Playful Self Interview
5 promptsEight Silly Questions First
1/30✨ What it does
Asks eight playful interview questions based on facts you already wrote, then waits. The later recap may only use your answers.
Interview me about myself for a [SETTING] using only facts I already wrote: [PASTE FACTS]. Ask 8 numbered questions that are playful, not diagnostic. After the list, stop. When I later answer, you will write a 120 word recap that uses my answers and tags any missing hometown, year or job [VERIFY] instead of inventing one. For this output, questions plus a 25 word note on how to answer in one line each. Avoid health, trauma and money. Keep it light.
Pro tip: Answer in one line each so the recap stays snappy.
Hot Take About My Day
2/30✨ What it does
Turns a day log into three labelled hot takes for an audience you name. Fill any missing mood yourself before you post the line.
Turn my ordinary day into three playful hot takes. Day log: [PASTE DAY LOG]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Each take is 40 words, labelled Overstated, Fair, and Too quiet. Stay inside the log. If a take needs a feeling I did not name, write [VERIFY] rather than inventing a mood. No advice. End with a 20 word line I can post if I want, with names removed. This is a game, not a personality test.
Pro tip: Remove coworker names from the log before you paste it.
Two Truths About Me
3/30✨ What it does
Builds a Two Truths and a Lie set from facts you will own plus a kind lie direction. Add a real second truth if the prompt asks for one.
Help me play Two Truths and a Lie about myself at [EVENT]. True facts I will own: [TRUE FACTS]. Fake fact direction I want (keep it kind): [LIE DIRECTION]. Output three labelled lines I can read aloud, then a 30 word reveal script. Do not invent a true fact. If I gave fewer than two truths, write [VERIFY] and ask for another. The lie must not touch health, money, other people's secrets or anything on [NO GO]. Keep each line under 16 words.
Pro tip: Practice the reveal so you do not forget which line is the lie.
Desert Island Me Kit
4/30✨ What it does
Packs a seven-item kit from loves and skills you named, plus a postcard to a friend. Leave slots empty rather than inventing a hobby.
Pack a playful desert-island kit that is about me, not survival myths. Things I already love: [LOVE LIST]. Skills I named: [SKILL LIST]. Output 7 items, each with a 20 word why-it-is-me line. Stay inside the lists. If I named fewer than 7 loves, write [VERIFY] on empty slots; do not invent a hobby. Add a 40 word island postcard from me to [FRIEND NAME] that uses only listed loves. Mark it as fiction.
Pro tip: Name objects you actually own so the kit feels like you.
Movie Night Cast of Me
5/30✨ What it does
Turns your week notes into a three-act movie-night recap using friends you named. Cut any beat you did not actually live.
Cast a movie night about a week in my life. Week notes: [PASTE WEEK]. Genre I want: [GENRE]. Output: title of 5 words, three act labels, and which friend from [FRIEND LIST] plays which beat if I named them. Do not invent a friend, a job or a fight. If a beat needs a scene I did not live, write [VERIFY] and cut that beat. Keep it kind. No celebrity lookalikes. End with a 25 word voiceover I could read.
Pro tip: Pick a genre that already matches the week, like caper for errands.
Origin Stories
5 promptsHow I Got Into a Hobby
6/30✨ What it does
Writes a short first-person origin for a hobby from one memory you paste. Answer the missing object, place or person before you tell it.
Write a 150 word origin story for how I got into [HOBBY] using only [PASTE MEMORY]. Keep first person. Include one object, one place and one person from the memory. If any of those three is missing, write [VERIFY] and ask me a single question instead of inventing it. After the story, add three alternate opening lines of 12 words. This is a party story, not a biography. Skip years I did not give.
Pro tip: Start with the object in your hands; people remember that.
Hometown Myth I Actually Lived
7/30✨ What it does
Retells a hometown memory as a short myth that keeps the real ending. Check streets and names before you share it outside the room.
Turn this hometown memory into a 130 word myth-style story that stays true. Memory: [PASTE MEMORY]. Town label I allow: [TOWN LABEL]. Keep the real ending. Dress it with weather and food only if they appear in the paste. If a name or street is missing, write [VERIFY]; do not invent a landmark. Output the story, then a 40 word 'what actually happened' box. Mark the myth as playful fiction sitting on real facts.
Pro tip: Use a town label like 'the river town' if you do not want the real name public.
First Job Comic Strip
8/30✨ What it does
Scripts six comic panels from first-job notes you are willing to tell. Leave speech blank where the notes are silent.
Turn my first-job notes into a 6 panel comic script. Notes: [PASTE FIRST JOB NOTES]. Job title I allow in public: [PUBLIC TITLE]. Each panel: picture line under 10 words, speech under 12 words. Stay inside the notes. Do not invent a boss quote, a wage or a firing. If a panel needs a fact I did not give, write [VERIFY] in the speech. Keep coworkers as roles, not surnames. End with a 20 word title card.
Pro tip: Replace surnames with roles before you paste the notes.
Family Recipe Story
9/30✨ What it does
Tells a short dish story from family notes and a cook you may name. Confirm missing steps with the cook before you treat it as a recipe.
Write a 120 word story about [DISH] from family notes: [PASTE NOTES]. Cook I may name: [COOK NAME]. Keep ingredients and steps only if they appear in the notes. If a step or a hometown is missing, write [VERIFY] rather than inventing a spice or a village. This is not a tested recipe and not medical advice. Add a 30 word toast I can say before we eat. Skip anyone who did not agree to be named.
Pro tip: Ask the cook which details are public before you read the toast.
Name Story in Three Beats
10/30✨ What it does
Splits your name story into three beats from facts you already know. Ask a family member before you fill an empty beat.
Tell the story of my name in three beats for [AUDIENCE]. Facts I know: [NAME FACTS]. Beats: who chose it, what it was supposed to mean in my family's words, and what I answer to now. 50 words per beat. Do not invent an etymology, a country or a relative. If a beat is empty, write [VERIFY] and give me one question to ask a family member. Keep living relatives off the page unless they appear in [NAME FACTS] with permission noted as [PERMISSION].
Pro tip: Write the permission note in the facts if a relative is fine being named.
Dating Safe Bios
5 promptsDating Bio Three Lines
11/30✨ What it does
Drafts three dating-profile lines from facts you are willing to show, in two tones. Skip any line that needs a fact you did not give.

