Use stand-ins: [Landlord], [Kid A], [my street]. The chat writes just as well without the real thing.
Don't type symptoms, medicines, or test results. Write your questions on paper and bring them to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Emergency: call 911. This card has no box to fill in, on purpose.
The chat doesn't know today's price, what's in stock, or this week's sale. Read the shelf tag, the store's own page, or call the store.
A letter the chat writes is not legal advice. For a lease, school, airline, or town rule, open the page printed on your paper or call the office. Court, eviction, custody, immigration: stop and call a lawyer or legal aid (in NJ, Legal Services of New Jersey).
You're responsible for what you file. Don't ask the chat to fill in a tax or benefits form, and never type your SSN or income. Use the agency's own site or the number on a letter you trust. Free tax help exists (IRS VITA sites). If anyone — a caller, a pop-up, a page, or a chat — asks for a password, a code, gift cards, a wire, or crypto, or promises a bot will earn you money: stop, hang up or close it, and ask a person you trust.
| If this happens | Do this |
|---|---|
| It's typing too much, or something you don't want | Click Stop — the square that replaces the send arrow while it's writing |
| You closed the tab by mistake | Ctrl+Shift+T (Mac: Cmd+Shift+T). It comes back. |
| The chat got strange, long, or off track | Click New chat (a pencil or plus, usually near the top). Clean page. |
| You're on a shared or library computer | Before you leave: click your initial or picture → Log out / Sign out, then close the browser |
| You pasted something from the don't-paste card | Don't paste it again to check. Delete that chat (the ⋯ menu next to its name → Delete). If it was a password or code, change it on the real site. If it was a bank or card number, call the number on the back of your card. Tell a person you trust. |
| Stuck after two honest tries | Stop. Book a human. It's not you — these sites change often. |
Using only the words I typed below, tell me: 1) what they want me to do 2) by when 3) what the paper says happens if I do nothing Do not add rules, rights, or amounts. If a date or amount is not in my words, write MISSING. Plain words, 3 short lines. --- Beginning November 3, recycling collection in Zone B moves from Tuesday to Thursday. Containers must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. Bulk items require a $15 sticker, available at Town Hall. ---
A good short answer:
1) Put recycling at the curb on Thursday instead of Tuesday (Zone B), by 6 a.m. Bulk items need a $15 sticker from Town Hall.
2) Starting November 3.
3) MISSING — the notice doesn't say.
MISSING is a good answer. It means the chat didn't make something up.
The questions stay. You write only the lines from the paper, between the dashes.

A good answer has three short lines. If the paper never says what happens when you do nothing, line 3 is MISSING.
Your answer will be worded differently. That's normal. Check it has the same parts.
Copy the questions from the filled example. Put your underlined lines between the dashes. Leave out anything you covered.
