Research
Fact-checking
Four takes on one question. Consensus, or a list of things to verify.
What changed here in the last two years? Cite sources, and say where you're unsure.
- Add a search-grounded tool to the mix

Writing
Four drafts, one screen
Keep the best sentence from each.
Half as long, twice as direct. Keep my voice; no adjectives I didn't use.

- Follow up: “one sentence shorter”
Students
Cross-check before you trust it
Three explanations that agree are probably sound. One that differs sends you to the textbook.
Explain this in plain language with one worked example. Then what people get wrong.
- Follow up: “quiz me, one question at a time”
- Check your institution's rules on AI first
Translation
Tone, not just words
Literal translation is solved. Register isn't.
Into Gujarati, for a formal client email. Which phrases did you change to stay polite?

- Follow up: “warmer, less formal”
Product
Names & positioning
Four models in parallel spread wider than one model four times.
Ten names. One line on what each implies, one risk. No two-noun compounds.
- Follow up: “hardest to trademark, and why?”
Documents
Contracts, papers, logs
Long and unfriendly. Let them argue about what the clause means.
What does this oblige me to do? Flag anything one-sided and quote the wording.
- Right-click → Ask Puchne, Show Prompt on
- Reading help, not legal or medical advice
Learning
Three teachers, three analogies
Keep the metaphor that clicks. The rest cost nothing.
Explain like I'm 12 — one analogy, no jargon. Then where the analogy breaks.
- Follow up: “now at degree level”
Comparison
Which one to pay for
Benchmarks are averages. Your work isn't.
[Your hardest recurring task, verbatim, with no hint which model you prefer.]
- Same line-up every time — keep it fair
- “Ignored half the instructions” shows at a glance
Everyday
Trips, recipes, small print
You'd never open four tabs. You'll happily read four answers.
Three days in this city in November, walkable, one thing per day. Assume rain.
