AI assistant for solar panel installers: requests with roof photos and fuse box in one place
Without a photo of the roof and the fuse box, you can rarely make a good quote. Slimbot asks for those photos via WhatsApp, e-mail or the chat on your site and puts them on one customer card, so you don't have to search through your phone.
Good afternoon, we'd like solar panels. Can you prepare a quote?
Assistant's draft
Good afternoon! Certainly. Could you send photos of the roof and of the meter cupboard with the fuse box open? And what is your address?

In practice
What comes in at solar panel installers — and what Slimbot does
"I'd like a quote for solar panels, what do you need?"
The assistant asks for address, roof type, photos of roof and fuse box. You assess and prepare the quote.
"Here are photos of my meter cupboard."
Photos are on the customer card instead of scattered across colleagues' phones.
"Can a home battery or charging point be added later?"
The draft reply asks what the customer is considering; you provide the technical answer yourself.
"When will you come round for the recording?"
A proposal from your connected calendar, which you confirm.
"I haven't looked at the quote yet."
Follow-up with a reminder that you approve yourself, from your own number.

CustomerI'll do that shortly. We're also thinking about a charging point, can that be included?

Request photos after a quote request
Goedemiddag <naam>, bedankt voor uw aanvraag voor zonnepanelen! Om een goede offerte te maken heb ik een paar foto's nodig: het dak (aan de voorkant en, als het kan, de achterkant) en uw meterkast met de groepenkast open. Wilt u ook doorgeven hoeveel mensen er thuis wonen en of u een laadpaal of thuisbatterij overweegt? Groet, <uw naam>
Confirming on-site survey
Goedemorgen <naam>, hierbij bevestig ik ons bezoek op <dag> om <tijd> op <adres>. Ik kijk dan naar het dak, de groepenkast en waar de omvormer kan komen. Kunt u zorgen dat de meterkast bereikbaar is? Kunt u niet? Stuur dan even een bericht. Tot dan! <uw naam>