Each line max 18 words: one about [HOBBY], one about [WEEKEND HABIT], one about [WHAT I WANT NEXT]. Do not invent a job title, height, age or photo. If a fact is missing, write [VERIFY] and skip that line. No jokes about other people. Keep it dating-safe: no workplace, no children's full names, no address. Offer two tones: warmer and drier.
Pro tip: Match the lines to photos you already have, not photos you hope to take.
First Message That Stays True
12/30✨ What it does
Writes four first messages from overlap between their public notes and your safe facts. If there is no overlap, add a real shared detail first.
Draft 4 first messages I could send to [THEIR PUBLIC PROFILE NOTES] using only overlap with [MY SAFE FACTS]. Each message 25 to 40 words, one question, no compliment on looks. Do not invent a trip, a job or a pet on either side. If there is no overlap, write [VERIFY] and ask me for a public detail I actually share. Keep it dating-safe. No asking for a meetup place I did not choose.
Pro tip: Copy their public words, not a private guess about their life.
Prompt Deck for a Date
13/30✨ What it does
Makes ten conversation cards from topics you already enjoy, with a backup on each. Fill anecdote blanks with stories you actually want to tell.
Build a 10 card conversation deck for a [DATE TYPE] with topics I already enjoy: [TOPIC LIST]. Off-limits: [OFF LIMITS]. Each card: a 12 word question and a 10 word backup if it flops. Stay inside [TOPIC LIST]. Do not invent a story from my life to tell; if a card needs an anecdote, write [VERIFY] and leave a blank I will fill. Dating-safe: no salary, no family planning, no tests. End with a 20 word kind close-out line.
Pro tip: Keep the deck in notes, not on the table, so it feels like a chat.
Values in Plain Words
14/30✨ What it does
Rewrites your values notes into an 80 word dating-safe paragraph plus two shorter versions. Add a real scene if a value is only a slogan.
Turn my rough notes into a dating-safe values paragraph of 80 words. Notes: [PASTE VALUES NOTES]. Must include [VALUE ONE] and [VALUE TWO] if they appear. Do not invent a belief, a vote or a family rule. If a value is a slogan with no example, write [VERIFY] and ask me for one scene from last month. Then give a 25 word version for a profile and a 25 word version I would only say in person. No therapy claims.
Pro tip: Use last month's scene, not a hypothetical, so it sounds like you.
Deal Breaker Check Without Drama
15/30✨ What it does
Turns your deal-breaker list into five short questions with a kind exit line. Make vague items specific before you ask them.
Help me phrase 5 dating-safe deal-breaker questions from my list: [DEAL BREAKER LIST]. Setting: [SETTING]. Each question under 14 words, plus a 12 word kind exit if the answer is no. Do not invent a deal breaker. If an item is vague, write [VERIFY] and ask me to make it specific with a fact from my life. No medical, legal or financial advice. Keep the tone calm. Output a table.

