The free library

Learn by doing
something useful.

See how an owner asks AI to find missed follow-ups, corrects the list, and asks for one draft. Then find another job to try.

Everything here is free and open without signing up. The collection starts with home services, but the method applies to other small businesses too.

Find the follow-ups hiding in your inbox.

Read a short, fictional back and forth: the agent finds likely follow-ups in email, the owner corrects the list, and together they reach one draft to review. Copy the first message to try with your AI tool.

How to use the library

Ask. Check. Correct. Keep going.

  1. Ask for useful work.

    Start with the inbox follow-up example or a job you want AI to take on.

  2. Give it access and direction.

    Use an AI tool you trust with the information the job needs. Tell it what to find and what it must not do.

  3. Talk back to the result.

    Check what it found against your records. Tell it what is wrong or missing, then ask it to revise. Review any message before it goes to a customer.

These are instructions to copy, not installed tools or running agents. A prompt alone cannot grant access, send a message, or run on a schedule. Check what your AI tool can actually do before relying on it for repeated work.

The marketing collection was inspired by Jameson Haslam’s West Coast Deck marketing playbook. These prompts are original adaptations by Colton Foley.

Workflow templates; results depend on your setup. The collection has not been validated across live customer accounts.
