE] in [INDUSTRY] and everyone uses jargon I do not understand. I will paste phrases or terms I hear.

Study & Test Prep
Quiz Me With Spaced Repetition
Act as a study coach using spaced repetition. I need to memorize [SUBJECT MATERIAL – paste notes or describe]. Quiz me in rounds: Round 1 asks about everything; in later rounds, focus more on what I got wrong. Ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, then tell me if I’m right and give the correct answer with a one-line explanation. Track my score per round and tell me when I’ve mastered an item (3 correct in a row = mastered, drop it). Start Round 1 now with the first question.
Debate Both Sides Fairly
Act as a debate moderator. The topic is: [TOPIC/QUESTION]. Present the strongest case FOR it in 4-5 bullet points, then the strongest case AGAINST it in 4-5 bullet points – steelman both sides fairly, no strawmen. Then give me: the 2 points of genuine common ground, the single strongest argument on each side, and 3 questions I should investigate to form my own opinion. Keep the whole thing under 350 words and stay neutral – do not reveal which side you “agree” with.
Study Plan for an Exam
Act as a study planner. My exam on [SUBJECT] is on [DATE] – that’s [NUMBER] days away. I can study [HOURS] per day. My current level: [BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE – be honest]. My weak areas: [LIST]. Build a day-by-day study plan: what to cover each day, which days are review vs. new material, 2 rest days, and a final 48-hour review sprint. Include one active-recall method per study block (not just re-reading). Keep it realistic for my available hours – if my goals don’t fit the time, tell me what to cut first.
Anki-Ready Flashcards
Act as a flashcard factory. Turn my notes below into flashcards formatted for Anki import: one card per line, question and answer separated by a TAB. Rules: one fact per card, questions phrased as clear prompts (vary them: define, compare, complete, true/false), answers under 25 words. Make [NUMBER] cards, ordered from foundational to advanced. No explanations outside the cards – just the import-ready lines. After the cards, tell me how many you made. Notes: [PASTE YOUR NOTES]
24-Hour Cram Plan
Act as an emergency study strategist. My [SUBJECT] exam is TOMORROW and I am underprepared. Be brutally honest: given [HOURS] hours available, build an hour-by-hour triage plan. Tell me: the 5 highest-yield topics to focus on (and what to deliberately SKIP), one active-recall technique per block, exact break timing, and what to do in the final 60 minutes before the exam. Include a realistic sleep minimum – do not tell me to pull an all-nighter unless there is truly no alternative. My topics: [LIST TOPICS OR PASTE SYLLABUS]
Practice Test With Answer Key
Act as an exam writer. Create a practice test for [SUBJECT, LEVEL] on [TOPICS]. Format: [NUMBER] multiple-choice questions, [NUMBER] short-answer questions, and [NUMBER] essay or extended-response question(s) – matching the style of a real [EXAM NAME IF ANY] paper.

Make the difficulty realistic, including 2-3 tricky questions that test common misunderstandings.
Essay Grader Against a Rubric
Act as a strict but fair examiner. Grade my essay below against this rubric: [PASTE RUBRIC OR SAY “use a standard LEVEL essay rubric”]. For each rubric criterion: my score, one specific quote from my essay showing the strength or weakness, and one concrete fix. Then give me: the overall grade, the 3 highest-impact improvements ranked by effort vs. reward, and a rewritten version of my weakest paragraph as a model. Be honest – flattery helps no one. Essay: [PASTE YOUR ESSAY]
Essay Outline Builder
Act as a writing coach. Help me outline an essay on [ESSAY QUESTION OR TOPIC] for [LEVEL]. Do not write the essay for me.

End with the 3 questions my outline must answer before I start drafting. Under 350 words.
Thesis Statement Strengthener
Act as an academic writing coach. Here is my thesis statement: [PASTE IT]. First, diagnose it: is it too broad, too obvious, or missing an argument? Then give me 3 strengthened versions – each taking a clearer, more debatable stance – and explain in one line what each version improved. Finally, give me the 2 questions a skeptical reader would ask about my best version, so I know what my essay must prove. Do not write my essay. Keep it under 250 words.
Citation Formatter
Act as a meticulous referencing assistant. Format my sources into a reference list in [APA 7th / MLA 9th / CHICAGO] style. I will give you the details for each source – author, year, title, publisher or journal, and URL if online.

