ROBOSTOTLE'S ASCENT ADDED TO THE ARCADE
The RoBoStOtLe PREP Method isn't just theory—it delivers immediate, practical results. See how three users simplified their lives and boosted their capabilities by using this simple framework to communicate with AI.
"I was asked to referee a major tournament after a long break. Instead of sifting through a 100-page rulebook, I used the PREP method to get AI to create a 12-minute deep-dive podcast I could listen to on my drive to the event. I was instantly sharp, refreshed, and confident—the prep worked perfectly!"
💡 The PREP Prompt Snippet
P (Prompt): Review the uploaded official rulebook for the sanctioned event. R (Role): Act as a veteran martial arts analyst and commentator. E (Explicit): Focus only on Section 4 (Fouls/Penalties) and Section 6 (Scoring Criteria). Convert the summary into a script for a 12-15 minute, plain-language podcast. P (Purpose): To create an audio refresher that ensures I'm expert-ready to referee the event.
"Starting university felt overwhelming with class registration, a part-time job, and gym goals. Using PREP, I told the AI exactly what I needed. It built me an optimized, color-coded first-year schedule that balanced mandatory courses with my work hours and even included time for the gym. The included pros/cons analysis made my final decision easy!"
💡 The PREP Prompt Snippet
P (Prompt): Create a balanced 1st-year university schedule for a Computer Science program. R (Role): Act as an academic advisor and scheduling expert. E (Explicit): Integrate 15 hours of part-time work and 4 gym sessions weekly. Provide three elective options that meet degree requirements and align with my interest in digital art. Generate a pros and cons list for each option. P (Purpose): To finalize a complete, sustainable, and optimized university schedule.
"Between managing a classroom of 25 students and keeping my own family organized, I was drowning in prep work. I used PREP to have AI design a 4-week custom lesson plan AND a synchronized family meal plan. This freed up hours of my weekend, giving me more time to focus on my students and my kids. It’s a total game-changer for working parents!"
💡 The PREP Prompt Snippet
P (Prompt): Generate a combined 4-week lesson plan and family meal plan. R (Role): Act as a curriculum coordinator and family logistics manager. E (Explicit): Lesson Plan: Must meet 5th-grade math standards for fractions and include three hands-on activities per week. Meal Plan: Must be 30-minute recipes, peanut-free, and use a maximum of 6 ingredients. P (Purpose): To streamline professional and family preparation for the next month.
"I used to go to the mall and pay big money for those high-end travel agents to plan our family trips. This year, I fired them and used my own PREP Method.
I asked the AI to act like an expensive financial strategist and plan three distinct, 3-week European trips. The result was incredible—it found us 'hidden gem' locations and provided three separate budget tiers (low, medium, luxury) for each, including full pricing for excursions and food. It was better than any human agent I've ever used, and it was free.
Thanks to this prompt, we are headed to Albania for 3 weeks this summer with a perfect itinerary."
💡 The PREP Prompt Snippet
P (Prompt): Plan three budget-friendly, 3-week European trips for my family. R (Role): Act as an elite, high-end travel planner and financial strategist who specializes in finding high-value experiences that fit strict budgets. E (Explicit): Find three unique European destinations, avoiding expensive tourist traps. For EACH location, provide three distinct budget tiers (Shoestring, Comfortable, Luxury) with estimated total costs for flights, lodging, and food. Include 3 unique excursions for each tier. P (Purpose): To create a deeply researched, actionable itinerary that maximizes our experience and budget better than a human travel agent.
"What started as a simple school project turned into a full-blown obsession. I used to get stuck on broken code for hours, but with the PREP method, I can now build an entire playable video game in less than three prompts.
Last weekend, my friends and I had an idea for a Pac-Man style game, but customized with our own inside jokes and characters. I put the concept into a PREP structure, and the AI gave me code so professional it felt like something we could sell. My friends couldn't believe it—if they just typed in the prompt, they could build it too. I'm going to keep practicing, but I always go back to the PREP method to start. It's a cheat code for coding."
💡 The PREP Prompt Snippet
P (Prompt): Create a fully functional Python script for a 2D maze chase game. R (Role): Act as a Senior Unity Developer and Python Expert. E (Explicit): Base the mechanics on Pac-Man but replace the ghosts with 4 custom enemy agents [Names] and replace 'dots' with 'pizza slices.' Include a scoring system and a 'Game Over' screen. The code must be clean, annotated, and ready to run. P (Purpose): To rapidly prototype a professional-quality game based on a specific group theme.
"My morning commute used to be wasted time. Now, it is where I get my best work done. I simply dictate my rambling thoughts while driving—listing everything I need to do—and then transcribe that messy audio file when I get to the office.
I feed that transcript into the PREP method, and the result is incredible. It instantly summarizes my priorities, builds a timed agenda for the day, and even drafts two separate emails: one to my team outlining the plan, and a separate plain-language update for my superior. It’s almost like having an executive assistant who is even smarter than me."
💡 The PREP Prompt Snippet
P (Prompt): Review the attached transcript of my morning brain dump. R (Role): Act as a Chief of Staff and Executive Assistant. E (Explicit): 1. Extract the top 3 priorities and create a time-blocked agenda for today. 2. Draft a motivational email to my direct reports assigning tasks. 3. Draft a concise, plain-language status update for my Director. P (Purpose): To transform unstructured thoughts into a clear, actionable execution plan for the workday.
