Common questions
What's the difference between chasing a progress claim and a regular invoice?
The prompt handles both — just describe what you're chasing. For a progress claim, include the claim number and the milestone it relates to; for an invoice, the job name and amount. The lesson covers the wording differences that matter for each.
The messages it drafts — will they hold up if it goes legal?
These are professional reminders, not legal notices. If a payment dispute gets serious, take advice from a debt recovery professional or your industry association. The AI drafts polite-but-firm messages for the everyday situation; you decide if and when to escalate beyond that.
How do I make the messages sound like me, not a template?
Tell it your usual tone — 'direct and no-nonsense' or 'firm but still professional' — and paste in one message you've written before. It'll match your voice rather than producing something that reads like a generic corporate letter.
Will it send the reminders for me on a schedule?
No. It drafts the three messages — gentle nudge, firmer follow-up, final notice — and you decide which to send and when. Staying in control of timing is important when a client relationship is involved.
What if the client disputes the claim amount?
For a disputed amount, don't paste that dispute context into a free AI tool. Handle disputes directly. This lesson is for the common case — a clean claim that's simply late — not for contested amounts.
