Snap a photo and it's a task: Claude on mobile

Here's a photo of [a whiteboard / a page of my handwritten notes].
Don't turn this into anything yet — first show me what you read.

1. Transcribe literally all the text you can make out in the image,
   in the order it appears, preserving the structure (columns,
   bullets, arrows, boxes, strikethroughs).
2. For every passage you're not sure about, write [UNCERTAIN] and
   offer two possible readings.
3. List separately anything that's completely illegible, and say
   why (blurry, cut off by the edge, overlapping, too small).
4. Don't fill in anything, don't fix typos, and don't rephrase.

Once I see what you read, I'll tell you what I want to do with it.

Here's a photo of the whiteboard from the [team name] meeting,
held on [date]. Participants: [Jane D., Peter S., David K., Lucy M.].

Turn the whiteboard into a task table with columns:
task | who | by when | where on the board.

Rules:
- match initials and first names to the people in the list above;
  where the match isn't clear-cut, write QUESTION MARK and offer
  the possible options
- don't put crossed-out items into the table; list them separately
  at the end under the heading "crossed out — to check"
- where a deadline is missing, write "no deadline set" and don't
  invent a date
- convert relative deadlines ("by next week", "by end of month")
  into a specific date based on the meeting date, and keep the
  original wording in parentheses
- in the last column, note which part of the board the item came
  from (left column, box on the right, note at the bottom)

Below the table, give two lists: what's a decision (not a task),
and what's just a note or an idea. At the end, note what was
hard to read.

Turn this task table into meeting notes that I'll send to the
participants in five minutes.

Structure:
- three opening sentences: what the meeting was about and the
  main takeaway
- decisions as bullets, each with who made it
- tasks in the format who — what — by when, sorted by deadline
- open questions we didn't resolve
- one closing sentence: when the next meeting is and what needs
  to be ready for it

Write plainly, no filler courtesies, 250 words maximum.
Where the source has QUESTION MARK or "no deadline set", keep
that visible in the notes too — let people fill it in as they read.
Don't add anything that isn't in the source.

Here's a photo of a receipt. Pull a line for my budget out of it,
in the format:
date | merchant | total amount | currency | payment method |
category | note

- pick the category from my list: [food, transport, office,
  software, lodging, client entertainment, other]
- if the receipt has items belonging to different categories,
  split it into multiple lines; their sum must match the total
  amount shown on the receipt
- list the tax base and sales tax/VAT separately, only if they're
  on the receipt
- anything you can't read, write as [ILLEGIBLE] — never guess
  a number
- put whatever's handwritten on the receipt into the note

At the end, write one sentence on which value you were least
sure about.

Output as semicolon-separated lines, no additional commentary.

Here are [12] photos of receipts from [August]. Turn them into
one table with columns: date | merchant | amount | currency |
category | photo number.

- sort the rows by date
- don't convert foreign currencies, leave them in the original
  currency and label them
- for every receipt where you weren't sure about the amount or
  the date, add an asterisk at the end of the row
- list receipts you couldn't read at all separately, by photo number

At the end, add three things:
1. a sum by category,
2. a list of the starred rows I should check,
3. a flag for possible duplicates (same merchant, day, and amount).

Don't calculate anything else.

Here's a photo of a poster. Pull the details for a calendar event
out of it:

name | date | start time | end time | location including address |
admission | link or contact | what to bring

- if only a day of the week or a date without a year is given,
  state which date that works out to in your judgment, and flag
  it as an estimate to verify
- if the end time is missing, write "not stated" and don't guess
  a duration
- transcribe the address exactly as it is on the poster, don't
  look it up
- flag any web address or QR code you can't read as [ILLEGIBLE]

At the end, add two sentences: what I should verify before I add
this to my calendar (advance registration, limited capacity,
schedule changes possible).
Then repeat the whole thing as a short text for the event's notes.

Here's a photo of the [conference program / schedule / training
timetable]. Turn it into a table: session name | day | start |
end | room | speaker.

