Listings, follow-ups and reports are writing-heavy and repetitive, which is where AI assistants can often help.

1. Draft proposals and documents from a template

Draft listing descriptions from your notes and photos, then edit for accuracy and local flavour.

How to start:

  1. Gather 2-3 of your best past documents as examples.
  2. Make a template with standard sections.
  3. Write bullet points for the new document and ask AI for a first draft.

A prompt to try:

"Using this structure: [template], write a first draft proposal from these notes: [notes]. plain language."

Watch out: Check every fact, figure and promise.

2. Triage the inbox and draft routine replies

Draft follow-ups after open homes and viewings from a short set of approved templates.

How to start:

  1. List your 5 most common email types and paste a good past reply for each into a document.
  2. Turn on the AI assistant in your email (Gemini in Gmail or Copilot in Outlook), or use a business AI chat plan.
  3. Create labels/folders and simple filters for each email type.

A prompt to try:

"Here is an email from a customer: [paste, with names and addresses removed]. Draft a friendly, short reply in plain English using the style of these examples: [paste]. Do not promise dates or prices."

Watch out: Remove customer personal details before pasting into tools that may keep or train on data.

3. Plan and draft a month of social posts in one sitting

Turn each new listing into a set of social posts in one go.

How to start:

  1. Collect 10-15 photos or stories from recent work (with permission).
  2. Ask AI for a month of post ideas and captions in your voice.
  3. Design with Canva templates.

A prompt to try:

"Suggest 12 social posts for a [business] in [region], mixing tips, behind-the-scenes and recent jobs. plain English, no hype."

Watch out: Get permission before posting customers or their property.

4. Summarise numbers into a weekly snapshot

Summarise campaign activity into a short weekly update for vendors.

How to start:

  1. Choose 5 numbers that matter (sales, jobs, debtors, hours, enquiries).
  2. Set up one spreadsheet that collects them.
  3. Each week, ask AI to summarise changes and flag anything odd.

A prompt to try:

"Here is this week's data (no personal details): [paste]. Summarise in 5 bullet points what changed vs last week."

Watch out: AI can misread numbers. Check totals against your accounting system.

A word of caution

Check every listing claim. Misleading descriptions breach consumer and real estate rules, whoever wrote them.

Your first step this week

Create a listing-description template with your standard structure.
