Custom ChatGPT / Claude AI Setup for Trade Businesses
You've probably tried ChatGPT and got generic answers, because it knows nothing about your business. A custom AI assistant is different: it's set up with your services, your prices, your service area, your tone, and your standard answers, so it drafts quotes, replies to enquiry emails, and writes job updates that sound like you and get the details right. It's the admin help you never had time to hire, for a one-off fee.
What your assistant can do
Set up once, it becomes a written-work engine for your business. You paste in a rough note and it gives you back something you can send.
Draft quotes and estimates From a few notes to a tidy, worded quote
Reply to enquiry emails Polite, on-brand answers in seconds
Answer common questions Trained on your services, prices, and area
Write job updates Customer-friendly progress messages
Chase invoices politely Firm but friendly payment reminders
Sound like you Configured with your tone, not robotic filler
Who this service is for
Any trade business owner drowning in written admin (quotes, emails, follow-ups, updates) that they end up doing at 9pm after a full day on the tools. Sole traders benefit most, because they're their own office. It suits anyone comfortable copying and pasting on a phone or laptop; you don't need to be technical.
Setup is remote. You answer a short list of questions about your business, or send me your existing quotes and emails, and I configure the assistant and show you how to use it on a short call.
Why this is different from an AI chatbot on your site
This is a tool for you, the owner, it lives in ChatGPT or Claude and helps you do your written work faster. A pre-sales chatbot is a different thing: it lives on your website and talks to customers. Some businesses want one, some want both. This page is about the assistant that saves you hours of admin behind the scenes.
Because it's a one-off setup, there's no monthly fee to me. If you use a paid AI tier for heavier use, that subscription goes directly to the provider and stays modest. Most sole traders manage fine on a low-cost or free tier.
What it saves versus the alternatives
A part-time admin person costs hundreds a month. Generic ChatGPT is free but gives generic answers you have to heavily rewrite. A one-off configured assistant sits in between, a fixed £197 to turn the free tool into something that actually knows your business.
| Option | Cost | Knows your business | Ongoing fee to AJ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw ChatGPT | Free–£20/mo | No | n/a |
| Part-time admin | £hundreds/mo | Yes | n/a |
| Do nothing | Your evenings | n/a | n/a |
| AJ Web Design | £197 one-off | Yes | None |
One price. Nothing hidden.
One-off setup fee. Any AI tool subscription (if you choose a paid tier) is paid directly to the provider and is usually low or free.
