Turn a client's wishes into a planting shortlist

The problem

Clients say "something colourful, low maintenance, good for bees". AI turns that into a shortlist you can refine with your plant knowledge.

What AI does

AI turns a client's description of the garden they want, plus your notes on the site, into a first shortlist of plants. You use your own plant knowledge to check and change every choice before the client sees it.

Time

The steps, in short

1. Record the site conditions and what the client has asked for.
2. Have AI suggest a starting shortlist with a reason for each plant.
3. Check each plant yourself for the site, availability and any pet or invasive-species concerns.
4. Turn the checked list into options to show the client.

A short sample prompt

Suggest a first shortlist of plants for a border with these conditions: [aspect, soil, size and exposure]. The client wants [their wishes, in a few words]. For each plant give its name and one line on why it might suit. I will check every plant myself.
