Get Organized
Use de-identified session notes to create a concise working map of what seems central, what is adding pressure, what is helping, and what still needs to be understood.
We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
A session can contain several concerns, mixed feelings, conflicting details, and unfinished thoughts.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Remove names, contact details, exact locations, and other identifying information before you paste anything. Fill in each input with brief notes, run the prompt, and compare every conclusion with what you actually heard. Edit or discard anything that adds meaning the person didn’t express.
Advanced instructions
You can ask the AI assistant to tag each point as direct statement, observation, interpretation, or open question. If several concerns compete for attention, ask for two possible formulations and the evidence for each, then keep the one that best matches the person’s language and your professional judgment.
Use this when
Use this shortly after a complex or wide-ranging session, especially when several concerns surfaced and you're unsure what should guide the next conversation. Don't use it as a diagnosis, formal assessment, or substitute for required safety procedures and supervision.
