Know your real profit on every handmade piece you sell
Before you list a piece, it shows what you'd really earn per hour at three different prices.

Your prompt

ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Act as my project bookkeeper for one piece I'm making to sell: [THE PROJECT, e.g. restoring a vintage dresser]. I'll send receipt photos and work hours as I go. Each time, log the item, cost and date, or the hours and what I did, and show running totals for materials and hours. Don't guess unclear numbers. Ask me. When I say finished, give me: 1) total materials, supplies used up, fees and shipping, 2) total hours, 3) what I'd earn per hour if it sold at [YOUR FIRST PRICE IDEA, e.g. $450], plus 20 percent lower and 20 percent higher, 4) the lowest price that still pays me [YOUR TARGET HOURLY RATE, e.g. $25 an hour], 5) one cost I could cut next time. Put the summary in a simple table.
Keep one chat per project. Snap each receipt and log your hours as you go. When it's done, you get your true cost, your hourly pay at different prices and a price you can stand behind.
