Answer new inquiries
Every new inquiry gets a same-day draft. You approve the exact text before anything goes out.
The full loop: reply, quote, follow-up and booking, with you at every send and every price.
The ECHO line
No price, send or booking moves from one role to the next without your OK.
The flagship loop for service businesses, from the first message to a job on the calendar. Four roles do the drafting: reply, quote, follow-up and booking. You price, approve and confirm, and each handoff carries a note, so nobody has to start over.
The job isn't on your list, the price book is out of date, the customer says no, two requests want one slot, or you can't tell whether something went through.
The owner, or whoever owns the job
Sorts the inquiry and drafts a same-day reply that asks for the one missing detail. A customer's AI gets the Agent at the Door rule.
Sorting on a fast, low-cost model; the draft on an everyday assistant or your messaging tool's agent in suggestion mode.
AIYou
Approve and send the reply.
Your OKDrafts the quote from the current price book, with an assumption for each line and the questions that change the total.
An everyday assistant drafts. For large or unusual jobs, a deep-reasoning model from a different company checks the assumptions and the math first; its check isn't your approval.
AIYou
Price anything that isn't in the price book.
YouYou
Approve and send the exact quote: amount, recipient and version.
Your OKDrafts follow-ups on your schedule. Stops on any reply, a no or a booking, and hands you the thread.
A fast model or your CRM's agent in review mode; the tool must stop the sequence when a reply arrives.
AIYou
Approve the follow-ups, one by one or as a set for the schedule, and answer the customer's reply yourself.
Your OKWhen the customer says yes, offers open times from free/busy, collects the visit details and drafts the confirmation.
An everyday assistant or your booking tool's agent in suggestion mode, with free/busy access only.
AIYou
Confirm the booking: check the slot is still free, put it on the calendar, and approve the confirmation message.
YouMatch the model to the step: a fast model for sorting, an everyday assistant or your tools' built-in agents for drafting, and a deep-reasoning model to check large quotes before you look. Every send, price and booking stays with you.

A pasted role guides the agent. Your tool's settings are what stop an action.
Run one test job end to end with yourself as the customer: ask for a quote, reply "yes" to the second follow-up, and pick a time. The loop should stop at every gate, the follow-ups should end when you reply, and nothing should be on your calendar until you confirm it.
