Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

The poster uploaded four pages of their daughter's completed history homework to ChatGPT's study feature. It made a study guide, then offered a 10-question test, on which she scored nine out of ten, and then flashcards, which the poster printed and she copied onto real cards. It was all done in Spanish, ahead of a Friday test.

Agent

ChatGPT

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Turn my child's homework pages into a study guide, a short practice test and flashcards for an upcoming test.

Fill in before running:
- Photos or scans of the homework: [UPLOAD]
- Subject, grade and test date: [DETAILS]
- Language to use: [LANGUAGE]

Rules:
- Use only what's in the homework pages; don't add new topics.
- Keep the study guide short and in plain language for the child's age.
- Ask the quiz questions one at a time and explain any wrong answer.
- Make flashcards with a question on one side and a short answer on the other, ready to print.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A one-page study guide, a 10-question quiz with feedback, and printable flashcards.

You'll know it worked when: my child can answer most quiz questions without looking at the notes.
