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.

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.
- fleet or dispatch system
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- WhatsApp Business
- Excel/Google Sheets
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- accounting software
- AutoCountMalaysian, widely used for SST and e-Invoice.
- QuickBooks
- Xero
- GPS and mileage logs

Check the rules yourself
This workflow touches rules set by someone else. Check the current requirements yourself before you act on the output.
- APAD
- Carrying goods or passengers for payment needs an operator licence, and it is tied to specific vehicles and routes. Sabah and Sarawak have their own bodies.
- JPJ
- Using a vehicle commercially is not the same registration as using it privately, and inspection duties differ. Get the class wrong and your insurance follows the registration, not your intention.
- RMCD
- Cross the registration threshold and you must charge SST and file returns on time. Whether a service is taxable or exempt is decided here, and getting it wrong is expensive to unwind later.

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.
