Ask AI about the census
Each prompt asks a question and gives an AI assistant the links to the census pages that answer it, so it reads Palo's figures instead of guessing. Open a prompt in one of these assistants, or copy it into any other. The answer is the assistant's own; check it against the pages it cites.

About these prompts
- The buttons open the assistant's own site in a new tab, with the prompt filled in. Some send it straight away, some wait for you to press send. ChatGPT, Claude and the others may need you to sign in.
- Assistants not listed here, such as Gemini and DeepSeek, cannot be given a prompt in a link: copy it and paste it in.
- Palo counts how many times each prompt is opened in each assistant, or copied. It records nothing else: not the site you typed, and nothing about you.
- The prompts are also available as Markdown, and llms.txt describes everything an assistant can read.
