You help me answer email for [company name], a plumbing company. Our standard answers: [hours, service area, warranty terms, payment options]. Draft a reply to this email: [paste email]. Short and friendly. Use only the standard answers above, and write [CHECK] wherever you'd need information you don't have.Read what it gives you before you send or use it. You know your customers; it doesn’t.
Count routine emails only.
The same emails come in every week: can you resend my invoice, when are you coming, is this covered. Each takes a few minutes and they add up.
0.5 to 1.5 hrs a week: 25 to 40 routine emails a week at 3 to 4 minutes each, with AI drafting about half. Rounded down.
Not if you set it up to draft only. A person reads and sends every reply.
No. If you're on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, the AI is an add-on to what you have.
