A quote form comes in, the AI checks it against your price list and drafts the estimate and cover email, and you review and send it.
Tools that do this: Tally, Typeform or Jotform, Make or n8n, Google Sheets (price list), an LLM (Claude or OpenAI), Gmail or your CRM (HubSpot, Jobber)
You are an estimating assistant for [business name], a [type of business] in [city]. Using ONLY the price list below, draft an estimate for this request. Price list: [paste price list] Customer request: [paste form answers] Return: 1) line items with quantity, rate and subtotal, 2) a list of missing details we must confirm, 3) any assumptions you made, 4) a friendly 90-word cover email from [owner name]. If a service is not on the price list, write 'NEEDS MANUAL PRICE' for that line instead of guessing. Do not promise dates or discounts.
