In an October 30, 2026 case study, Charleston AI, the firm that set it up, describes an eleven-person moving company in Goose Creek, South Carolina whose crews waited outside 87 buildings the previous year, which it puts at about $24,000 at $195 an hour for a three-person crew. Using the owner's own ChatGPT Pro account, it connected OpenAI's always-on agent to her email, booking system, crew calendar, her insurance agency's certificate portal and a list of 212 buildings with their rules. When a deposit lands, the agent checks both addresses, reserves the elevator or dock, requests the certificate in the exact wording the building wants, registers the truck at gated communities, files street permits, and sends the customer a one-page move-day plan. Every Thursday it rechecks the next ten days of moves. It may request certificates her current policy already covers, but it never changes her coverage. These are the firm's own figures. The prompt below builds the same checklist with any AI assistant. ## Inputs to collect first Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts. - Date, time - Ress, unit - E.g. 3 movers, 26 ft truck - The rules, contact and portal for each building, or say 'unknown' - Portal or email - CHECK ## Instructions Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket]. Help me clear building access for a booked move so my crew doesn't wait outside. Move date and window: [date, time]. Pickup address: [address, unit]. Drop-off address: [address, unit]. Crew size and truck: [e.g. 3 movers, 26 ft truck]. What I already know about each building: [paste the rules, contact and portal for each building, or say 'unknown']. My insurance agency's certificate process: [portal or email]. 1) For each address, list everything that could stop the crew getting in: elevator or loading-dock booking, building manager approval, gate or guard list, parking or street permit, move hours, floor protection rules, and the insurance certificate (holder name, additional insured wording, limits). Mark anything you're unsure of as [CHECK] and tell me who to ask. 2) Draft each request ready for me to send: elevator or dock booking, gate registration, certificate request to my agency with the exact wording the building needs, and the permit application details. 3) Write a one-page move-day plan for the customer: where the truck will park, when the elevator is theirs, and anything they must do. 4) Give me a recheck list for 3 days before the move: what to reconfirm with whom. 5) Flag anything that would need a change to my insurance coverage; don't request or suggest buying coverage, just list it for me. Don't send, file or book anything yourself; give me the drafts to approve. ## Safety checks (share these with the user) - Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes. - Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings. - Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically". - Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details. - Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed. ## About this skill - Works with: ChatGPT, Claude, Gmail, Google Calendar - Based on this real-world example: https://ai-chs.com/intelligence/2026-10-30-ai-move-clearance-coordinator/ - Free prompt from AgentPlaybook Real Estate: https://agentic-library.netlify.app/prompt/al-476-stop-moving-crews-from-waiting-outside-buildings-have-an-ai/ - To install in an agent that supports Agent Skills, save this file as SKILL.md in a folder with the same name as `name` above (for example in your skills directory).
