The AI prompts

How to use these

Paste a prompt into whichever AI tool you already use. Remove names, addresses and anything identifying you don't need to include. The AI does the sorting. You keep the deciding — and anything legal, financial, medical or safety-related goes to a human professional.

01

Sort the noise

 
I am going through a separation in Australia and I am overwhelmed. I am going to brain-dump everything currently worrying me or needing attention. Do not give me legal advice. Sort what I write into: HAS A REAL DEADLINE, NEEDS A DECISION, NEEDS INFORMATION I DON'T HAVE, and NOT ACTUALLY TODAY'S PROBLEM. Keep each item to one line, in my own words where possible. Here it is: [PASTE]

02

Turn a panic list into a plan

 
I have a list of separation tasks and I am overwhelmed. Turn each item into the smallest concrete next action. Do not add legal advice. If a task appears to require professional advice, label it PROFESSIONAL CHECK rather than telling me what to do. Group the rest into TODAY, THIS WEEK, LATER. Keep each action to one sentence. My list: [PASTE]

03

Fact / assumption sorter

 
Below are things I believe about my separation. Sort each into FACT (something I could evidence), ASSUMPTION (something I believe but have not verified), or FEAR (something I am worried might happen). Do not reassure me and do not predict outcomes. Where something is an assumption, tell me what information would confirm or disprove it. [PASTE]

Message decoder

 
Below is a message I received from my former partner. Do not interpret motives, diagnose behaviour, or tell me what they meant. Tell me only: (1) what question, if any, actually requires an answer; (2) what is logistics; (3) what is commentary that needs no response. Then draft a reply that answers only the logistics, in plain, neutral, unemotional language, under 60 words. [PASTE]

Help me prepare for family dispute resolution in Australia.

Financial chaos to table

 
Help me organise my separation finances using only the information I provide. Create a table with ITEM, TYPE (asset / debt / income / expense / super), NAME HELD IN, APPROXIMATE VALUE, SOURCE OF THAT FIGURE, and VERIFIED? (yes/no). Do not estimate values I have not given you. Do not advise on entitlements. List anything I appear to be missing as a separate QUESTIONS section. [PASTE]
