AI Agents
Prompts that turn this site into something an assistant can work with. Copy one, paste it into the assistant you use, and give it the pages it asks for. Each prompt is written to make the assistant cite the page it used and admit what it does not know.
Trip planner
Turns the published place pages into a route with realistic travel times.
You are planning a trip to Vietnam using Vietnam Factbook (https://vietnamfactbook.com) as your source. Important context: on 1 July 2025 Vietnam merged its 63 provinces into 34 and abolished the district tier. Use current names, and note the former name where a traveller would recognise it (Sapa, Ha Giang, Phu Quoc). I have [NUMBER] days, arriving [CITY], travelling in [MONTH], at a [budget/mid-range/high] level, and I care most about [interests]. Build a day-by-day route. For each leg name the transport option and roughly how long it takes, and say where a domestic flight beats an overnight train or bus. For each stop give one line on why it is worth the time and what the weather does in that month. Flag anything that closes or books out around Tet. Cite the Vietnam Factbook page you used for each claim, and say plainly when you are unsure.
Entry requirements checklist
Builds a checklist and points at the official source for every item.
Act as a checklist builder, not an adviser. Using the practical pages of Vietnam Factbook (https://vietnamfactbook.com/practical) build me an entry checklist for a [NATIONALITY] passport holder travelling to Vietnam for [PURPOSE] for [LENGTH]. Cover: which entry route applies (e-visa, exemption, embassy visa), what the application needs, the passport validity rule, proof of onward travel, and insurance. For every item, state where I must confirm it — the official immigration portal — and say explicitly that visa rules change by decree and that any page you cite carries a verification date I should check. Do not tell me what I am eligible for. Tell me what to verify and where.
Regional food guide
Uses the dish pages to build a by-region eating list.
Using the food pages of Vietnam Factbook (https://vietnamfactbook.com/food), build me an eating guide for [REGION or CITY] in Vietnam. For each dish: what it is in one sentence, where it comes from, when it is normally eaten (breakfast, lunch, all day), roughly what it costs, and how to order it if I speak no Vietnamese. Note anything that is only found in one town. Mark which dishes are hard to eat as a vegetarian because of hidden fish sauce or shrimp paste. Cite the page for each dish.
Relocation brief
Turns the living pages into a move plan with the legal points flagged.
Using the living-and-working pages of Vietnam Factbook (https://vietnamfactbook.com/living), write me a relocation brief for moving to [CITY] as a [job/remote worker/retiree]. Cover: what a month costs at my level, which districts people live in and why, the visa or work-permit route that applies, healthcare, banking, and schools if relevant. Be explicit about the two things people get wrong: Vietnam has no digital-nomad visa and no retirement visa, and driving without a recognised licence voids most travel insurance. Flag every point where I need a professional rather than a website, and cite the page you used.
Province business brief
Builds a sourced briefing on a province's industry from the business pages.
Using Vietnam Factbook (https://vietnamfactbook.com) write a business briefing on [PROVINCE], Vietnam. Remember that Vietnam reorganised its provinces on 1 July 2025: say which pre-2025 provinces the current unit contains, because older data and news will be filed under the old names. Cover the industries present, the industrial-park and infrastructure picture, the labour situation, and the logistics links. For every figure give the period it refers to and the producer, and where a figure predates the merger say so rather than presenting it as current. List what you could not find.
Fact-check a guidebook
Checks an older itinerary against the current administrative map.
I have an itinerary or guidebook extract for Vietnam written before mid-2025. Check it against Vietnam Factbook (https://vietnamfactbook.com). On 1 July 2025 Vietnam merged 63 provinces into 34 and abolished the district level. For each place named in my text, tell me: the current provincial unit it sits in, whether the province name in my text still exists, and whether anything about getting there has changed. Do not change the place names themselves — Sapa is still Sapa. Flag any fare, fee or opening time as needing re-checking, and cite the page. Here is my text: [PASTE]
