Check your chosen AI tool before using it for office work. Start with inquiry fields, public facts, source files, and message approval. ## The five things for roofing companies ### Can AI request an estimate with no roof type? Example: A request says "roof leak after the storm". Check for roof type, insurer, and claim status. Test whether your form rejects incomplete requests. For ChatGPT, check [supported website workflows](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001280-using-cloud-browser-in-chatgpt) before testing it. **Do this:** Make those three fields required. [Check what your estimate form accepts](/check/trades) [See which details a request must include](/for/roofing-companies#defense) [See visible request fields](/check/trades#forms) ### What roofs does AI say we work on? ChatGPT can be mistaken. [See OpenAI's accuracy limits](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8313428-does-chatgpt-tell-the-truth). Compare answers about metal and flat roof work with your current website. **Do this:** Check the area and services your website states. [See what your website should state](/for/roofing-companies#website) [See visible business facts](/check/trades#agent_facts) ### Who owns our measurements, photos, and quotes? Keep measurements, photos, quotes, and completion reports together. Keep a current copy that your business controls. Limit access to the files needed for this job. Test those limits in the tool's settings. This is a manual check; the scanner cannot see private files. **Do this:** Keep those files current, then compare which AI fits. [See the files you keep](/for/roofing-companies#what-the-roofing-owner-keeps) [Compare which AI fits the office](/choose/roofing-companies) ### Who approves prices and letters to insurers? Require approval from the owner for price and every letter to an insurer. Review changed measurements or photos before using the earlier approval. Keep action permissions separate from drafting. This is a manual check; the scanner does not score approvals. **Do this:** Make the owner the only approver for both. [Your roofing company keeps re-explaining every job to AI](/for/roofing-companies#what-the-agent-never-does-without-approval) ### What should the office write down first? Write the inspection request checklist: address, roof type, insurer, claim status. Keep the service area and roof types next to it. **Do this:** Check every estimate request against that list.
