Questions

Can AI write my change orders or contracts?

AI can draft the plain-words note that explains a change to your client. The change order itself and any contract terms should come from your own forms or be checked by a lawyer. Never let AI set prices, dates or terms you did not give it.

Is a toolbox talk from AI good enough for my crew?

It is a good start, not the final word. Check it against your safety program and the rules that apply to your work, and add a real story from your own jobs. Have your safety lead review it before you use it.

What should I never paste into an AI chat?

Skip client names and addresses, bank details, lockbox codes and anything under a confidentiality agreement. Describe the job in general terms instead, like "a two story addition on a slab." The AI does not need more than that.

Can AI make sense of my messy job notes?

Yes. Paste them as they are, even voice-to-text notes from the truck, and ask the AI to sort them into done, next and needs a decision. Then check every date and number before you send anything.
