Beginner instructions
Paste the inquiry as received, but remove names, contact details, passwords, private links, and confidential business information.
Describe the service you offer in plain language. Add any limits that could affect the project, such as minimum fees, unavailable dates, or work you don’t provide.
Review the generated questions before sending. Remove anything the client has already answered elsewhere.
Advanced instructions
Add your standard project minimum, typical timeline, revision policy, and preferred client profile to the service context. Ask the AI to tighten the reply further if the inquiry came through a platform with a short message limit.
