Configure these example jobs with limited permissions and staff approval. Test limits and check drafts. Dispatch handles a disabled vehicle while a shop asks for an ETA. A driver calls about access at a drop location. A customer wants a receipt explained. A review says nobody called back. Give each job current rate rules, account instructions, and tow status. Do not start with an AI dispatcher. Start with one repeated office job. Keep the source record available for each run of the repeated office job. An assistant can turn a call note into a clean intake. It can prepare an account update from the tow file. It can draft a review reply from the service record. It should never invent location, availability, price, authority, or arrival time. ## Three jobs a towing agent can prepare from source records ### 1. Prepare dispatch intake from the call note The agent reads `intake/calls/2026-08-18-2147.md` and `rules/dispatch-intake.md`. It writes `dispatch/pending/2026-08-18-2147-summary.md` with the caller, callback number, pickup location as stated, destination as stated, vehicle description, reported condition, access notes, payment party, and missing questions. It does not choose a truck, assign a driver, accept the tow, calculate a final charge, or give an ETA. If the pickup location, vehicle position, destination, or authorization is unclear, the summary shows the gap and stops. ### 2. Draft an account update from the tow job file The agent reads `jobs/T-7714/job-file.md` and `accounts/A-032/service-rules.md`. The job file supplies dispatched time, assigned unit if recorded, current status, destination, exceptions, and attached receipt references. The account rules supply the client’s approved update format and recipients. It writes `drafts/T-7714-account-update.md`. The draft can report recorded status. It cannot promise arrival, claim delivery, waive storage, change a destination, disclose driver location beyond approved rules, or send the message. A stale status timestamp is labeled stale instead of rewritten as current. ### 3. Draft a review reply from the tow service record The agent reads `jobs/T-6980/service-record.md` and `rules/public-review-replies.md`. It prepares `drafts/reviews/T-6980-reply.md` using only the public-safe facts and current callback status. The agent does not post an exact pickup location, vehicle identifier, account name, police or private-property detail, payment dispute, or driver note. If the reviewer cannot be matched confidently to the service record, it drafts a neutral invitation to contact the office and marks identity unresolved. ## What the towing owner keeps You keep the call notes, rate sheet, account rules, tow job files, service records. You keep approved reply rules, corrections, receipts. The dispatch platform can remain the current system. The assistant can read controlled exports or readable records for one preparation job. You keep the authority map. The current job file governs status. The account agreement or approved account rules govern recipient and format. The rate sheet governs approved price components. A driver note is evidence until the designated owner accepts it into the service record. You keep approval and stopping. Dispatch decides who can approve a customer update. An account owner decides who can approve a contracted-client message. The owner decides who can publish a review reply. The assistant stops after the draft and receipt. Unresolved identity, location, authorization, charge, or current status stops it earlier. ## What the assistant never does without approval. Configure and test these limits. [Human-review guidance](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/safety-best-practices). It does not send a customer or account message. It does not dispatch, assign, book, reroute, cancel, or close a tow. It does not charge a card, waive a fee, release a vehicle, change storage terms. It does not promise acceptance, arrival, destination, price, completion. A green light on wording alone is not enough. Approval must bind the exact action, destination, sending account, recipient, attachments, and current status. If the job status changes after review, prepare a new preview. ## Defense ChatGPT Work supports forms on some websites. Access and task steps affect completion. [OpenAI documentation](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001280-using-cloud-browser-in-chatgpt). Example intake checks. An incomplete request could contain "car won't start, need a tow". It could omit the exact location, the vehicle, the destination, who pays. Write down the fields dispatch needs before a truck rolls. Have the dispatcher approve every arrival time, rate, and account update. Check your own site: [/check/trades](/check/trades) The check reads visible fields and public facts. It cannot prove identity or server enforcement. [See visible request fields](/check/trades#forms) ## What to write down first - **Public facts.** Service area and contact hours. The dispatcher keeps this list current. - **Required fields.** Exact location, vehicle, destination, payer, and callback details. The dispatcher checks missing answers. - **Current source.** Current tow and dispatch history per account. Name the current file that controls each job. - **Approval and stops.** Name who approves messages and changes. Stop when required facts conflict or are missing. - **Corrections.** The dispatcher puts accepted corrections in the current file. Date each change and check the next draft. ## Website If your towing company has no site, or one page with a truck photo and a number, a stranded driver cannot tell whether you reach their road, tow their vehicle class, or take cards. A working site names the work you take: light-duty tows, roadside service, lockouts, and heavy recovery if you run it. It lists the area your trucks cover and the hours dispatch answers. It gives the driver one number and states the payment methods you accept. Scale With Search builds small websites for towing companies. A small website costs **$1,500 to $2,500**, with SEO setup included. The written scope names the pages, the area you serve, and the way a visitor reaches you before work starts. [Full scope and terms](/work). [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) with the services you run and the area your trucks cover. ## What it costs Scale With Search builds three things for a towing company: a scoped website, the source record behind it, and a business tool with defined inputs and outputs. A written scope states each price before work starts. If you need help to define the job first, the session costs **$1,500**. That payment is **credited toward the build**. The [work page](/work) states website price bands, revision terms, and payment terms. Source records and preparation tools have separate lines in the written scope. That includes the three jobs above. If intake summaries cause the most repeat work, test that one preparation job first. Do not start with a replacement dispatch operation. ## FAQ ### Can the assistant give callers an ETA? Not from a guess or an old chat. It may prepare a status statement from `jobs/T-7714/job-file.md`. A person with current dispatch authority approves any ETA or arrival promise. ### Can it calculate a tow price? It can organize recorded rate components from an approved rate sheet. Unresolved mileage, equipment, storage, account terms, or exceptions block a final charge. ### Can it assign the nearest driver? No. Assignment changes live operations. It depends on current location, equipment, hours, access, priority, and company rules. The preparation assistant stops before dispatch. ### What if the driver’s note conflicts with dispatch? The run reports both exact source paths and stops. An authorized owner corrects or promotes the current fact. The AI tool does not decide which employee is right. ### Does this replace our towing or dispatch software? No. It defines a readable source path and preparation job around the systems you already use. Replacement becomes a separate decision only if the current system cannot support the accepted outcome. ## Follow these office jobs - [Prepare dispatch intake from the call note](/guides/towing-companies/prepare-dispatch-intake-from-the-call-note) -
