How AI material suggestions work

Describe a job in plain English and QuoteMate's AI suggests the materials and quantities you need, then applies live supplier pricing. It's a starting point that saves you building the list from scratch — you stay in control and edit anything.

How to use it

Type or dictate a description of the job, for example:

"Build a 4x3 metre hardwood deck with stairs"

QuoteMate returns a materials list with estimated quantities, suggested labour hours, and the items grouped into sensible work sections. You then review, adjust quantities, swap items, and fetch prices.

What the AI does and doesn't do

  • It suggests — materials, quantities, and labour hours based on your description.
  • You decide — every line is editable. Change anything that doesn't match how you do the job.
  • Treat AI quantities as a fast first draft, not gospel. Check them against the real job before you send.

AI material and title generation is a Pro feature (included in your 14-day trial). On the Free plan you can still build quotes manually with live pricing.

About the AI

AI suggestions are generated by QuoteMate's AI service. Job descriptions may be processed by third-party AI services to produce suggestions; no personal or banking details are sent. See Data security and privacy.
