#RefreshFriday Merchandizing - Someone is Launching a new Service | Joe Pistell

Here is "Joes Core" Prompt.
It enforces quality standards across everything. I HATE hedging, fluff, fillers and I HATE hallucinations. This prompt is soo next level. When you have a complex mission, use it. Insert it at the top of the chat. Let me know how it works

If anyone uses this prompt, let me know how it works for you. There's 2 yrs of work behind "Joes Core" Prompt.
 
@joe.pistell I can't wait until you discover OpenClaw, buy yourself a few Mac Studios and start running a whole team of agents. You're pushing the web-based model so far, but you're scratching the surface of what can be done.

Once you make the leap, alot of things become much easier:
  • Sending a message to your Agent while on the go, telling it to research something for you
  • Reading your emails, meeting minutes or historical chats to prepare you for every day
  • Completing repetitive tasks for you daily - checking the latest stats, running tests, posting content, etc
  • Optimizing - if you can see it, AI can capture it. You can rotate photos on a vehicle every X days for Y period of time and measure the results with an agent, rather than having to prompt it constantly
And many, many more things.
I definitely caution jumping too deep into OpenClaw though - it's a scary world until more strict and secure versions come out.

Let's work that "Check Availability" CTA"

CTA call to action is one of the most valuable lead gens, let's experiment!

Within our constraints of car dealer world... this is very doable:

This CTA exploits that most websites are updated hourly. This moves the CTA into a sense of urgency.

TROLLS... Be nice, this is a 1st draft, I am sharing the draft for idea improvement feedback.


This is yet another "you heard it here first" share on DR.
Your NEVER see this on Linkedin.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Joe Pistell, a well-known automotive inventory expert in the DealerRefresh community, reveals he has spent five months building a new AI-powered used car merchandising platform, developing a library of 18 specialized AI prompts — including his 'Joes Core' quality-enforcement prompt — to power the product. The thread evolves into a broader discussion about AI tooling and agentic workflows, with Joe sharing buyer survey data showing 60% of buyers visited the dealer website three or more times and 40% never visited a competitor, and teasing a redesigned 'Check Availability' CTA meant to create urgency. The key takeaway is that Joe is close to a beta launch of what he calls an industry-first merchandising tool built almost entirely through deep, structured AI prompting.
