## The prompt

```text
Look at my orders from the last 60 days and tell me which days of the week and hours of the day are the quietest. Then set up a happy hour coupon for those times. Use the code [code] if it exists, or create a new 10% coupon with that code. Make it work only on the days and times you suggest, and show the message "Happy hour is over, come back during our next one" outside those hours. Show me the schedule and wait for my OK before you save it.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Look at my orders from the last 60 days and tell me which days of the week and hours of the day are the quietest…

Assistant: Across 1,120 orders, Tuesday and Wednesday 13:00 to 16:00 are the quietest, with about 40% fewer orders than your weekday average. Calling: `woocommerce/orders-query`, `advanced-coupons/get-coupon`, `advanced-coupons/create-coupon`, `advanced-coupons/set-recurring-schedule`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: HAPPYHOUR now works Tuesday and Wednesday from 13:00 to 16:00 only. Outside those hours customers see your happy hour message.
