Voice note and job photos feeding AI draft line items.

What AI quote assist actually does

Describe the job by text or voice, optionally add job photos. AI suggests line items and descriptions. You edit prices and scope before sending.

Scope modes: My trade only or Whole job — useful when you are the subcontractor or quoting the full renovation.

Credits and limits

ProperTradie Pro includes 100 AI credits monthly. Quote AI uses 2 credits per draft. Not unlimited — by design, so you stay intentional.

You still own the quote

AI does not know your local rates, risk appetite or customer relationship. Review every line. Do not send blind.

Pair AI with your reusable items catalogue for consistent pricing on common lines.

Common mistakes

  • Sending AI drafts without reviewing prices
  • Assuming AI knows your local rates
  • Treating credits as unlimited
