Job scheduling / run-sheet dispatcher

Proposes slots, checks for clashes and texts the crew their day, so nobody's double-booked.

What it's worth

Saves 2–2.5 hrs/week

Who it's for

Trades running more than one job or crew a day who are currently juggling it all in their head or a paper diary.

DIY: how to set this up yourself

A high-level path to a basic version you can build in Claude on your own.

  1. Get your current jobs, crew and availability into one simple calendar or spreadsheet.
  2. Give Claude your standard job durations and travel buffers between suburbs.
  3. Ask Claude to draft the next day's or week's run sheet based on what's booked.
  4. Build a simple text template to send each crew member their day.
  5. Set a daily time, like 4pm, to generate and send the next day's sheet.
