What to Text the AI: Examples and Tips
Talking to JobsPaid's WhatsApp AI is like texting a smart assistant who understands your work. Here are simple examples that will help you create perfect invoices in seconds.
Basic Invoice Messages
- Start simple: "Invoice for John Smith plumbing repair $450"
- Add details: "Invoice Maria Lopez kitchen tile work 3 days $1200 materials $300"
- Include date: "Invoice ABC Company roof repair completed yesterday $2800"
The AI understands natural language, so don't worry about perfect grammar or formatting.
What Information to Include
- Customer name - First and last name or business name
- Work description - What you did (plumbing, electrical, roofing, etc.)
- Amount - Total cost or breakdown of labor and materials
- When - "today," "yesterday," or specific dates work fine
Sample Messages That Work Great
Here are real examples contractors use:
"Invoice Tom Wilson bathroom remodel finished today labor $1500 materials $800"
"Bill Rodriguez Contracting drywall repair 2 rooms $650"
"Invoice for Sarah Johnson electrical outlet installation $275 completed this morning"
"Bill Mike's Auto Shop oil change and tire rotation $95"
Making Your Messages Better
- Be specific about work: Instead of "job," say "kitchen renovation" or "HVAC repair"
- Mention materials separately: "labor $500 materials $200" helps track costs
- Add timeline: "3 hours" or "2 days" gives context
- Include location: "at 123 Main Street" if you serve multiple locations
The AI will ask for missing information, so don't stress about getting everything perfect the first time.
Common Mistakes
Don't send just "invoice John $500" - add what work you did
Avoid abbreviations the AI might not understand - spell out "plumbing" instead of "plumb"
Don't forget the customer's full name - "Smith" alone isn't enough
Pro Tips
- Save time: The AI remembers your recent customers, so you can say "another invoice for Maria Lopez"
- Use voice messages: Speak your invoice details instead of typing
- Send photos: Include pictures of completed work or receipts
Remember, the AI gets smarter the more you use it. Start with these examples and adjust based on your specific trade and style.
