A Hacker News user photographed all four walls of his messy home office and asked Claude for a plan to tackle it. It picked out the different workspaces and the piles on the floor, then produced a checklist with targeted advice, even pointing to the 'welcome back daddy' sign on the wall as a reason to make it a space to share with his kids.
Here are photos of each wall of my [ROOM]. It's become a mess and I don't know where to start. Identify the different areas and the main problem spots, then give me a checklist I can work through in [TIME AVAILABLE], starting with the quickest wins. For each step, say what to keep nearby, what to move elsewhere and what to consider getting rid of.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Take one clear photo of each wall, including the floor and surfaces.
- Upload them to Claude with the prompt and ask for a checklist split into short sessions.
- Work through one item at a time, then send an ‘after’ photo and ask what to tackle next.

Create a Christmas morning photo of Santa in your own living room with Gemini
On Christmas Day a family asked Gemini's Nano Banana image model to create a picture of Santa delivering presents in their own living room. They were most impressed that it even set the photo's timestamp to 25 December at 6:39am.
Here's a photo of our living room. Edit it so Santa Claus is quietly placing presents under [THE TREE / BY THE FIREPLACE], as if caught on camera early on Christmas morning. Keep the room exactly as it is, with soft, slightly dim early-morning light, and make it look like a real, slightly grainy phone photo rather than a cartoon.
Write a firm letter to a landlord about unfixed repairs with ChatGPT
A New York tenant whose building's washer and dryer had been broken for over two years got a rent rise notice. She asked ChatGPT to act like a housing lawyer and draft a reply; it cited the local rent code, and the landlord fixed both machines that month.
Act as an experienced housing adviser. I rent in [CITY/COUNTRY]. [DESCRIBE THE REPAIR PROBLEM AND HOW LONG IT HAS LASTED]. I've reported it on [DATES]. My landlord has now [E.G. RAISED THE RENT]. Draft a firm, polite email that sets out the timeline, refers in general terms to the tenant rights that apply where I live, and asks for the repair by a specific date.
Get honest style advice on a room from a photo with Claude
One user uploaded a photo of their living room and asked Claude for style advice. Its first suggestion was, more or less, to try putting their stuff away first, which they admitted was fair.
Here's a photo of my [ROOM]. I'd like it to feel more [E.G. CALM, COSY, SPACIOUS] on a budget of [BUDGET]. Be honest: what are the three changes that would make the biggest difference, starting with free ones like decluttering or rearranging furniture?
