How Suggestions Work
Suggestions aren't random. Rex analyzes your current situation and ranks what matters most:
- Looks at your data — Overdue rentals, balances, bookings, weather, fleet status
- Ranks by priority — Urgent items first (overdue returns > outstanding balances > tomorrow prep)
- Shows the top 3 — As tappable suggestion chips in Rex Chat
- Updates after each interaction — Fresh suggestions after every response

Suggestion Types (By Priority)
Overdue Returns (Highest Priority)
When customers haven't returned on time:
"I have 3 overdue rentals — help me handle them"
"Mark the Johnson pontoon as returned"
Rex knows exactly which bookings are overdue, by how long, and who to contact.
Outstanding Balances
Money earned but not yet collected:
"I have $450 in outstanding balances — help me collect"
Rex identifies carts with unpaid balances and can draft payment reminders.
Weather + Fleet Opportunities
When the weather is good but your fleet has openings:
"Weather looks great this weekend — should I create a last-minute deal?"
"Great weather and open fleet — how do I fill empty slots?"
Rex checks your location's forecast and fleet utilization together.
Weather Advisories
When conditions might affect rentals:
"What's the weather advisory mean for my rentals today?"
Rex explains the impact and suggests proactive customer communication.
Today's Arrivals
Prep for the day ahead:
"Walk me through today's 5 arrivals"
Rex lists who's coming in, what they're renting, and what to prepare.
Tomorrow's Preview
Get ready for the next day:
"What's Saturday looking like? (8 bookings)"
Rex gives you the full rundown for tomorrow so you can plan staffing and equipment.
Pricing Gaps
When your pricing strategy has holes:
"Help me set up my first pricing rule"
"Should I add a weekend surcharge?"
Rex spots missing rule types (no weekend premium, no seasonal pricing) and suggests fixes.
Performance Trends
When there's a meaningful comparison to make:
"How's this week comparing to last week?"
New Operator Guidance
If you're just getting started:
"How do I get my first booking?"
"Help me set up my fleet and pricing"

In Rex Chat — After Responses
After Rex answers a question, updated suggestion pills appear below the input — context-aware follow-ups based on what you just discussed.
Default Suggestions
When there's nothing urgent, Rex offers general starting points:
- "How's business looking today?"
- "What should I focus on right now?"
- "Any pricing suggestions for this week?"

| Afternoon | End-of-day returns, tomorrow preview, evening prep |

Season-Aware
Rex adjusts for your business season: - Peak season — Utilization and revenue optimization - Shoulder season — Promotional pricing and gap filling - Off season — Maintenance planning and early bookings
Data-Driven
Every suggestion is backed by your actual numbers — Rex never guesses or uses generic benchmarks without context.
