Using the AI Quote Assistant

Describe a job in plain English and let AI generate structured line items with material and printer suggestions.

The AI Quote Assistant turns a plain English description into a structured quote with line items, material suggestions, and estimated costs.

How It Works

On the quote creation page, click the AI Assistant button. Describe the job in natural language:

"Customer needs 5 custom cable clips in PETG, about 3cm each, snap-fit design. Also wants a mounting plate in PLA, roughly 15cm x 10cm, 3mm thick."

What the AI Generates

The assistant analyses your description and creates structured line items:

  • Item descriptions — clear, professional descriptions for each part
  • Material suggestions — matched to materials in your library
  • Quantity — extracted from your description
  • Estimated dimensions and weight — based on the described parts

Review and Edit

The AI's output is a suggestion — review the generated line items, adjust prices, quantities, or descriptions, and then add them to your quote. The AI helps you get 80% of the way there; you provide the final polish.

Tips

  • Be specific about quantities, materials, and dimensions for better results
  • Mention any special requirements (heat resistance, flexibility, food safe)
  • The AI knows your printer and material library, so it suggests from your actual inventory
