Write a job quote explanation

Prompt
Write a friendly message to a customer explaining a $4,200 quote for a bathroom renovation, including labour, materials, and timeline.
Example AI output
Thanks for getting in touch about your bathroom reno. Here's a breakdown of the $4,200 quote: Materials (tiles, fixtures, waterproofing) — $1,800. Labour (demolition, plumbing, tiling, fit-off) — $2,100. Waste removal — $300. We'd need about 8–10 working days once materials arrive. Happy to walk through any line items — just give us a call.

Respond to a negative review

Prompt
Write a friendly response to a 2-star review from a customer who said a plumbing job took longer than expected.
Example AI output
Thanks for your feedback — we're sorry the job took longer than expected. We ran into some unexpected pipework behind the wall that needed attention for safety. We should have communicated the delay better on the day, and we'll make sure that's improved. Appreciate you letting us know.

Customer follow-up after job

Prompt
Write a short follow-up text message to a customer 3 days after completing a kitchen renovation.
Example AI output
Hi [Name], just checking in — how's the new kitchen treating you? If you notice anything at all in the first few weeks, don't hesitate to call. We stand behind our work. If you're happy with how it turned out, a Google review would really help us out. Thanks again for choosing us.

Safety toolbox talk outline

Prompt
Write a brief outline for a 10-minute toolbox talk about working safely at heights for a small building crew.
Example AI output
Working at Heights — Toolbox Talk (10 min) 1. Why this matters — falls are the leading cause of serious injury on Australian building sites 2. When does it apply — any work 2m+ above ground level 3. Key controls — guardrails first, then fall arrest as backup. Ladders only for short-duration access 4. Harness check — inspect all gear before use. If in doubt, don't use it 5. Scaffold rules — only use scaffolds that have been signed off. Report missing boards or rails immediately 6. Quick check — everyone inspect your harness right now. Questions?

Social media job showcase

Prompt
Write an Instagram post showcasing a completed deck build. Spotted gum timber, 40sqm, took 2 weeks.
Example AI output
40 square metres of spotted gum, hand-selected for grain and colour. Two weeks from bare ground to this. We built the subframe to handle the slope, used concealed fixings throughout, and finished with Cutek oil for that natural warmth. This deck is built to last 25+ years with basic maintenance. Swipe for the before shot. Quote enquiries via the link in bio.
