/readthis
Helps you understand a photo of a letter, sign or form.
The full prompt
/readthis I've attached a photo of a [letter / sign / form]. Tell me in plain English: what it is, who it's from, what it's asking me to do, and any deadline or amount. List the actions as short steps. If any part is blurry or unclear, tell me instead of guessing. My question: [what you need to know].
Replace the highlighted [brackets] with your own details, then send.
What you're asking
You ask the AI to read a photo and explain it simply. You get what it is, what to do, and any deadline.
Give it
- A clear, well-lit photo of the whole page
- What you need to know
- Who it seems to be from
You need: An AI app that accepts photos (most do, some only on paid plans).
No photo upload? Type the important parts of the text in instead.
Check: Check deadlines and amounts against the original. If a letter asks for money or personal details, confirm it's real by contacting the sender directly.
Filled-in example
/readthis I've attached a photo of a letter. Tell me in plain English: what it is, who it's from, what it's asking me to do, and any deadline or amount. List the actions as short steps. If any part is blurry or unclear, tell me instead of guessing. My question: do I need to do anything, and by when?
Use it in any AI chat. The slash word is a label, not a built-in command; the prompt does the work, and answers vary by app. How these work
