Say the Job, Get the Invoice
🎙️ "Invoice Mr Davies at 14 High Street £180 for a boiler service and new radiator valve"
What happens: Client, address, job description, and amount are all extracted into a ready-to-send invoice draft.
🎙️ "Invoice ABC Lettings £450 plus VAT for a consumer unit upgrade and full testing"
What happens: Smart Help adds 20% VAT automatically and builds the line item from the job description.
🎙️ "Invoice Tom Reynolds £320 for turf supply and six hours of garden clearance"
What happens: Multiple job elements in one sentence become clear, itemised invoice lines.
🎙️ "Invoice Elite Offices Ltd £160 for weekly commercial deep clean"
What happens: Recognises the client is a company and formats the invoice with full business details.
🎙️ "Invoice James Smith £2,400 for second-fix brickwork including sand and cement"
What happens: Labour and materials mentioned together are combined into one clear line item and total.
🎙️ "Invoice ACME Ltd £1,250 for consulting, ex VAT"
What happens: "Ex VAT" is understood correctly — VAT is added on top of the £1,250, not deducted from it.
🎙️ "Invoice Sarah Johnson £500 for website design"
What happens: A simple one-line job becomes a complete invoice in seconds — no menus, no forms.
🎙️ "Invoice Mrs Watson £380 for emergency storm damage repair, fifteen slate tiles"
What happens: Works just as well for an emergency call-out invoiced on-site as for a scheduled job.
🎙️ "Invoice Tech Solutions Ltd, 3 hours consulting at £75 per hour"
What happens: Rate and hours are multiplied out automatically — £225 total, correctly itemised.
🎙️ "Invoice David Taylor £550 for skimming the kitchen ceiling and drylining the bedroom"
What happens: Two separate jobs in one sentence are captured as one clean invoice.
🎙️ "Invoice Digital Dynamics £950 for monthly retainer, VAT included"
What happens: "VAT included" backs the 20% out of the £950 automatically, so your totals stay accurate.
🎙️ "Invoice Mrs Higgins £950 for prepping and painting the living room and hallway"
What happens: Reads naturally even for longer, multi-room job descriptions.
