QUOTES
Create quotes with AI – calculated exactly, approved by you
Take the enquiry, clarify open questions, calculate the quote after the site visit: DENKRAUM AI handles the writing and the maths. The quote assistant picks verified building blocks from your company handbook and calculates every line item with the calculator. Before anything goes out, you check line items and totals.
Less paperwork, traceable line items
Many quotes get written in the evening at the desk: gathering notes from the site visit, copying line items from older quotes, looking up prices and doing the sums. DENKRAUM AI takes this work off your hands – with your prices, your rules and your approval.
What the quote assistant takes care of
- Takes customer enquiries from an email, a form or a call note; missing details become visible.
- Puts line items together from verified building blocks in your company handbook.
- Calculates every line item with your price list and costing rules: time times hourly rate plus material, chosen materials with a mark-up.
- A calculation sheet shows every step of the calculation, with the labour and material share.
- Contingency items, assumptions and exclusions are stated in the quote.
- A note reminds you while building blocks still contain starting values.
- Every job sits in the pipeline – from enquiry to confirmation.

The course “From enquiry to quote – with AI” shows the whole process in nine short videos, using a plumbing and heating business as the example: taking enquiries, clarifying questions, calculating quotes exactly and following up on open cases.
Transcript
Your measurements become a quote – calculated exactly. After the site visit, you give the “Quote from measurements” workflow your notes: the quantities, the materials Mr Winkler has chosen and what needs checking during the work. The Quote assistant picks the matching building blocks and works out every item with the calculator: time times hourly rate plus material – chosen materials with a 15 percent mark-up. Before anything goes out, you check the items and totals. The calculation sheet shows how every figure is calculated – and a note reminds you while the blocks are still starting values. After your approval, the draft is filed in the operations manual – with labour and materials shown separately, contingency items and assumptions. Ready to send.
How it works
- The enquiry comes in through the inbox, or you type it into the chat.
- After the site visit, you note the quantities, chosen materials and points to check.
- The “Quote from measurements” workflow picks the building blocks and calculates line items and totals.
- You check and approve; the draft is then filed in the company handbook, ready to send.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the quote assistant for?+
For businesses that put quotes together from recurring services – in the trades or among service providers, for example. The “Trade business” template comes with building blocks, workflows and the pipeline from enquiry to order.
Does the AI send quotes by itself?+
No. The AI prepares and calculates; you check line items and totals and approve. Only then does a quote go out.
Where do prices and hourly rates come from?+
From your company handbook: you maintain price lists, hourly rates and costing rules there once, and the assistant calculates with them. As long as starting values remain, the quote points this out.
