Frequently asked questions

What does AI Estimate Assistant do?

It organizes customer and project information and helps generate editable project summaries, scopes of work, and professional estimate drafts. It is a drafting and workflow assistant, not an automatic pricing authority.

Who is this application designed for?

It is suitable for contractors, landscapers, roofers, plumbers, HVAC companies, painters, remodelers, agencies, freelancers, consultants, and other service businesses that prepare customer estimates or project quotes.

Does the application calculate my prices automatically?

No. You remain responsible for labor rates, materials, taxes, margins, measurements, quantities, discounts, and the final price. The application helps organize information and improve the written estimate.

Can I edit the generated estimate?

Yes. AI-generated content is a starting draft. You should review and edit the project summary, scope, terms, wording, pricing references, and customer details before using it.

Does it send estimates automatically?

No. Version 1 creates editable estimate drafts for you to review and send through your normal email, print, PDF, CRM, or customer communication process.

Can I use it without an AI API key?

Yes. Demo mode lets you test the interface and workflow without a live AI connection. Live generation requires your own supported AI provider credentials.

What estimate tones are available?

The application supports professional, friendly, short, detailed, confident, and sales-focused styles. The best choice depends on your brand, customer relationship, and project complexity.

Can it create legally binding contracts?

No. It prepares estimate and scope drafts. Contract terms, warranties, insurance language, payment schedules, cancellation rights, licensing statements, and legal obligations should be reviewed by a qualified professional for your business and jurisdiction.

Can I use it for different industries?

Yes. The workflow is intentionally flexible. Results improve when you provide accurate trade-specific details, exclusions, assumptions, measurements, materials, timelines, and customer expectations.

Will AI always produce an accurate scope of work?

No. AI can omit details, misunderstand notes, or add unsupported language. Verify every task, material, quantity, responsibility, exclusion, date, and promise before sending the estimate.

Is this a subscription service?

No. It is sold as a one-time purchase for a self-hosted PHP/MySQL application. Your web hosting and any AI provider usage charges are separate.

Is it a WordPress plugin?

No. It is a standalone PHP/MySQL application that can be installed in its own folder or subdomain on compatible hosting.

Can multiple employees use the application?

That depends on the user and access controls included in your installed version and license. Protect administrator access and provide access only to staff authorized to view customer and pricing information.

What information should I avoid entering?

Avoid passwords, payment card data, unnecessary identity information, private medical information, and confidential customer data that is not required to prepare the estimate. Redact sensitive details before using a live AI provider.

Can I customize the source code and branding?

You receive the self-hosted application files and may customize them for your licensed use. Keep a record of changes so future upgrades can be reviewed and merged safely.

What hosting is required?

Use compatible hosting with PHP 8.1 or newer, MySQL or MariaDB, PDO MySQL, cURL for live AI requests, JSON and mbstring support, and HTTPS for production use.
