Turn a client's vague callback request into a pre-visit assessment that saves you a wasted trip.
When a client calls with a vague problem like 'the lights keep flickering' or 'something's tripping,' you usually have to schedule a visit just to figure out what's happening. Use AI to create a quick assessment questionnaire you can text or email before you drive out. This helps you bring the right tools, order parts ahead of time, or even solve simple issues over the phone—saving you hours of back-and-forth trips and giving you more billable time on jobs that actually need hands-on work.

“Act as an experienced electrician who's great at diagnosing problems remotely. A client just called and said: [paste their description, e.g. 'my kitchen outlets stopped working this morning']. Create a short list of 5-7 yes/no questions I can text them to narrow down the issue before I drive out. Make the questions simple enough that a homeowner can answer them without any electrical knowledge. At the end, suggest what the most likely causes are based on common scenarios.”
