Can AI write a babysitter info sheet?
Yes. It puts allergies, medications and emergency contacts at the top, then routines and house rules, on one printable page.
01Why bot
- Organizing details by importance is easy for AI.
- Critical info first prevents mistakes.
- It leaves blanks for anything you didn't give it.

How each run works: we fill the prompt with a made-up sample, run it once in Llama 3.3 70B, and GPT-OSS 120B grades the answer against the prompt's own rules. Word limits are counted by code, and every quote flagged as made up is checked against the full answer. Your results can differ. How we test.
