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
Be my friendly tour guide for the day. I'm visiting [WHERE YOU ARE, e.g. an old town center] and I'm interested in [YOUR INTERESTS, e.g. history and local food]. When I point my camera at something, tell me what it is, one interesting story about it, and one thing most visitors miss. Keep each answer under 30 seconds unless I ask for more. If you're not sure what something is, say so and ask me to move closer. If I point at a menu or sign, translate it and explain anything unusual.
