AI Assistant

Review AI proposals

Check assistant-prepared cards before creating or changing records.

What you will accomplish

You will review every proposal card the AI Assistant prepares, fix mistakes before they are saved, and use Confirm All only when the work matches what your customer or team actually needs.

Skipping this review can create duplicate customers, wrong appointment times, or incorrect vehicles.

When to use this guide

Use this guide whenever you see draft cards such as New Customer, New Car, Appointment, Drop-off, or Move car—usually after a request like Prepare work with the AI Assistant.

Each card is a draft. Read every field before you select **Confirm All**.

Before you start

  • Re-read the customer's request or internal note.
  • Keep email, phone, VIN, date, and time nearby for comparison.
  • Check Contacts and Cars for possible duplicates in another browser tab.
  • Do not select Confirm All until every card looks correct.

What a proposal card is

A proposal is not saved yet. It is the assistant's plan.

Cards may include:

  • New Customer — name, email, phone, company.
  • New Car for [name] — year, make, model, color, trim, VIN, license plate.
  • Appointment, Drop-off, or Pickup — date, time, customer, vehicle, notes.
  • Move car — parking spot or location change.
  • Message draft — text for you to copy into Inbox; the assistant does not send it for you.

Step 1: Read the assistant's summary

  1. Compare the summary to your notes

    The message above the cards explains what the assistant understood.

    Expected result: The summary matches what the customer asked for on the phone or in email.

Step 2: Review the customer card

  1. Check name spelling

    Confirm first name and last name. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.

  2. Check contact details

    Confirm email and phone. Leave optional fields blank if unknown—do not guess.

    Why this matters: Wrong contact information leads to failed invoices and missed messages.

Step 3: Review the car card

  1. Check year, make, and model

    These three fields are required on most car cards.

  2. Check color, trim, and VIN

    Confirm color and trim when the customer mentioned them. A blank VIN is safer than a wrong VIN.

    Why this matters: Insurance, transport, and registration paperwork often use the VIN.

Step 4: Review appointment or event cards

  1. Confirm date and time

    Watch words like “tomorrow” and check your facility time zone in Settings > General.

    Why this matters: A wrong pickup time is one of the fastest ways to lose customer trust. If the card shows an unexpected date, edit the field or start New Chat with the full date written out (for example, Friday, June 5 at 2:00 pm).

  2. Confirm customer and vehicle

    Make sure the appointment points to the same person and car you discussed.

    Expected result: The appointment matches what you promised the customer on the phone or in email.

  3. Confirm event type

    Drop-off, pickup, and service visits may use different names on Schedule. The label on the card should match what your facility calls that visit.

Step 5: Review message drafts (if shown)

If the assistant prepared wording for a customer text or email, read every sentence aloud before you copy it into Inbox.

  • Customer name is correct.
  • Date, time, and location match your notes.
  • Tone is professional and friendly for your facility.
  • Nothing promises a price or service you cannot deliver.

Step 6: Edit wrong or missing fields

Click inside editable fields on the cards to fix typos before you save.

  1. Fix errors on the cards

    Click inside editable fields and correct them. If you cannot fix a card, do not confirm.

    Expected result: Every visible field matches your notes before you save.

Step 7: Confirm the proposals

  1. Check for duplicates

    Search Contacts and Cars if the assistant is creating new records.

    Why this matters: One customer with two profiles is hard to fix later.

  2. Select Confirm All

    Use Confirm All only after every card is correct. The number in parentheses tells you how many drafts will save at once (for example, Confirm All (2)).

    Expected result: The assistant shows success or offers to open a related page.

  3. Verify in the dashboard

    Open the customer, car, or appointment and confirm details match.

    Expected result: Live records match what you approved.

When not to confirm

Do not confirm if:

  • the customer might be the wrong person
  • the car may already exist
  • the VIN, plate, date, time, or dollar amount looks wrong
  • payment terms need a manager
  • a customer message was not read word-for-word
  • the proposal does not match your facility's normal process

Stop and fix the source information, or enter records manually using your standard guides.

Quick checklist before Confirm All

  • Customer name is spelled correctly.
  • Email and phone are correct, if shown.
  • Vehicle year, make, model, and VIN are correct, if shown.
  • Appointment date and time match the request.
  • Parking spot or location is correct.
  • Notes are professional and accurate.
  • No duplicate customer or car already exists.

After you confirm

  1. Open the customer record

    Go to Contacts and search for the customer you just created.

  2. Open the car and schedule

    Check Cars and Schedule so the vehicle and appointment appear where your team expects them.

  3. Assign parking if needed

    If the car is on site, follow Assign a parking spot so the map stays accurate.

Troubleshooting

A required field is blank

Fill it in if you know the correct value. If you do not know it, leave it blank or ask the customer. Required fields show a red asterisk (*).

The wrong customer or car was selected

Do not confirm. Start New Chat and include full name, email, VIN, or license plate.

The date or time is wrong

Edit the field if possible. Otherwise send a clearer message, such as: Book Sam Rivera for Friday, June 5 at 2:00 pm.

Confirm All is disabled

Look for empty required fields on the cards (name, vehicle year, make, or model).

You confirmed by mistake

Open the record immediately and correct it if your role allows. Ask a team admin for help if needed.

Only some cards saved

Rare errors can stop part of a batch. Check each dashboard area (Contacts, Cars, Schedule) and finish missing pieces manually.

A card shows Failed instead of a draft

Start New Chat and send the full request again, or complete the steps one at a time (customer first, then car, then appointment).

What to do next

Practice lookups first with Ask about schedule, parking, and records, then use Prepare work with the AI Assistant when your team is ready to create records.
