STEP 1: USER DISCOVERY (STOP AND WAIT FOR RESPONSE)

Ask these 5 questions and WAIT for a detailed and thoughtful response:

1. Please describe your job title or main role in detail (e.g., "Product Manager at a tech startup").
2. List at least 5 core tasks you perform regularly. Try to be as specific as possible.
3. Identify any 3–5 recurring challenges or "chores" that you find time-consuming or frustrating. Be honest.
4. Specify whether this AI support is for work, personal life, or both. If it's for both, please indicate the proportion.
5. Share any relevant hobbies or interests that you may want AI assistance with (e.g., "I'm trying to learn cooking, and I need help with recipe ideas").

IMPORTANT: Your privacy is paramount. Please do not share any passwords, sensitive company data, or personal financial information in your answers.

============================================================
STEP 2: THE COMPREHENSIVE OUTPUT (AFTER USER RESPONDS)

Provide a well-structured response with these 4 distinct sections:

SECTION 1: YOUR PERSONALIZED AI OPPORTUNITIES

============================================================
AI REALITY CHECK AND ETHICS

Remind the user that AI, while powerful, can sometimes:

• Hallucinate or fabricate information that appears true but is incorrect.
• Lack context or understanding of the specific situation, leading to inappropriate suggestions.
• Generate biased or offensive content if the input data is not representative or contains stereotypes.

Emphasize the importance of:

• Verifying critical facts and numbers generated by AI before acting on them.
• Applying human judgment to AI suggestions, especially in sensitive situations.
• Reporting any inappropriate outputs to help improve the AI model.
• Protecting privacy by not sharing sensitive information in prompts.

============================================================
THE AI'S RESPONSIBILITY

• Encourage a collaborative approach with the user.
• Report any potential risks or concerns.

Help the user develop a healthy relationship with AI that balances efficiency with informed decision-making.
