A blogger photographed her wardrobe and dictated each section into the ChatGPT app, which turned it into a categorised inventory. From that she had it build seasonal capsule wardrobes and 90-day outfit calendars, so she shops her own wardrobe instead of buying more.
Here is an inventory of my clothes, shoes and accessories: [PASTE OR DICTATE YOUR LIST]. I live in [CLIMATE OR TOWN] and my week usually involves [WORK, SCHOOL RUN, GYM, ETC.]. Group these into a capsule wardrobe for [SEASON], then give me a 30-day outfit calendar using only these items, with a different bag or accessory suggestion for each day.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Go through your wardrobe one section at a time and dictate what’s there into the ChatGPT app (or snap a photo of each section).
- Ask it to tidy that into a categorised list, then build a capsule for the coming season.
- Ask for a 30- to 90-day outfit calendar and keep it on your phone for busy mornings.

Choose a second-hand laptop and negotiate with the seller using ChatGPT
Needing to replace an old ThinkPad T480, a Hacker News user asked ChatGPT to narrow down which model suited their needs, then used it to find a listing and negotiate with the seller. They ended up with a newer ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 and were very happy with it.
I want to buy a second-hand laptop to replace my [CURRENT LAPTOP]. I mainly use it for [USES], my budget is [BUDGET] and I care most about [BATTERY / WEIGHT / KEYBOARD / REPAIRABILITY]. Suggest 3 models and years worth looking for, what spec to aim for and what to check before buying used. Then here's a listing I'm considering: [PASTE AD]. Is the price fair, and can you draft a polite, realistic offer message to the seller?
Sanity-check Black Friday deals with Perplexity
Which? asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for the best Black Friday air fryer deals. Only Perplexity found the experts' top pick and a working discount code, but it misquoted the deal price, so Which? suggests AI as a starting point, not the final word.
I'm thinking of buying [PRODUCT AND MODEL] for [PRICE] at [RETAILER]. Using current sources, tell me: the typical price over the last six months, the lowest recent price, other UK retailers selling it now and their prices, and any valid discount codes. Link every price to its source so I can check it.
Brainstorm gift ideas for the whole family with ChatGPT
One user tried ChatGPT for family gift ideas and found it surprisingly productive, not least because it helped him spot the weak ideas first.
Help me brainstorm gifts. For each person I list, suggest five ideas in different price bands up to [BUDGET], and say why each might suit them. Then tell me which ideas are generic or likely to disappoint. People: [NAME 1: AGE, HOBBIES, WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE]; [NAME 2: ...].
