Before using AI at work
Can AI set my freelance rate?
Use your costs, capacity and scope; generated rates are not evidence of what your clients will pay.
What if the client adds more work?
Refer to the agreed scope and propose a written change before doing the extra work.
May I reuse a client proposal as an example?
Remove confidential details and get permission where needed before sharing it.
How do I chase an unpaid invoice politely?
Check the ledger, state the invoice and due date, and ask for a payment update without inventing penalties.
