Ask it the way you would ask a colleague.

Open the agent and ask about today

The agent panel is on every screen of the workspace. Open it and ask something you already know the answer to: "what is booked for tomorrow", "how many jobs did we do last week", "what did we charge Sra. García for her tyres". It answers from your data, with the jobs or customers it used shown underneath so you can check.

That first question is a calibration. It shows you the agent reads the same workspace you do and does not invent a job that is not there.

Let it do the looking up

The agent is quickest at the things that take you three clicks: find a customer by half a name, pull the tyre sizes for a registration, check whether a size is in stock or on order, show every unpaid invoice older than a month. Ask in a sentence and it brings the answer and a link to the record.

• "Which customers had tyres from us last October" is a reminder list you could send today.
• "What is our margin on premium tyres this month" is a report you did not have to build.
• "Show me jobs that ran over their slot last week" is a conversation to have with the team.

Let it draft, and you decide

Ask the agent to draft a quote for a customer who rang about brakes and a service, and it builds the lines from your service menu at your prices for that vehicle, ready for you to send or change. Ask it to write a reply to a customer email, a note for a job, or the text of a reminder, and it writes in plain words you can edit.

Anything it drafts is a draft. It does not send a quote or an email until you say so. The habit to build is: ask, read, adjust, send.

Let it change things, carefully

The agent can make changes when you ask: move a booking, add a note to a job, apply a price rule across the range, mark a job complete. Each change is shown before it happens and recorded afterwards with who asked for it. Permissions apply to the agent the same way they apply to people: a fitter asking the agent to change prices gets the same answer a fitter would get from the Prices screen.

Start with small changes and read what it did. Within a few days most people trust it with the routine ones and keep the pricing decisions for themselves.

Use it from where you already work

The agent is in the workspace, in the Fixer app, and can be connected to the AI tools you already use on your phone or desktop, so you can ask about tomorrow's diary from wherever you are. The connection is made once in Settings and uses the same permissions as your login.

For a mobile fitter, asking the agent for the next job's address while driving is the kind of small thing that adds up over a week.

Questions worth asking in the first week

The fastest way to learn what the agent can do is to ask it the questions you would otherwise answer by clicking around. Try these in the first week:

• What is unpaid and more than two weeks old?
• Which tyre sizes did we fit most last month?
• Draft a reminder text for customers whose annual test is due next month.
• Move the ten o'clock booking on Thursday to eleven and let the customer know.
• What did we earn per bay last week?
• Which jobs this week have no photos on them?

Each of those is a thing you can do by hand. The agent is for doing them without stopping what you were doing.

What it will not do

It will not set your pricing policy, decide which jobs to take, or talk to a customer without you. Those are your decisions. It will not make up an answer when the data is not there; it says so, and shows you what it did find. During the trial, the best use of it is as a fast pair of hands on the typing, the lookups and the reports, which is where most of the hours go.
