ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
I've scanned the manual for my [THE APPLIANCE, e.g. new front-load washer]. The people who'll use it are [WHO USES IT, e.g. me, my teenagers and my mom]. Make me a one-page cheat sheet from this manual only. Include: - The 5 settings or buttons we'll use most, and when to use each one. - What every error code or warning light means and the first fix to try. - The cleaning and upkeep jobs, and how often to do them. - Anything that could void the warranty or cause damage. Use short lines and plain words, big enough to print and stick on the wall. Don't add anything that isn't in the manual. If a page looks missing, tell me which section to scan again.
Scan the pages of any paper manual with your phone. You get a one-page cheat sheet with the settings you'll actually use, what the error codes mean and the cleaning steps.