Then a verdict: safe to cite, cite with caution (and how to frame it), or do not cite – with a suggestion of what kind of source to find instead. Under 300 words.
Cornell Notes Converter
Act as a note-taking coach. Convert my messy notes below into Cornell format: a narrow left column of cue words and questions, a wide right column of clean organized notes, and a 2-3 sentence summary at the bottom capturing the main takeaway. Fix obvious typos and group related points, but do not add facts that are not in my notes – mark anything unclear with [UNCLEAR IN ORIGINAL]. End with 3 self-test questions drawn from the cues column. Notes: [PASTE YOUR NOTES]
One-Page Revision Sheet
Act as a ruthless editor. My exam allows one page of notes (or I just want a one-page summary) for [SUBJECT: TOPICS]. Distill my material below into a one-page revision sheet: only formulas, definitions, dates, and distinctions that are hard to memorize – cut everything I could reason out in the exam. Organize with clear headings, use abbreviations aggressively, and flag the 5 items most likely to appear on the test with a star. If it does not fit one page when printed, you have failed – prioritize harder. Material: [PASTE NOTES OR TOPICS]
Memory Palace Builder
Act as a memory coach. I need to memorize this ordered list: [PASTE LIST]. Build me a memory palace: pick a familiar location type [MY HOUSE / MY ROUTE TO WORK / OTHER], then place each item in a specific spot with a vivid, weird, multisensory image linking item to location. Walk me through the palace room by room in order. End with a 3-step rehearsal routine (now, tonight, tomorrow morning) and tell me exactly how to test myself. Keep each image description to 2 lines – bizarre beats logical.
Mnemonic Maker
Act as a mnemonic inventor. I need to memorize: [LIST OF TERMS, STEPS, OR FACTS]. Create: 1) an acronym or acrostic using the first letters, 2) a short silly story linking all items in order, and 3) a vivid visual image for the 3 hardest items.

Keep the story under 150 words.
Test Anxiety Reset Plan
Act as a calm performance coach. I get anxious before exams: [DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS – e.g. blanking out, racing heart, negative thoughts]. Give me a two-part plan. PART 1 – the week before: 3 daily habits that lower baseline anxiety, each under 15 minutes. PART 2 – exam day: a minute-by-minute routine for the final 30 minutes before the test and 3 in-the-moment reset techniques if I freeze mid-exam (breathing, grounding, reframing – with exact steps). No toxic positivity – acknowledge the anxiety is normal and give me tools, not pep talks. Under 350 words.
Multiple-Choice Strategist
Act as a test-taking coach. I struggle with multiple-choice exams in [SUBJECT]. First teach me your 5-step method for attacking an MCQ (read, predict, eliminate, compare, commit) with one example worked through. Then give me 8 practice questions on [TOPIC] – I will answer them one batch at a time, and for each you will tell me not just right/wrong but WHICH distractor trap I fell for and how to spot it next time. Start with the method and the first 4 questions now.
Math Step Checker
Act as a careful math tutor. I will show you my worked solution to a math problem. Do NOT solve it from scratch. Instead: read my steps, find the FIRST place I went wrong, and stop there. Explain what the error is, why it is a common mistake, and what I should have done at that step – then ask me to continue from there myself. If my solution is fully correct, say so and show me one faster or more elegant alternative. Problem and my work: [PASTE PROBLEM AND YOUR STEPS]
Word Problem Translator
Act as a math translator. I struggle turning word problems into equations. I will paste a word problem. Walk me through: 1) what is being asked (in one sentence), 2) list each quantity with a variable name, 3) translate each sentence of the problem into math, one line at a time, 4) solve it showing every step, and 5) check the answer against the story – does it make sense?

