AI Quote Agent for Trades
The AI Quote Agent for Trades is a conversational AI system that handles incoming service inquiries, gathers detailed job requirements through natural dialogue, and produces accurate estimates without manual intervention. Built specifically for plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, and general contractors, it captures every lead around the clock—qualified and ready for your team.
Your business stops losing quotes to slow response times. Customers get answers in minutes instead of waiting for callbacks. Your team spends their time closing deals and managing jobs, not writing estimates.
What it does
The agent answers incoming calls and messages, asks targeted questions about job location, scope, materials, and complexity, and documents responses in your system. It applies your pricing rules, labor rates, and service parameters in real time to generate site-specific estimates. When the scope is unclear, the agent knows when to escalate to a human estimator. Every interaction is logged and searchable, creating a record that your team uses to close deals or manage follow-ups.

Integrations
The AI Quote Agent integrates with leading trade software ecosystems: CRM platforms like HubSpot and Pipedrive, scheduling and dispatch tools such as ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro, accounting systems like QuickBooks, and communication channels including Twilio for phone and SMS. The agent can also connect to custom databases to pull your labor rates, material costs, and service pricing on demand, ensuring every estimate reflects your current business rules and margins.
Who it's for
This agent is built for trade service business owners and operations managers who handle consistent intake: plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, general contractors, roofers, and any field service business that quotes jobs before dispatch. You're the right fit if you're losing leads to slow response, your estimators spend more time answering routine questions than closing deals, or you're growing faster than your team can scale. It's ideal when you have documented pricing logic and repeatable service categories that the agent can learn and apply.
Frequently asked questions
Will the AI agent replace my estimators?
No. The agent handles initial intake, qualification, and routine estimates so your estimators focus on complex jobs, client relationships, and closing. For most trades, 60–70% of inquiries are straightforward enough for the agent to quote. Your team handles the rest and all final negotiations.
How long does it take to train the agent on my pricing?
Typically 1–2 weeks. You document your labor rates, material costs, service multipliers, and any rules (travel fees, minimums, seasonal adjustments). Our team configures the agent with your data, then you test and refine. Most businesses go live within 15 days.
What happens if a customer asks about something outside my service area?
The agent detects out-of-area requests and politely explains your service boundary, then offers to log their information for referral or future coverage. No time is wasted on unqualified leads.
Can the agent handle complex jobs or custom requests?
The agent is designed to recognize when a job is too complex or unique for an automated estimate. It asks clarifying questions and then routes the lead to your team with full context, flagging it as 'needs specialist review' so they prioritize it correctly.
How does the agent talk to customers? Does it sound robotic?
The agent uses natural, conversational language—not scripted or robotic. It adapts tone based on context (emergency vs. routine) and can discuss trade-specific details like HVAC BTU requirements or electrical panel upgrades. Customers usually don't realize they're talking to AI.
What if my pricing changes seasonally or by location?
The agent supports regional pricing, seasonal multipliers, and time-based adjustments. You update your pricing rules in the backend, and the agent applies them automatically to all new estimates. No reconfiguration needed.
How do I know what leads the agent missed or declined?
Every conversation is logged and searchable. You see a dashboard of estimates issued, leads escalated to your team, and out-of-scope requests. This data helps you refine the agent's logic and identify market opportunities your team may have missed.
Does the agent work with my existing CRM or scheduling software?
Yes. The agent integrates with ServiceTitan, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Housecall Pro, and other major platforms. If you use custom software, our team can build a connector. Qualified leads sync automatically so your team sees them in the tool they already use.
