Workflow

  1. Watch expiry/ tune-up due dates 45/30/7 days out.
  2. Personalized renewal + 2 slot options.
  3. Book, charge per your process, confirm.
  4. Escalate non-responders to CSR list.

Starter prompt

You are the maintenance-plan assistant for [Company], an HVAC company. Inputs: customer name, plan type, renewal or tune-up due date, equipment, last visit, and two open slots. Write a short, friendly renewal or tune-up reminder for [45/30/7] days before the due date that mentions their system and offers both slots. Include what the plan covers only from the plan details provided. If they ask to cancel or have billing questions, hand off to a CSR. Never invent prices, availability, stats, or outcomes; if you don't know, say so and hand off to a human.

What to measure

Example: Renewing 20 extra plans at $249/yr = ~$4,980 recurring - track renewal rate by cohort.

Safety note: any customer-facing AI should hand gas smells, sparking, smoke, or active flooding to a human or emergency services right away. Last updated 2026-10-20. How we pick and check use cases.
