The task
Turn a client progress claim preparation into an automated workflow. It starts when work done to date and the contract milestones arrives. It must end with a progress claim preparation pack. Available systems: WhatsApp Business, project tools or Excel/Google Sheets, site photo folders, accounting software. Map out: trigger, fields to capture, AI step, decision rules, where a human approves, what happens on failure, data to store. Also claim certification time tracking. Keep the whole thing maintainable by a small team.
Replace “work done to date and the contract milestones” and the listed systems with what you actually run.
New here? How the four prompts work together
They are one sequence, not four options. Run them in order on the same piece of work, feeding each answer into the next.
Create
Paste your real data. You get a first draft. Most people never need to go further than this.
Analyse
Paste that draft back in. It tells you what is weak, missing or wrong before a customer sees it.
Optimise
Paste the draft again with what Analyse found. You get a stronger version.
Automate
Only once the output has been good five times running. This is the one people reach for too early.
Nothing forces you through all four. A good Create draft that you edit yourself is a finished job. The longer version.

Is this for you?
- Pick it for
- small contractors, renovation firms and project teams running Malaysian construction jobs. No setup needed. If you can copy and paste, you can run it.
- What you get
- Drafted in minutes, not built from scratch. It aims at cash flow. Watch one number: claim certification time.

- Most SMEs run it monthly. If you are doing it by hand more often, automate it first.
How to run it
- 01Collect the input: work done to date and the contract milestones.
- 02Copy the Create prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
- 03Replace “work done to date and the contract milestones” in the prompt with your real data, then run it.
- 04Review the output and get a human sign-off — this one touches money, staff or compliance.
- 05Track claim certification time. Only wire up the Automate prompt after five useful runs in a row.
The tools you will need
The prompts run in any chat assistant — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. These are what you need around them to get the input in and the output somewhere useful.
- WhatsApp Business
- project tools or Excel/Google Sheets
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- site photo folders
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- accounting software
- AutoCountMalaysian, widely used for SST and e-Invoice.
- QuickBooks
- Xero
Check the rules yourself
This workflow touches rules set by someone else. Check the current requirements yourself before you act on the output.
- CIDB
- Your registration grade caps the project value you can tender for, and it has to be current when you bid rather than when you finish. Site personnel carry their own cards.
- DOSH
- Workplace incidents carry reporting duties with deadlines, and some plant needs a certificate of fitness before it runs. A safety document generated by AI is a draft for your safety officer, never the record itself.

Data & privacy
If you paste customer or staff details into an AI tool, your business stays responsible for them under the PDPA. Replace names and numbers with initials or references first.
Using customer data with AI tools in Malaysia covers what to check with any provider before you paste.
For this website, it works differently.
Nothing you type here is sent to us or to an AI model. The prompts are static content, and the copy button works directly inside your browser.
