AI AGENT TEMPLATE
An AI agent that drafts professional boat damage reports from staff photos and notes. High-dollar damage needs defensible documentation.
Boat damage assessments are where many rental operations quietly leak revenue. A scuff on the gelcoat, a bent prop, a torn seat cushion — small individually, but across a season they add up to real money, and the manual process of photographing, pricing, drafting a customer email, and deciding what to charge is slow and inconsistent enough that most operators either undercharge or let damage go uncharged to avoid the hassle.
The Boat Damage Report Drafter standardises and accelerates the whole process. Staff photograph damage on return and tag the affected vessel and item in the booking app. The agent pulls the rate card, assesses typical repair or replacement costs, drafts a calm, evidence-based customer email citing photos and itemised charges, and stages everything for manager approval before any money moves.
Fairness translates directly into financial results. Customers who receive a clear, photographed, evidence-backed damage email dispute and chargeback at dramatically lower rates than customers who get a cryptic line-item on a statement. Operators using the agent report dispute rates down 50-70%, average assessment time down from an hour to under 10 minutes, and total damage revenue recovery up 40-60% versus the "too small to bother with" status quo.
Below is the full agent spec: trigger, tools, rate-card integration, and how to configure approval gates and customer-communication tone for your operation.
"When I upload damage photos, staff note, and rental ID, draft a full damage report: type, location, severity, cause analysis, repair plan from rate card, charge calculation, customer letter. Save as draft."
Paste this into Dash Agents. Dash reads the prompt, picks the right tools, assembles the logic, and creates a ready-to-run agent in seconds.
The agent uses the standard Dash Agents tool library. Every tool call is logged.
On trigger, the agent runs these steps in order. Any step can be customised by re-prompting.
Photos, note, rental ID.
Hull, gelcoat, engine, interior, electronics, safety gear, accessories.
Customer, rental dates, vessel.
Type, location, severity, estimated cause.
Professional, firm, references agreement.
From rate card.
Manager reviews before sending.
Customisations by re-prompting in plain English: change the trigger timing or conditions, adjust the recipient list, tune thresholds, modify tone, add approval gates, connect additional channels (SMS, WhatsApp) if available. Run in approval mode for the first week to build confidence before switching to autonomous.
Structured automation beats manual follow-up in three ways:
Set this agent up on your first week. Run in approval mode for five days while you watch the outputs, then flip to autonomous. The ROI compounds across a full season — a quiet automation that simply does the right thing, every time, without anyone having to remember.
