Get the house guest-ready with a chore game that cheers you on
It puts the litter box before the vacuuming and tells you to go make a cup of tea when you've earned it.

How can AI help me clean the house before guests come?
Give ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini your full chore list and your deadline, and ask it to run the jobs as a game, one chore at a time. Any of the three works in a normal chat. If you're short on time, tell it and it'll cut the nice-to-haves first. If you lose steam on long lists, the check-ins and break reminders help you keep going.

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
Let's play Chore Roulette. Guests arrive [WHEN GUESTS ARRIVE, e.g. Thursday at 2pm] and I have [TIME I HAVE, e.g. 2 hours tonight, 3 tomorrow]. Here's everything that needs doing: [CHORE LIST, e.g. guest bathroom, vacuum, clear the table]. First, sort the list into a smart order (jobs that make mess before jobs that clean it up, must-dos before nice-to-haves) and show it to me so I can tweak it. Give each chore a time estimate. When I type start, give me one chore at a time, like a spin. When I type done, cheer me on in one short line, tell me how far through I am and give me the next one. About every 45 minutes, tell me to take a five-minute break. If I say I'm running out of time, drop the nice-to-haves and tell me what guests will actually notice.
List every job before holiday guests arrive and get a chore game in a smart order. Check in after each one for a cheer, a break reminder and your next spin.
