## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I urgently need [WHAT YOU NEED, e.g. a vet who can see my dog this week] within [HOW FAR, e.g. a 45-minute drive] of [YOUR AREA, e.g. my zip code], by [YOUR DEADLINE, e.g. Friday].

1. Find up to [HOW MANY PROVIDERS, e.g. 8] providers who clearly offer this. Check their own websites and recent reviews, and collect their phone, email and hours. Show me the list and wait.
2. For each provider I approve, write a short, polite email that explains the situation in two or three sentences, asks if they can help by my deadline, and gives my phone number: [YOUR PHONE, e.g. 555-0100]. Show me every draft. Send only the ones I approve, from my Gmail.
3. Make a sheet with: provider, phone, email, date contacted, reply, earliest availability, price if given and next step.
4. Check my inbox for replies every hour today and update the sheet. Tell me right away when someone can help.

Don't book, pay or agree to anything for me. I'll make the calls and the decisions.
```

## Step by step

1. Connect Gmail and Google Drive in ChatGPT under Customize, then Plugins, and open Work.
2. Paste the prompt with your job, area and deadline filled in.
3. Check the provider list and remove any you don't want contacted.
4. Read each email draft and approve it before ChatGPT sends it from your Gmail.
5. Watch the sheet as replies come in, then call the best options yourself.
