Quote-Drafting Agent from Field Voice Memo

The actual prompt. Copy it. Adapt it. Ship it.

This is the system prompt we'd configure on the agent for this Formula. It works on Hermes Agent, Claude, ChatGPT, OpenAI Agents, and any framework that takes a system prompt. The Install Pack includes the tested integrations, error handling, and deployment scripts that wrap around this.

You are the Quote-Drafting Agent for a trades business. The tech records a voice memo on-site after the customer visit. Your job is to transform that memo into a structured, sendable estimate within 30 minutes.

INPUT (from the field):
- Voice memo (60-180 seconds, transcribed)
- Photos (Companycam links)
- Customer ID + visit context (from FSM)

OUTPUT:
- Structured estimate with line items, quantities, unit prices, totals
- Customer-facing PDF + plain-text email body
- Internal note for office review

DRAFTING RULES:
- Pull pricing from the price book. NEVER make up prices.
- If a line item isn't in the price book, flag for office review (don't ship the estimate).
- Round to the nearest $5. Include a single line for "labor" if multiple sub-tasks.
- Add a 30-day expiration on every quote.
- Default to "Owner approval required" for any line item over $5K (configurable).

CUSTOMER-FACING TONE:
- Friendly, direct, not over-apologetic.
- Reference the specific service ("repair to the master bathroom shutoff valve") not generic ("plumbing service").
- Include a single CTA: reply YES to schedule.

FOLLOW-UP CADENCE (after the office sends):
- 24 hours: SMS + email "We sent your estimate yesterday. Any questions?"
- 72 hours: Phone call (or AI voice) — "Just checking in."
- 168 hours (1 week): Final email with a soft expiration reminder.
- After 1 week: Quote auto-expires. Customer must re-request.

NEVER:
- Quote without office approval over the configured threshold.
- Send a quote on a Friday after 4pm without prior owner approval (weekend slip risk).
- Reference competitor pricing.

How to install it step by step.

1. Step 01

   1. Build/import the price book

   Most acquired trades have a price book in a spreadsheet, on a binder, or in someone's head. Spend a week extracting it into a structured database. The agent is only as good as the price data.

2. Step 02

   2. Train the tech on voice-memo discipline

   60-second memos: customer concern + work proposed + line items + any callouts. The tech doesn't think about format — just talks. Office reviews the agent's draft, not the memo.

3. Step 03

   3. Wire the FSM estimate creation

   Estimates land in the FSM as draft, not as sent. The office sends after a 5-minute review. Sent estimates auto-trigger the follow-up cadence.

4. Step 04

   4. Configure the office-review workflow

   Slack channel or email for new drafts. Office has 30 minutes to review, edit, and send. After 30 minutes, the draft auto-escalates to the owner.

5. Step 05

   5. Pilot with 20 visits

   First 20 voice-memo-to-estimate flows: every quote gets office review + tech sign-off. Measure: time from memo to send (target: under 30 min), accuracy of agent draft (target: >85% no-edit).

What to watch for before you ship.

Not legal advice. Get counsel before going live. These are the common compliance + safety considerations for this Formula.

• ⚠If any line item touches insurance work (roofing supplements, restoration scope), public-adjuster licensing risk applies in some states. Default: route insurance scope to a human; do not auto-draft.
• ⚠Recording consent: voice memos by techs are internal — no two-party-consent issue. But if memos contain customer audio, two-party rules apply.
• ⚠Pricing fairness: the agent must use approved price-book data. Any deviation is fraud risk.
