The prompt that gets copied
I dropped [LOST ITEM, e.g. an earring back or a tiny screw] somewhere in this area. It's about [ITEM SIZE, e.g. the size of a grain of rice] and [ITEM COLOR, e.g. shiny silver]. I'm uploading a clear photo taken from directly above. Please: 1. Scan the photo carefully, section by section, for anything that matches. 2. If you think you see it, describe exactly where it is using landmarks in the photo (for example 'two inches left of the chair leg, near the dark swirl'). 3. If you're not sure, list your top three possible spots in order of likelihood. 4. If you can't see it, tell me how to retake the photo to give you a better chance (angle, a flashlight held low to the floor, or closer shots of each section).
Take one clear photo from above and say what you dropped. The AI scans it section by section and tells you exactly where to look, using landmarks in the photo.
Step by step
- Stand directly above the area and take a sharp, well-lit photo.
- Upload it with a description of what you lost.
- Ask it to describe the spot using landmarks in the photo.
What you'll get
The likely spot of your lost item, described with landmarks from the photo, or a better way to photograph the area.
