Should a Tradie Use AI to Write Quotes?
Where AI helps
The quoting tasks AI can support
Writing the follow-up message
A short, polite follow-up after sending a quote. AI can draft the wording, you check and send.
Formatting and structure
Making the quote easier to read: clear sections, payment terms, what is included and what is not.
Where to keep humans in charge
What AI should not do with your quotes
Do not let AI set final pricing. Do not let it decide scope, inclusions or exclusions without trade knowledge. Do not use AI-generated wording for safety clauses, warranty terms or compliance notes without checking with a professional.
