Reply to "how much roughly?" photo messages with a safe price range

The problem

Customers want a rough idea before booking. A clear range with honest caveats saves a trip and avoids arguments when the final price is different.

What AI does

AI words a careful rough price range for a customer who sent photos, using the job and range you've already decided by looking yourself. The photos never go into the AI tool, and the wording makes clear the price can change.

The steps, in short

  1. Study the pictures yourself and settle on the job and range.
  2. Note what could change the price.
  3. Have AI draft the reply from your range, without uploading photos.
  4. Check the wording and send it.

A short sample prompt
