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

Act as a career coach. I'm considering a move from [YOUR CURRENT WORK, e.g. retail store manager] to [CAREER YOU WANT TO TRY, e.g. corporate trainer]. Ask me five questions, one at a time, about how I like to work, what drains me and what I need from a job. Then: 1) Write a realistic day in my life in that career, from morning to evening, including the dull and hard parts. 2) Describe year one and year five in a short paragraph each. 3) Score the career on pay, job security, flexibility, work-life balance, time to first paycheck and how easily I could pivot later, with one sentence on each. 4) List the assumptions I'm making and a low-cost way to test each one in the next 30 days.

AI interviews you, then writes a realistic day in your life in the new career, a look at year one and year five, and a scorecard on pay, security and balance. You end with cheap ways to test it.
