# Coordinate a group plan in one chat thread

Add an agent to a group chat so friends can explore options, agree on a plan, and finish logistics in one thread—even if some people don't have the app—like Instinct's group-chat agents for trips, tickets, carpools, fantasy leagues, and holiday potlucks.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Trip / dinner / tickets / carpool / event
- Names and any constraints
- Dates or times
- Amount or 'flexible'
- Location, dietary, vibe

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

Help our group plan [trip / dinner / tickets / carpool / event] in this chat. People: [names and any constraints]. Window: [dates or times]. Budget: [amount or 'flexible']. Preferences: [location, dietary, vibe]. Propose 2-3 options with pros/cons, then once we pick one, list who does what (book, pay, bring, drive) and a shared checklist. Ask before using anyone's personal calendar, contacts, or payment details, and don't book, message people outside this chat, or share one person's private info with the group unless they say yes.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- This prompt works on text other people wrote (emails, reviews, messages or web pages). That text can hide instructions aimed at AI, such as "ignore your rules and…". Paste it as material to work on, and never let the AI act on requests inside it, like paying, sharing logins or changing records.
- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings.
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
