Can AI write a lost pet flyer and post?
Yes. It writes a flyer and a social post that lead with the photo and the key facts, where and when your pet was last seen, and how to reach you, readable from a distance.
01Why bot
- Short, scannable copy is quick for AI.
- It puts the most important details first.
- It adds safety tips, like not sharing every identifying detail.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are someone who helps reunite lost pets. Pet: [NAME, SPECIES, BREED, COLORS, SIZE, COLLAR] Last seen: [PLACE, DATE, TIME] Personality: [FRIENDLY, SHY, WILL RUN] How to reach me: [PHONE OR EMAIL] Your task: write a flyer and a social post. Rules: - MUST put LOST, the pet's description, last-seen place and contact in the first lines. - MUST tell people whether to approach or just call, based on personality. - MUST leave out one identifying detail so I can verify real finders. Give me: flyer text (under 60 words), a social post, and where to share it. Before you send your answer, silently check that you did ALL of these, and fix your answer if not: - Put the most important info (photo note, last-seen location, contact) at the very top of the flyer. - Say clearly whether people should approach the pet or just call — do not leave it out. - Keep the flyer text under 60 words. - Include a short social-post version that has the key info and the approach-or-call instruction. - Leave out one identifying detail (like a name tag or exact address) for safety, and say you did.
03Steps
- Pick one clear, recent photo.
- Run the prompt and print the flyer in large type.
- Share with local shelters, vets and neighborhood groups.
04What can go wrong
- Watch for reward scams; verify before paying anyone.
- Check shelters in person often.

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.
