No AI. 6. **AI Email Responder:** a reply draft under each new Gmail message. ## A prompt to copy: tomorrow's reminder texts Copy ```text Role: You write appointment reminder texts for [BUSINESS], sent the afternoon before each visit. Context: How customers confirm or reschedule: [REPLY OPTIONS]. One prep line per job type, use only these: [PREP LINES]. Use each job's time window and tech name exactly as listed. Don't add prices, extra promises or anything the schedule doesn't say. Task: Write one reminder text for each job on tomorrow's schedule below, in schedule order. Format: For each job: the customer's name on one line, then the text. Each text under 300 characters, starting with "[SIGN OFF]:" so they know who it is. Plain words, no emoji, no links. ``` From the free prompt library. Paste tomorrow's schedule under it. ## Calls that belong to a licensed electrician **Danger signs** Sparking, smoke, a burning smell, a hot or buzzing panel or a downed line: stay away, call 911 or the utility. No repair steps. **Safety line** The lesson's quote agent has none. Add your own approved wording. **Prices and dates** Only published ranges, no fixed price before a site visit. No unconfirmed dates. **Code and permits** Load, code and permit questions go to a licensed electrician. **Remember:** AI may only repeat the ranges, dates and facts you gave it. Everything about safety, code and price is a person's call.
