Keep a home maintenance log and house manual
“I never remember when the filter was changed or who fixed the roof.”
Feed AI your receipts, manuals and inspection reports; it builds a house log with what was done, when it's due next, and who to call.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Collect receipts, appliance manuals, warranties and inspection reports in one folder.
- Ask the AI to build a log: item, last service date, next due date, vendor.
- Check it quarterly and add new receipts as they come; you approve any vendor messages.
Copy this prompt
From these receipts, manuals and inspection reports: [files], build a home maintenance log: item, what was done, date, vendor, warranty end, and next due date. List anything overdue or flagged in the inspection. Draft (don't send) a message to book the most urgent item. Stop there.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
