An AI follow-up agent for electrical jobs

By Robert Breen · Published October 20, 2026 · From the free lesson Build an AI Job Follow-Up Agent for Electricians

An electrical job isn't really done when the crew leaves. There's an inspection to schedule, a new breaker to explain and a customer who'll need you again.

The guide in text

The myth

An AI follow-up will just make up an inspection date.

The fact

Only if you let it. Oak & Wire Electric's system prompt says never invent prices, dates or inspection results. So Dana's panel-upgrade email says the township inspection is the last step, and the office will confirm the date once it's scheduled.
