Have an agent contact tradespeople and line up quotes for a home project
Instead of calling round electricians, plumbers and roofers yourself, let an agent reach out to all of them, collect their replies and put them side by side.
What the bot does
- Takes your project description and the trades you need.
- Finds local tradespeople for each trade.
- Contacts each one with the same clear brief.
- Collects the replies and puts them in one table: who, when they can start, what's included, what they asked.
What you end up with
One table of replies from every trade, so you can pick who to meet.
Copy-paste prompt
Fill in the [brackets]. Then paste it into any tool below.
I'm planning [project] at [town/area]. I need: [electrician, plumber, roofer...]. Find [5] well-reviewed local businesses for each. Draft one short message per business with this brief: [details, timing, photos]. Show me the drafts and the list first, and only send after I say yes. Then collect the replies in a table: business, trade, earliest start, what's included, questions they asked.
