Pantry stock-take

Q: How do I use the “Pantry stock-take” prompt?

1. Copy the prompt: Tap “Copy prompt”. It works the same wherever you live. 2. Paste it into your AI assistant: Use ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Gemini or another assistant you trust. If the prompt mentions your calendar, email or files, connect them or paste the details in. 3. Make it a habit: This one is meant to run monthly. Use your assistant's scheduled tasks or reminders if it has them, or set a calendar reminder to paste it again. 4. Approve before anything happens: Read what your agent drafts. Nothing should be sent, booked, bought or paid for without your yes.
