AI prompts for Handymen, by the job.
A handyman's day is forty small jobs and a phone that never stops. These prompts write the replies, the triage, the van lists and the messages that keep a day moving when something breaks. They cannot tell you whether a job needs a qualified trade — that judgment stays with you.

Tell today's customers you're running late
One job has overrun and the next two customers are waiting.
Write a first draft for this job: Tell today's customers you're running late. The situation: One job has overrun and the next two customers are waiting. Use only the facts I give you: [BUSINESS NAME], [SITUATION A], [SITUATION B]. Keep it under 120 words. Do not invent a price, a time, a name, a promise, or a detail I have not supplied. Ask me for anything missing rather than filling it in. Finish with "Assumptions to confirm" so I can correct what you inferred.This is a free starter built from the first job in the Handymen set. It asks before it writes. The 100 full prompts in this trade are in the library.

The kit for this job
A day that goes sideways
A job overruns, a part is missing, or a crew member calls in sick and three customers need moving.
What you get: Three short texts in the customer's own words, plus a revised order of visits that keeps the furthest customer last.
What to check: Every time you give is one you can hit with traffic. Nobody is told a reason that blames a customer. You've noted who agreed to move.