- keep the order by time
- put parallel sessions side by side and mark them as concurrent
- list breaks and lunches too, so no gap appears in the calendar
- where a later session's time is only implied, don't calculate
  it, write "not stated"
- flag anything you read from small or blurry print

At the end, pick [5] sessions that best match my focus area
[describe your focus area], and write one sentence for each
saying why.

Here are [3] photos of my handwritten notes from [a meeting with
client X, August 12]. The pages are in order, I write fast and
messily, in abbreviations.

1. Transcribe the notes into continuous text in the same order
   I wrote them. Don't shorten or rephrase — I want my own
   sentences, just readable.
2. Leave abbreviations as they are; at the end, list the ones
   you had to guess and what you think they mean.
3. Flag uncertain spots as [UNCERTAIN: option A / option B].
4. List separately: what looks like a task for me, what looks
   like a promise made to the other side, and all numbers, dates,
   and names, so I can check them.

Don't write a summary — I'll ask for that separately if I want it.

Here's a photo of a handwritten list.
Turn it into a clean bulleted list where you:
- list checked-off and crossed-out items separately under a
  "done" heading
- flag items with a question mark or a circle around them as
  uncertain
- keep indented lines and arrows as nested bullets under the
  main item
- merge repeated items and note the count next to them
- don't add anything "for completeness"

Then give me the same list again, this time sorted by
[store aisle / priority / where it belongs], so I can act on
it directly.

Here's a photo of a business card, possibly with my pencil note
on it too. Pull out: name | title | company | email | phone |
website | address | handwritten note.

- write the phone number in international format and keep the
  original notation from the card next to it
- transcribe the email address character by character, and flag
  letters that are easily confused: lowercase l and capital I,
  zero and the letter O, the combination r n versus m
- transcribe the handwritten note verbatim into the note column,
  don't interpret or add anything to it
- flag anything you can't read as [ILLEGIBLE]

At the end, write one sentence: what I should verify about this
contact before I write to them.

Here are [4] photos of a document [type: lease / insurance terms /
instructions from school]. The pages are in order.

Give me four things from it:
1. A summary in 8 bullets: what the document is about and what
   it wants from me.
2. A table of key facts — amounts, deadlines, dates, the parties'
   names, notice period, penalties, automatic renewal. For each
   one, note which page it's on.
3. Five things I should watch out for: what's unfavorable to me,
   ambiguous, or unusual, and why.
4. Seven questions I should ask the other party before I sign.

Where the text in the photo is cut off or unreadable, say so
explicitly and don't guess at the content. Don't give a legal
opinion — I want to understand the contract and know what to
ask about.

Here's a photo of [a table from a report / a chart from a
presentation]. Transcribe it into a text table exactly as it
is: same columns, same row order, no recalculating, no filling
in gaps.

- transcribe numbers with units and decimal points exactly as
  shown
- leave empty cells empty, don't replace them with zero
- for digits that could be confused, add [?] after the value
- below the table, list which values were hardest to read in
  the original

Don't comment on any of it yet. Once I confirm the table, I'll
ask you for an interpretation.

Pull the event details out of this poster photo and prepare a
calendar event for me in [calendar name].

First show me the draft: name, date, start and end time, location,
description. Only create the event after I confirm it.

- don't invite anyone and don't send anything to anyone
- put the link or contact from the poster into the description,
  plus the sentence "verify registration"
- if the end time is missing, propose a duration and note that
  it's estimated
- if you're not sure about the date, don't create the event —
  ask me instead
- set the reminder for [the day before at 6:00 PM]

Here are [20] photos that have been sitting on my phone from the
last [three months]. Go through them and give me an overview —
one row per photo:

number | what's in it | type (whiteboard, receipt, poster, note,
document, business card, other) | is it still current | what to
do with it (process, keep, delete)

- for posters and invitations, check the date: mark anything
  already past as no longer current
- for receipts, give the date and amount, so I can tell whether
  I still need it
- for whiteboards and notes, note what situation it looks like
  it's from

At the end, split them into three groups: process now, keep,
delete. Don't delete or save anything anywhere — just sort it
for me.
