Unless indicated otherwise, for the below I would suggest you use Google AI Studio. It can hold a lot of context so you will be able to build one prompt on another. See it as a teammate as you plan. Use it freely and bounce ideas off it during the day. It is very powerful.

Ensure Google search is enabled using the toggle switch on the right.
