- AI cannot replace local regulations or a qualified professional.
- Never rely on it for a wiring decision, or for a gas or plumbing safety decision. Follow the rules where you work.
- Use it for admin, quotes, customer messages, explaining a job to a customer, planning, and learning terms. Do not use it to certify work.
Novice means you can try the task the first time you use a chat tool. Intermediate means you can already edit a draft. Professional means you know this part of the job well enough to catch a wrong one. The level is about the task, not a rank.

Where it helps
The International Labour Organization’s code of practice on safety and health in construction is not a law. It says the code is not a legally binding instrument, and that its provisions are not intended to replace national laws, regulations, or other standards already in use. On electrical installations, it says equipment should be constructed, installed and maintained by a competent person, in line with those laws, and used so as to guard against danger such as electric shock, fire and explosion. A chat tool is not that person. This page does not tell you how to wire anything.
Tasks
Explain a finished job to the customer
Customers remember a short explanation. You already know what you did. The tool only turns your notes into a few plain sentences. It must not add a safety claim.
Prompt
Highlighted [brackets] are the parts you replace. Only paste information you’re allowed to share with the tool you’re using.
The promptTurn my notes into a short message for the customer. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Turn my notes into a short message for the customer. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Customer: [first name, or "the customer"]
What I actually did: """[your notes. No claim that anything is safe or compliant]"""
What I still need from them: [or "nothing"]
Write one short message.
Do not add work I did not list. Do not say the installation is safe, legal or certified.
Do not recommend a product, a cable or a method.
If a detail is missing, write [NOT STATED].Learn a term, then check it
A definition is a starting point when a word on a drawing or a form is new to you. It is not training, and it is not the rule book where you work.
Prompt
Highlighted [brackets] are the parts you replace. Only paste information you’re allowed to share with the tool you’re using.
The promptExplain a work term to me. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Explain a work term to me. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Term: [the word]
Where I saw it: [a sentence, or "I only have the word"]
1. A short meaning in everyday words.
2. One example of how an electrician might use the word in a sentence.
3. What this explanation might get wrong, and what I should check in my own training or the rules where I work.
Do not tell me how to wire, test or repair anything.
If the term is about safety, say that a qualified person and the local rules decide, and stop.A message about an appointment
Running late, confirming a time, or asking someone to be home is ordinary admin. Write the facts yourself. The draft should not promise a repair.
Prompt

The promptDraft a short message I can send. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.

Who: [customer first name, or "the customer"]
Purpose: [confirm / running late / please be home / ask for access]
Time I am offering: [time, or "I will fill this in"]
What I will and will not do on this visit: [your words]
Under 80 words. Do not invent a time, a price or a diagnosis of the fault.
Do not say I will make it safe. Do not give electrical advice.Order the jobs you already have
A list of visits is easier to face once it is in an order. You know which customer cannot move. The tool does not know the roads, and it must not tell you how to do the work.
Prompt
Highlighted [brackets] are the parts you replace. Only paste information you’re allowed to share with the tool you’re using.
The promptOrder my working day. Use simple language an everyday person would understand. Do not tell me how to do any job.
Order my working day. Use simple language an everyday person would understand. Do not tell me how to do any job.
Fixed times I cannot move: [or "none"]
How I travel: [van, public transport, or "not sure"]
Jobs, one per line:
"""
[area, and any time the customer asked for. Skip full street addresses if you prefer]
"""
Give me an order, one reason for that order, and a "might not fit" list.
Do not invent travel times. Write "check the journey" instead of a number of minutes.
Do not suggest how to wire, isolate or repair anything.Turn site notes into a job summary
Notes taken in a hurry are hard to read the next week. Sorting them is useful. Inventing a test result is not.
Prompt

The promptSort these site notes into a summary I can file. Use simple language an everyday person would understand. Only use what I wrote.
Sort these site notes into a summary I can file. Use simple language an everyday person would understand. Only use what I wrote.
NOTES:
"""
[paste notes. Remove names and full addresses if this is not your work tool]
"""
Give me:
1. What the notes say was found.
2. What the notes say was done.
3. Parts or materials the notes name. If none, write "none named".
4. Open questions.
Do not add test results, cable sizes or a statement that the work is safe.
Mark any line that would be a guess with "not in the notes".A quote email from figures you calculated
The numbers have to be yours. A chat tool is good at laying them out so a customer can read them. It is bad at pricing a job it has not seen, and it will invent a figure if you let it.
Prompt

The promptWrite a quote email I can edit. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Write a quote email I can edit. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Who it is to: [first name, or "the customer"]
What they asked for, in my words: [the job. Do not describe it as safe or unsafe]
Figures I have already calculated: [labour, materials, and the total, or leave a blank I will fill]
Included: [list]
Not included: [list]
How long I will hold this price: [or "not stated"]
Use only the figures I wrote. If a figure is missing, write [NOT STATED]. Do not invent one.
Do not say the work will be safe, legal or certified.
Do not recommend a cable, a breaker, a method or a product.
End with a line that I will confirm the work on site before it is treated as final.A note when the job changed
Extra work causes arguments when it lives only in your head. A short note of what changed, in your words, is something you can send before you do it. The tool must not decide the change was necessary.
Prompt

The promptDraft a note I can send before I do extra work. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Draft a note I can send before I do extra work. Use simple language an everyday person would understand.
Original job: [what was agreed]
What I found, in my words: [facts only]
Extra work I am proposing: [what you would do]
Extra cost I have already calculated: [a figure, or "I will fill this in"]
I need a yes before I start: [yes]
Do not say the extra work is required for safety. Do not invent a cost.
Do not give electrical advice or a method.
If I have not given a cost, write [PRICE NOT STATED] and do not guess.What not to use AI for
- Deciding if a circuit, a cable, a protective device or a repair is safe.
- Certifying work, or telling a customer the job meets the local rules.
- Choosing how to isolate, test or energise anything.
- A price, a product or a method you did not already decide.
If the question is whether something is safe to touch, leave live, or sign off, stop and use a qualified person and the rules where you work. The links at the bottom are the sources for the note above, not a wiring guide.
