Rewrite your treatment prep sheets into plain scripts with AI, then turn them into a short two-voice podcast with NotebookLM

who Billy Olesen, CEO of PestStop (Pest Stop Services), a pest control company in Olympia, Washington, in Pest Control Technology

What it does

The company's existing prep sheets go into ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude with prompts to rewrite them as a clear, conversational script that stresses key instructions, explains why each step matters and drops technical language. The AI is given the company's values. The finished script goes into Google's NotebookLM, which turns it into a podcast conversation between two AI voices.

ChatGPT Free $0; Go $8/mo; Plus $20/mo; Pro $100/mo · Google Gemini $4.99/mo (Google AI Plus); free plan available · Claude $17/mo billed annually ($20 monthly) · NotebookLM not checked.

The problem

Customers weren't always following prep instructions before treatments, and details got lost between call scripts, customer service reps and property managers.

What happened

The prep podcasts are now part of the standard procedure for every PestStop service. "It still takes time to get it right, but AI is helping us make sure the quality of what we're putting out there is much better," Olesen says. No figures.

How to set it up yourself

  1. What PestStop used: ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude to rewrite its prep sheets, with the company's values in the prompt, then Google NotebookLM to turn each script into a two-voice audio conversation.
  2. Pick the prep sheet customers ignore most (for example, bed bug or cockroach prep) and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini with the prompt below.
  3. Check the script line by line against your label directions and service rules, and have a technician read it.
  4. In NotebookLM, create a notebook, add the approved script as a source and generate an Audio Overview; listen to all of it before sharing.
  5. Send the audio link with the appointment confirmation and add it to your CSR script, so every customer gets the same instructions.

Copy-paste prompt

Here is our prep sheet for {SERVICE, E.G. BED BUG TREATMENT}: {PASTE}. Our company values are: {LIST}. Rewrite it as a friendly, plain-English script a customer with no pest control experience can follow. Put the 3 most important steps first, explain in one line why each step matters, keep every safety instruction word for word, and don't add any step or product that isn't on the sheet.
