Using AI without becoming a technology expert
What tradespeople actually need to know about AI, and what to check before trusting it with customers.
What AI is good at
Turning speech into text, tidying notes, drafting messages and pulling details out of receipts or documents. These are exactly the jobs that eat a tradesperson's evenings.
What it gets wrong
It can sound confident about things it was never told. That is why prices, dates and promises should always come from you.
What to check before automating customer messages
Before any tool talks to your customers, ask:
- —Can I see and approve messages before they are sent?
- —Can I stop it for a particular customer?
- —Is it clear to customers that a message was prepared by an assistant?
- —Where is my customers' information stored, and who can see it?

Frequently asked questions
Is AI safe to use with customer details?
It can be, if the tool stores data securely and only uses it for your business. Always ask before you sign up.
