Timing diagrams

Three chasers in one machine. Use one, two or all three.

Quote Chaser

For quotes you sent that nobody answered.

STOPS WHEN: they reply · they book · you say stop

Review Getter

For every finished job. Everyone gets the same request: no picking only happy customers.

STOPS WHEN: they reply · after one reminder

Invoice Chaser

For invoices past their due date.

STOPS WHEN: it's paid · they reply · you say stop

House rules

Built into the machine, not left to the AI's mood.

  • 01

    It can't change the numbers

    The amount owed comes from your sheet. If an AI-written email gets a figure wrong, a safe template goes instead.

  • 02

    It never threatens

    Firm, yes. Rude or legalistic, never. Anything past the last reminder is handed to you.

  • 03

    It asks everyone for a review

    Not just the happy ones, which keeps you inside Google's rules. Complaints come to you privately.

  • 04

    Any reply stops it

    The moment a customer answers, the chasing stops and the reply comes to you.
