Whose Turn
AI chore chart generator for roommates and families
It's Sunday night, the bins are overflowing again, and the group chat is three people saying they did the dishes last. Nobody wrote anything down, so everyone thinks they do the most.

- Productivity
Sample you can paste
Who: three of us in a flat. Lena, Tom, Priya. Schedules: - Lena: home most evenings, away every other weekend. - Tom: works nights Tuesday to Thursday, sleeps till 2pm those days. - Priya: office job, gym Monday and Wednesday evenings. Chores: - dishes / kitchen wipe, every day - bins and recycling out, Monday 7am - bathroom clean, weekly - hoovering the hall and living room, weekly - food shop for shared stuff (oil, loo roll, washing-up liquid), weekly - fridge clear-out, every two weeks Notes: Priya really hates cleaning the bathroom but doesn't mind the shopping. Tom says he does the dishes most. Nobody believes him.
Steps
Step 1
List the people
Write who lives there and when each person is usually home or away. Night shifts, gym evenings and weekends away all matter.
Step 2
List the chores
Every chore and how often it happens. Add anything people love, hate or can't do, like a bad back or no car.
Step 3
Get the rota
You get a week-by-week table, how many minutes each person does, and why each chore landed where it did. Hated chores are traded, not forced.
Step 4
Pin it up
It ends with a swap rule and a short message you can paste into the group chat, so the rota is agreed once instead of argued every week.
What you get
What you put in and what you get out
When to use it
Use it when you move in together, when the chore argument comes back for the third time, or when someone's schedule changes and the old rota stops working.
When to skip it
It can't make anyone do their chores, it just makes it clear whose turn it is. The minutes are rough estimates, so change them if your bathroom takes twice as long. It's not for kids' pocket-money charts with rewards, though you can ask it to keep chores simple for younger kids.

Full prompt
whose-turn.prompt.txt
You are a calm, fair house manager. Your job is to split the household chores so everyone does about the same amount of time each week, around their real schedules.
INPUT
- Who lives in the home and their usual weekly schedule (work hours, shifts, evenings out, weekends away).
- Every chore and how often it happens.
- Preferences and limits: chores someone loves, hates, or can't do.
- Optional: who does what now.
HOW TO WORK
1. If you don't know who lives there, what the chores are, or roughly when people are home, ask up to three short questions. Then stop and wait.
2. Give every chore a rough time in minutes per occurrence, and work out the weekly total for each chore. State your estimates so the user can correct them.
3. Add up the whole week. Divide it fairly between the people. For kids, give simpler, shorter chores and say so.
4. Assign chores around schedules: no chore at a time when the person is at work, asleep after a night shift, or away.
5. If someone hates a chore, trade it for a different chore of similar time. Never just force it on them.
6. If the user said who does what now, show the current minutes per person next to the new ones.
7. Write one swap rule and a short message for the group chat.
RULES
- Totals per person should be within about 15 minutes of each other each week. If that's impossible, say why.
- Don't take sides or comment on who is lazy. Only show the numbers.
- Rotate the worst chores (bathroom, bins) if nobody volunteers, so nobody is stuck with them forever.
- Keep the rota simple enough to stick on a fridge.
- Short sentences. Friendly, no lecture.
OUTPUT
## Time per chore
A short list: chore, minutes each time, minutes per week.
## The rota
A table: days or weeks as columns, people as rows, chores in the cells.
## Minutes each
One line per person: weekly total, and why they got these chores. Add "before" minutes if given.
## Swap rule
One rule for trading a chore.
## For the group chat
Three lines max, friendly, ready to paste.Copied it? Get the Friday roundup. Seven agents and one tip, once a week.
How it works
Most chore fights have the same cause: nothing is written down, so everyone remembers the chores they did and forgets the ones they didn't. Everyone ends up honestly believing they do the most.
This agent turns the chores into numbers. It gives each one a rough time, adds up the week and splits it so everyone does about the same, around who's actually home when.
What to paste
Who lives there and their usual week: shifts, evenings out, weekends away. Every chore and how often it happens. Anything someone loves, hates or can't do. If you like, what each person does now.
What you get back
A weekly rota as a table, each person's total in minutes, and one line per person on why they got what they got. Hated chores are traded for something of similar time, not forced. Then a simple swap rule and a short message you can paste into the group chat.
It won't take sides or guess who's lying. If the schedules don't add up, it asks before it builds the rota.
Questions about Whose Turn
How does it decide what's fair?
It gives every chore a rough time in minutes, adds up the week and gives everyone about the same total. Then it moves chores around people's schedules, so nobody gets the 7am bins on the morning after a night shift. If someone hates a chore, it trades it for a different one of similar time instead of just assigning it.
What if one person really does more already?
Paste what each person does now, and it counts that too. You get a before and after in minutes, which usually settles the "I do everything" argument quickly. It won't take sides, it only shows the numbers.
Is Whose Turn free?
Yes. The prompt is free to copy, download, and reuse under CC-BY-4.0. There is no sign-up on One Agent a Day. You only need access to a chat model such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
