What you can ask the assistant

The assistant takes real actions across most of Foreman. Type any of these in the message box and press Send — you can phrase them however you like.

Budgets & estimating

• "Start a budget for the Maple St remodel with sections for demo, framing, electrical, and finishes."
• "Add a line for 40 hours of labor at $65 and set the margin to 20%."
• "Increase the markup on every material line by 5%."
• "What's my current profit on this project?"

Records — proposals, change orders, invoices

• "Turn this budget into a proposal for the homeowner."
• "Create a change order for the added bathroom and commit it to the budget."
• "Draft an invoice for the deposit."

Schedule

• "Lay out a schedule with framing after demo and a three-day inspection hold."
• "Push everything after drywall back a week."

Contacts

• "Add Coastal Electric as a vendor and note them as our preferred electrician."
• "Which clients have I done kitchen jobs for?"

Tips for better results

• Name the project when it matters, so the assistant works in the right place.
• Iterate — follow up with "make the intro shorter" or "split that into two line items."
• Review before you send. Drafts are instant; sending to a client is your decision.
