Handy Prompts: Quick Script

Note: Today’s prompt, while simple in context, requires you to have some technical knowledge of Python code. If that’s not something you’re interested in, check out my other prompts here.

Our personal and work days are filled with little tasks. While the time spent on these tasks may seem minimal, they tend to add up to some significant disruption. Utilizing code to help with these remedial tasks has typically been something reserved for developers, but ChatGPT makes now puts this power in the hands of technically-minded folks with no coding experience.

Add tasks to a to-do list, convert currencies, check weather at a given location — these are some of the quick Python scripts ChatGPT can generate for you, all from a simple question.

what to expect

ChatGPT will provide you with a Python script that performs the requested functionality. Keep in mind that there will often be bits of the code that need slight modification, such as adding API keys or details on a desired parameter.

If you have questions about how the script works, ask it as needed. ChatGPT will also provide instructions on how to run your quick script. If you need more details or handholding in setting it up, just ask follow up questions and it will provide.
