Summary

Generic AI answers ignore your services, minimum job size, service area and pricing rules, so every output needs heavy rewriting. Short answer: use Claude (projects let you save a reusable business snapshot). Free option: ChatGPT. The workflow has 4 steps and 2 copy-paste prompt(s); expect a 5-bullet confirmation of your business rules, then drafts that already use your services, area and tone, with questions where the snapshot is silent. Main caution: Keep prices in the snapshot current; outdated numbers flow into every draft.

ChatGPT Claude Jobber (Copilot + AI Receptionist)

Step-by-step workflow

Write a one-page company snapshot: services you do and don't do, service area (towns/ZIPs), minimum job, how you price, payment terms, tone of voice, crew size and the software you use.
Save it as a reusable note. In ChatGPT or Claude, put it in custom instructions or a Project so it applies to every chat.
Start each new task by pasting the snapshot and asking the AI to confirm what it understood before giving the task.
Update the snapshot each season when prices, services or minimums change.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

Here is a snapshot of my landscaping business. Read it and confirm back, in 5 bullets, what you understand. Do not start any task yet.

Company: [name], [city/region]
Services we do: [list]
Services we DON'T do: [list]
Service area: [towns/ZIPs]
Minimum job: $[ ]
How we price: [rules]
Payment terms: [ ]
Tone: [friendly, plain-spoken, no hype]
Software: [Jobber/LMN/QuickBooks...]

Prompt 2

Using my business snapshot, draft [a quote follow-up / out-of-area decline / seasonal reminder]. If my snapshot doesn't cover something you need, ask me instead of assuming.

What to expect

A 5-bullet confirmation of your business rules, then drafts that already use your services, area and tone, with questions where the snapshot is silent.

Limits & safety

Keep prices in the snapshot current; outdated numbers flow into every draft.
Don't include customer personal data or anything you wouldn't share with a third-party service.
