Use ChatGPT to prepare a flight refund challenge
A traveler says ChatGPT helped them press IndiGo for a cancelled-flight refund and recover ₹43,992. The traveler says the airline eventually paid back the full ₹43,992. They did not share the exact messages, forms, or timing, so the account stays broad rather than step-by-step.
Try this prompt
I need help with a cancelled [airline] flight. My booking was [flight number] on [date], and I was offered [alternative option] instead of a refund of [amount]. Here is the full timeline and the airline’s replies: [paste details]. Check which passenger-rights rules apply in [country], identify any weak points or contradictions in the airline’s position, and draft a calm but firm message asking for a full refund by [deadline]. Then draft a second version I can use for [escalation channel]. Stop and ask for my approval before you write anything I would submit, send, pay, delete, or file. Also tell me what evidence to attach.

Tidy a crowded Downloads folder by file type
Claude Cowork organized 2,200 loose files into folders, wrote brief folder summaries, and flagged cleanup candidates after a quick back-and-forth. The exchange took about 20 minutes and left 2,101 files arranged across 11 folders. It also produced 67+ renaming suggestions and identified 2GB of old installers. The rename ideas were about 70% right, and one commenter reported that rolling back the changes did not succeed.
Try this prompt
Open [folder path] and help me clean up my Downloads folder safely. First, inspect the files, cluster them into sensible folders by type or topic, and write a short summary for each group. Show me that proposed structure and wait for my approval before you change anything. After I approve, move files into folders, collect duplicates and outdated installers into a review folder, and ask before any deletion, submission, or permanent action. Finish with a change log listing what was moved or renamed and where each item ended up.

Test an iOS app and collect bugs automatically
Use Claude Code to drive an iOS app through its accessibility tree, visit screens, and return a structured bug report. In one demo, the run finished in eight minutes and surfaced every bug the developer had overlooked. It did this without any XCUITest scripts or prewritten test cases, and the writeup does not list bug totals or say whether any false positives appeared.
Try this prompt
Open [iOS app project path] in [simulator or connected device] and explore the app end to end using the accessibility tree and screenshots. Tap through every reachable screen and flow, enter sample values in forms, and check debug logs for errors. For each issue, return a table with screen, exact steps, expected behavior, actual behavior, and severity. Before you do anything that would send data, make a payment, delete content, or submit a form, pause and ask me to approve that action. Do not change code; only test and report bugs. Stop when you have visited every reachable screen and flow, then give me a concise summary of the problems you found.
