Read the opening before you decide.

Not a sample that stops mid-sentence — the whole first section, as
printed, the title of every prompt in the library, and the guide to the trade.

Prompt #1.

Printed exactly as it appears in the book. The yellow parts
are the blanks you fill in — there are thousands across the 150 prompts, and
they are why this works on your trade rather than a generic one.

COPY THIS — Prompt #1 · Your permanent profile

Paste into the custom instructions / profile box: “I run a [SIZE]-person electrical contracting company in [CITY, STATE] called [BUSINESS NAME]. We do [residential service / light commercial / remodel wiring / EV chargers / generators]. Typical jobs: [YOUR TOP 5 JOB TYPES]. When I ask you to write anything customer-facing, keep it professional, plain, and brief — no hype, no exclamation points, an 8th-grade reading level. When I ask for an estimate or price, always leave the numbers as blanks for me to fill in unless I give them to you. Never state code requirements as fact — mark anything code-related as VERIFY.”

The questions people actually ask.

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude to use this book?

Not yet. The free tiers of both tools will carry you through this entire book’s TRY IT NOW exercises and your first few weeks of real use. You’ll know it’s time to pay (roughly $20/month) when you hit the free tier’s daily limits during a normal workday — that’s the signal the tool is earning its keep. Chapter 11 covers what the money buys.

Is this book going to tell me AI is coming for my job?

No. It takes the opposite position, and says so on page one: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. The book's own last line on it is “this book will not tell you AI is magic. It’s a power tool. It kicks. We’ll show you where.” You can read the whole opening, First, About All That Noise, free: 1,898 words, no sign-up.

What is actually in the 150 prompts?

Eight groups: Setup & Voice (1–15), Estimates & Bids (16–40), Customer & GC Communication (41–65), Money & Paperwork (66–85), Reviews & Reputation (86–105), On the Job (106–120), Marketing & Growth (121–145), Admin & Momentum (146–150). Every title is listed free on the prompt page, and twelve of the prompts are printed there in full.

I have never used AI at work. Is this too advanced?

It assumes nothing. Chapter 2 is “The 30-Minute Setup” and Chapter 3 is “How to Talk to It” — the tool is set up and the one real skill is taught before anything else is asked of you. The glossary at the back explains every term the book uses.

How long is it?

It is about 30,187 words across 12 chapters, plus the 150-prompt library and the glossary; the audiobook runs 2h 31m across 20 tracks, measured from the masters on 2026-08-31. Chapters 1–3 take about an hour and everything else depends on them.
