# AutomatedByFriday > Automate one boring task by Friday. Plain-English, UK-first guides that show estate agents, consultants, accountants and tradespeople how to automate one boring task with AI. Clear steps, real costs, copy-paste prompts. Every guide states who it is for, setup time, monthly cost (in GBP, including free options), tools, step-by-step instructions, a copy-paste prompt, a Make/Zapier/n8n outline, UK-specific rules (material information, Making Tax Digital, UK GDPR, Consumer Contracts Regulations, DMCC Act fake-review rules), pitfalls, an FAQ and cited sources. Content is general information, not legal or tax advice. Prices were checked on the date shown on each guide. Full text of every guide: https://automatedbyfriday.com/llms-full.txt ## AI automations for UK estate and letting agents Hub: https://automatedbyfriday.com/estate-agents/ - [How to auto-reply to Rightmove and Zoopla leads in minutes and log them in your CRM](https://automatedbyfriday.com/estate-agents/auto-reply-portal-leads/): Forward your Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket enquiry emails to a Make mailhook. AI pulls out the applicant’s name, contact details, property and what they want, a polite personalised reply goes out straight away with your booking link, and the lead is created or updated in HubSpot’s free CRM. Valuation requests are flagged to a person immediately. (Setup: 60–90 minutes. Cost: £0–£11.) - [How to write Rightmove-ready property descriptions with AI](https://automatedbyfriday.com/estate-agents/rightmove-listing-descriptions-ai/): Fill in a short fact sheet after the valuation, paste it into a ChatGPT project that already knows your house style and the material information rules, and get a portal-ready description, key features and a social caption back in under a minute. Once that works, a free Google Form and a free Make scenario can email the draft to the negotiator automatically. You still check every fact before it goes live. (Setup: 20 minutes (ChatGPT) + 30 minutes (optional automation). Cost: £0–£19.99.) ## AI automations for consultants, freelancers and solo founders Hub: https://automatedbyfriday.com/consultants/ - [Chase unpaid invoices automatically with polite AI-written reminders](https://automatedbyfriday.com/consultants/chase-unpaid-invoices-automatically/): First, switch on the free reminders already built into your invoicing tool (Xero sends them 7, 14 and 21 days after the due date by default). If you want firmer, more personal follow-ups, a daily Make scenario finds overdue invoices, asks AI to write a reminder in the right tone for how late it is, and saves it as a Gmail draft for you to send. For business clients, the final reminder can mention statutory late payment interest and compensation. (Setup: 5 minutes (built-in reminders) + 45 minutes (AI follow-ups). Cost: £0–£11.) - [Turn a sales call into a proposal draft in 10 minutes with AI](https://automatedbyfriday.com/consultants/call-recording-to-proposal/): Record and transcribe your discovery call (Fireflies, or the transcript built into Zoom, Teams or Google Meet), paste the transcript into a ChatGPT project that knows your services and pricing, and get a structured proposal draft back. Paste that into Gamma to turn it into a clean, branded document or deck. Most of the work is a one-off setup; after that each proposal takes about 10 minutes plus your review. (Setup: 45 minutes once, then about 10 minutes per proposal. Cost: £0–£35.) ## AI automations for UK accountants, bookkeepers and sole traders Hub: https://automatedbyfriday.com/accountants/ - [Automatically request missing client documents every MTD quarter](https://automatedbyfriday.com/accountants/request-missing-client-documents/): Keep one Google Sheet listing each client and which documents you have for the current quarter. After each Making Tax Digital quarter ends, a scheduled Make scenario finds clients with anything outstanding, asks AI to write a short personalised email listing only what’s missing with your upload link, saves it as a draft or sends it, and logs the date. It chases a week later and alerts you if anything is still missing ten days before the 7th deadline. (Setup: 90 minutes. Cost: £0–£11.) - [Turn receipt photos into an MTD-ready expenses spreadsheet with AI](https://automatedbyfriday.com/accountants/receipt-photo-to-spreadsheet-ai/): Photograph each receipt into a Google Drive folder. A free Make scenario spots the new file, asks an AI vision model to read the date, supplier, total, VAT and suggest an HMRC expense category, adds a row to your Google Sheet with a link to the photo, and moves the file into a ‘processed’ folder. You tick each row as checked. The sheet then links to HMRC-recognised bridging software for your Making Tax Digital quarterly updates. (Setup: 60 minutes. Cost: £0–£11.) ## AI automations for UK tradespeople Hub: https://automatedbyfriday.com/tradespeople/ - [Get more Google reviews automatically after every job, without breaking the rules](https://automatedbyfriday.com/tradespeople/automatic-google-review-requests/): Copy your official review link from your Google Business Profile, log each finished job in a Google Sheet (or a 20-second form on your phone), and let a free Make scenario send every customer a short, personal review request that evening. Ask every customer, not just the happy ones, never offer rewards, and use the ChatGPT prompt here to reply to every review, good or bad, in a minute. (Setup: 45 minutes. Cost: £0.) - [Voice note to written quote in 2 minutes with ChatGPT](https://automatedbyfriday.com/tradespeople/voice-note-to-quote/): Set up a ChatGPT project once with your rates, materials markup, VAT status and standard terms. After each site visit, tap the microphone and describe the job in your own words. ChatGPT turns it into a tidy written quote with line items, totals, exclusions and the 14-day cancellation notice that applies to most jobs agreed at the customer’s home. You check the prices and send it. Cost: free, or £19.99 a month for heavy use. (Setup: 30 minutes once, then 2–5 minutes per quote. Cost: £0–£19.99.) ## Optional - [About](https://automatedbyfriday.com/about/): who we are and how we check guides - [Affiliate disclosure](https://automatedbyfriday.com/affiliate-disclosure/): how the site makes money - [Newsletter](https://automatedbyfriday.com/newsletter/): one practical automation every Friday - [Contact](https://automatedbyfriday.com/contact/)
