Autoflow’s AI enhancements are designed to assist technicians and service advisors in creating more comprehensive and easily understandable notes from their inspections.
Our aim is to reduce the amount of time it takes to improve clarity in communication with clients while retaining the personal touch that emphasizes trust and transparency.
How to Use the AI Features
Best Practice
In ideal inspection process, Service Advisors will review all digital inspection results before sending to clients.
As a part of this review process, Advisors have been encouraged to modify notes to make them simple for clients.
Now, Advisors can click the AI button on any notes to prompt enhancements in no time!
The feature is not limited to advisors.
Technicians also have access to the AI button.
Notice: The AI button will not write a note for you. Users must enter a note before suggestions can be prompted.
Notice: There is a limit of three queries per line.
Accessing AI Suggestions
- Each line item in the DVI includes an “AI” button.
- If a technician leaves a brief or unclear note, click the “AI” button.
- The button generates a more detailed suggestion based on the original note.
Accepting and Modifying Suggestions
- Staff can modify the AI suggestion, or accept it as is. (You can always modify it later!)
- AI can expand suggestions, such as detailing implications of low transmission fluid, or make a longer message more concise.
- After making changes or accepting, hit “Accept” to store the note.
- The system indicates that the note was generated by AI, ensuring accountability.
- Color coding and mouse-overs make it simple to see which notes were revised using AI.
- A green icon appears next to notes when a staff member accepts an AI suggestion without modification.
- If modifications are made to an AI-generated note, a blue icon will be displayed.
