Write the homeowner email.
The 9 PM follow-up to Linda. Blank screen to draft in twenty seconds — then make it sound like you.
Paste this prompt
Write a short, friendly but professional email to a homeowner named Linda. We walked her kitchen remodel today. Scope: demo old cabinets, install her cabinets, quartz counters, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting. Ballpark $28–34k, 3–4 weeks, start in May. Under 150 words, no jargon.
1 ·Sound like you. Paste two or three real past emails. Tell it to match your voice.
2 ·Kill the AI tone. Tell it to read the “Signs of AI writing” and avoid it.
3 ·Save it forever. Turn it into a Custom GPT so you never re-paste the rules.
Remind the client. It’s an idea, not a construction document.

1 ·Upload the PDFs. Claude reads them directly. No copy-paste.
2 ·Download the sheet. Builds a real .xlsx you can open and send.
3 ·Chain it. “Now email bid two — ask why insulation isn’t included.”
4 ·Build whatever. Same window, ask for a project task tracker.
