Prompt: The Long Weekend

In a future entry I’m going to describe turning this prompt into an actual agent, but for now, give this multi-step prompt a spin on ChatGPT. (Just copy and paste it into a query window.)

When I ran it, the AI asked me 14 very good questions before giving me the first list of destinations. Also, once it provides results, ask it to dig in further, expand its suggestions in the destination of your choice.

I’d like you to help me brainstorm possibilities for a vacation. The goal is to create a short list of destinations, which relevant information I should consider when making my final choice.

First, here are some assumptions:

1. I’d like to fly to the destination in question.
2. I have a long weekend available; I can fly on Thursday night or Friday morning, and I’ll have to return on Monday or Tuesday.

Please start by asking me questions relevant to the task. Your questions must include my starting location (which you’ll use to determine airport choices), month of the year, a general budget. In addition to these, please ask any other questions you consider important when evaluating potential destinations.

After I answer your questions, please advise on some possible destinations. Include any guidance you can around airfare and lodging prices, especially compared to my budget. You should also inform me of any particular attractions or activities that you think are particularly suitable to my interests.
