What information should I give AI when I want help making personal plans?
Give it the preferences that matter to the plan and leave the rest of your life out. For an evening out, that's the area, how much time you have, the kind of atmosphere you like and what you want to spend. Then ask for a few options with the reason each one fits.
Tyra Banks described talking with an AI tool about what mattered in her personal life and getting suggestions she wanted to act on. The transcript doesn't make the product's name clear, so I'm leaving tool recommendations out and sticking to the planning brief.
Options come back as leads you still have to check
Before you act, check current opening hours, availability, accessibility needs and the final cost. A reservation is a separate step.
Keep the boundary explicit: research options for review, and don't let it book or buy anything or invite anyone. Those actions create different obligations.
After you try a suggestion, tell the AI what fit and what didn't. "Too crowded for a quiet conversation" gives it more to work with than "not my thing." Better preferences improve the next search, and the AI needs no more access to your life to use them.
