Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. AI drafts a quote from your site notes. Which part do you always write yourself?
A quote (the price you offer before the job) has two parts: what you'll do, and what it costs. AI is quick at the first part. It has no idea about the second. It doesn't know your supplier, today's prices or your labor rate, so any number it writes is invented.
It also fills gaps with confident lines, like "no permit needed". Only your local rules decide that.
A worked example
Your site notes: replace a leaking 50-gallon gas water heater in the attic, old unit drained.
Before and after
Switch between the AI draft quote and the one the plumber sent.
AI draft
Supply and fit 40-gallon tank. Labor: 6 hours. No permit needed. Total: $1,450.
Four fixes: the size from the notes, the hours and rate from you, the permit line from local rules, and the total from your own sums.
Your turn
Fill the gaps
Fill each gap in your quote request (the message you type to the AI).
