Worked example
A fictional business, so you can see what to paste in and what a good answer looks like. The example answer was written with AI help and its numbers and dates were checked; your AI's answer will be worded differently, so check it the same way.
Sample input (what you paste in)
Notes (Tidewater Plant Shop): new shipment of calatheas; workshop "Repotting 101" Sat Nov 7, $25; tip: water less in winter; we're closed Nov 11.
Example output (illustrative)
Subject: Calatheas are back (and a repotting workshop) Hi plant people, a big shipment of calatheas arrived this week, and we have a hands-on workshop coming up. New in: calatheas. Patterned leaves, happy in low light. Takeaway: keep them out of cold drafts. Workshop: Repotting 101, Saturday Nov 7, $25. Bring one plant; we supply the soil. Takeaway: book early, spaces are limited. Winter tip: water less. Most houseplants grow slowly in winter. Takeaway: check the soil 2 cm down before watering. Note: we're closed on November 11. See you in the shop, The Tidewater team
Check before you use it: Check dates, prices and claims like 'spaces are limited' (only say it if it's true).

Before you use it: what to check
Check yourself
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