Do not invent a job, a city or a punchline. If a fact is missing, write [VERIFY] in that beat. Keep it dating-safe and work-safe. No inside jokes about people who are not in [NAME ALLOW LIST].
Pro tip: Time it once in a hallway so you do not rush the question.
Name Tent Bio
17/30✨ What it does

Write a name-tent bio for [EVENT] in 18 words, then a 40 word backup if someone asks more. Facts: [SAFE FACTS]. Must mention [HOBBY OR ROLE]. Do not invent an employer or a credential. If the hobby needs a detail I did not give, write [VERIFY]. Offer a playful version and a plain version. Skip jokes about my body or age. This will be read by strangers at a table.
Pro tip: Print the playful version only if the table is already informal.
Circle Icebreaker Answer
18/30✨ What it does
Shapes a 45 word and a 15 word true answer to a room icebreaker. If your facts do not fit, use the near-answer instead of a fake story.
The icebreaker is [ICEBREAKER QUESTION]. Help me answer as myself using [SAFE FACTS] in 45 words, then in 15 words. Keep it true. Do not invent a travel story or a pet. If my facts do not answer the question, write [VERIFY] and give me a true near-answer plus a joke that admits the gap. Audience: [ROOM TYPE]. No roasting anyone else.
Pro tip: Memorize the 15 word version; the long one is only if the circle is small.

Write a 50 word intro [HOST NAME] can read about me at [EVENT]. Facts they may use: [SAFE FACTS]. How we actually know each other: [HOW WE MET]. Do not invent an award, a job or a shared trip. If how we met is thin, write [VERIFY] and ask me for one real scene. Keep it fond and short. Add a 12 word handoff so I can start talking. No surprises I did not list.
Pro tip: Send the intro to the host the day before so they can practice names.
Group Chat Join Line

Write captions for 10 photos I describe. Descriptions: [PHOTO DESCRIPTIONS]. For each: a 12 word playful caption and a 8 word alt text. Stay inside the descriptions.

Do not invent a cafe, a gym or a shortcut. If a place has no habit, write [VERIFY] and ask me for one. Output as a table. Skip addresses. This is a memory game, not a public map I will publish with pins.
Pro tip: Use nicknames for places if you might screenshot the table.
Soundtrack of a Commute
28/30✨ What it does
Assigns songs you already like to legs of a commute you described. Leave a leg silent if no listed song fits.

Do not invent a street, a delay or a song. If a leg has no matching song, write [VERIFY] and leave it silent. Add a 50 word voiceover I could record. Keep it playful. No claims about official audio.
Pro tip: Record the voiceover on the actual commute once, then trim it.

This stays private unless I share it.
Pro tip: Pick a date you still have photos from so the notes stay concrete.
Boast and a Grain of Salt
30/30✨ What it does
Writes a short boast plus a grain-of-salt line from win facts you can stand behind. Name a real limit if the prompt asks for one.
Help me boast kindly about [WIN] for a [ROOM]. Facts I can stand behind: [WIN FACTS]. Write a 60 word boast, then a 25 word grain-of-salt line that names one limit from the facts.
