Which AI should you use today?

You are my senior advisor. Before answering, ask me 3 clarifying questions about: my goal, my audience, and my constraints. Then give me a step-by-step plan and one example.

I'm attaching a long document. Do three passes: (1) one-paragraph TL;DR, (2) the 5 most important findings with quotes, (3) 3 risks I might miss. Be ruthlessly concise.

Run Deep Research on [topic]. Compare top 5 sources, flag contradictions, then write me a 1-page brief with citations and 3 'what most people miss' insights.

Scan X right now for [topic]. Give me: top 3 trending takes, the loudest dissent, one underrated post, and what a smart marketer would do with this in 24 hours.

[subject], [action], [environment], shot on Arri Alexa 65mm, soft rim light, shallow depth of field, cinematic color grade, hyperreal, --ar 16:9 --style raw --v 7

Style: upbeat indie pop, female vocal, 90 BPM, claps + warm synth.
Lyrics: a 30-second jingle about [brand] that ends with the tagline '[tagline]'. Catchy hook, 2 verses, 1 chorus.

Voice: warm, mid-30s, conversational. Pace: medium with natural pauses.
Use ellipses... for breath. Use ALL CAPS sparingly for emphasis. Read this like you're explaining it to a smart friend over coffee:

[your script]

Build a [type of app] for [audience] that lets users [main action].

- We are [company] and our voice is [tone].

Do NOT add features outside this scope. Ask me 3 clarifying questions first if anything is unclear.

Research [topic]. Give me: (1) the current consensus with 3 sources, (2) one strong dissenting view with source, (3) a 5-bullet summary I could quote in a meeting. Cite everything inline.

In agent mode: audit [feature] across the repo. Propose the smallest safe refactor. Show a diff plan first, then apply — one file at a time, running the test suite after each. Stop and ask if anything is ambiguous.

A [subject] [action] in [environment]. Camera: [slow dolly / handheld / crane]. Lighting: [golden hour / neon / soft key]. Lens: 35mm anamorphic, shallow DOF. Style: Kodak Vision3 500T, cinematic grade. Audio: subtle ambient [sound], one line of dialogue: '[line]'. 8 seconds.

Generate + translate the same avatar into: Malay, Chinese (Mandarin), Bahasa Indonesia, Thai.

Solve this step by step, then verify by working the answer backward. If the two paths disagree, flag it and try again.

Problem: [paste problem]

A [character description] [core action] in [location]. Beat 1 (0–3s): [establishing detail]. Beat 2 (3–7s): [emotional shift]. Beat 3 (7–10s): [payoff]. Camera: [movement]. Lens: 35mm, shallow DOF. Style: Kodak Vision3, cinematic grade.

From my sources only: (1) 5-bullet TL;DR, (2) 3 counter-arguments the authors miss, (3) the 10 quotes I'd cite in a talk — each with source + page. Do not add outside knowledge.

Start with a rough sketch of [scene]. Style transfer to [photoreal Kodak Portra 400 / anime cel-shade / brutalist collage]. Keep composition, upgrade lighting and materials. Then upscale 4×.