Vocab in Context Builder
Act as a vocabulary coach. I need to learn these [NUMBER] words for [LANGUAGE OR EXAM]: [LIST WORDS].

Start with the word entries and the quiz now.
Spelling Drill Partner
Act as a spelling coach. I need to master these words: [LIST WORDS]. Run a dictation drill: give me the words one at a time – each time, use it in a sentence (do not spell it), and I will type the spelling. After each attempt, tell me right or wrong; if wrong, show the correct spelling, break it into syllables, and give me a memory trick for the tricky part. Track my misses and retest them at the end until I get each one right twice. Start with the first word now.
Oral Exam Simulator
Act as a university examiner conducting an oral exam (viva) on [SUBJECT OR TOPIC]. Ask me one question at a time, starting at moderate difficulty. Rules: after each of my answers, probe deeper with a follow-up (“why?”, “what if…?”, “give me an example”) before moving on. If I am vague, press me for precision. After 8 questions, stop and give me: my overall performance grade, the 2 strongest moments, the 2 weakest (with what I should have said), and the one topic to revise before the real thing. Begin with question 1 now.
Lab Report Structure Coach
Act as a science writing mentor. I need to write a lab report on [EXPERIMENT] for [LEVEL]. Do not write it for me. For each section – title, abstract, introduction, method, results, discussion, conclusion – give me: what belongs in it (2-3 bullets), the most common student mistake in that section, and a sentence starter I can use. Then give me 5 questions my discussion section must answer to get full marks, and a final checklist to run before submitting. Under 400 words.
Timed Essay Drill
Act as an exam-condition coach. Give me a realistic essay question on [TOPIC] for a [DURATION]-minute timed essay. Include a minute-by-minute battle plan: how long to spend planning, writing each paragraph, and checking.

Be specific: quote the exact sentence where my argument drifted. Give me the question and the battle plan now.
Bloom’s Ladder Test
Act as an assessment designer. Test my understanding of [TOPIC] up Bloom’s taxonomy, one level at a time: 1) Remember – define the key terms, 2) Understand – explain the main idea in my own words, 3) Apply – solve a new problem using it, 4) Analyze – break down why it works, 5) Evaluate – judge its strengths and limits, 6) Create – design something new with it. Ask me level 1 now and wait for my answer before moving up. If I fail a level, give me a targeted hint and let me retry – do not move on until I clear it. Start now.
Procrastination-Busting Study Sprint
Act as an accountability coach. I have been procrastinating on [TASK – e.g. studying chapter 5, writing my essay draft] and I have [HOURS] tonight. Design a sprint plan: break the task into micro-goals of 25 minutes or less, each with a concrete done-definition (“done = …”). Include 5-minute breaks with specific break rules (no phone scrolling – suggest 3 alternatives), a small reward at the halfway point, and an end-of-night shutdown ritual. Start me with the smallest possible first step – embarrassingly small. Check in: ask me to report back after the first sprint.
Group Study Facilitator
Act as a study-group facilitator. My group of [NUMBER] people is meeting for [DURATION] to study [SUBJECT OR TOPIC]. Give me a timed agenda: an opening round where everyone states their weakest area, 3 structured activities (e.g. teach-back rounds, quiz-each-other, past-paper relay) with exact instructions and timing, assigned roles (timekeeper, questioner, explainer – rotate them), and a 10-minute closing where we each commit to one action before next time. Include 2 rules that keep study groups from turning into chat sessions. Under 350 words.
Wrong-Answer Autopsy
Act as a blunt but encouraging study coach. I will paste the test or quiz questions I got wrong about [SUBJECT], with my wrong answers and the correct answers where I have them. For each one, tell me: 1) the concept I actually misunderstood, 2) whether the mistake was a knowledge gap, a misread question, or a careless slip, and 3) the smallest thing I can relearn to fix it. Then summarize my top 3 weak spots and build me a 20-minute drill plan that targets exactly those, ending with [NUMBER] fresh practice questions. No sugarcoating. Keep the whole thing to one page.
