The prompt that gets copied
I've attached Google's holiday When to Buy guide. Use it to plan my gift shopping. My gift list: [GIFT LIST, e.g. sneakers for Sam, perfume for Mom] My total budget: [TOTAL BUDGET, e.g. $600] Where I'll shop: [ONLINE OR IN STORE, e.g. mostly online] For each gift, tell me which product category in the guide it falls under and the window when deals usually peak. Then build a simple week-by-week shopping calendar from now until the holidays. Flag any gift where waiting for the lowest price risks missing shipping, and suggest a safe buy-by date for those. If a gift isn't covered by the guide, say so plainly and give a sensible default. Split my budget across the gifts and keep a running total. Finish with a short reminder list I can copy into my phone. Remember the guide is based on past patterns, so treat dates as good bets, not promises.
Give AI your gift list and Google's When to Buy guide. You get each gift sorted into the week its deals usually peak, with shipping cutoffs flagged.
