AI quote request automation
Turn quote requests into ready-to-send estimates, without the back-and-forth
AI quote request automation collects the details a job needs, applies your rate card, and drafts a structured estimate for you to review. Less time chasing information, faster quotes out the door, and a higher chance of winning the work.

Can AI handle quote requests for my business?
Yes, up to the point of a number. An AI agent can take the request, ask the questions you would ask, and hand your team a brief that is ready to price — but it does not produce a binding price.

Your customers are already asking AI
These are the kinds of prompts people now type into an AI assistant — the demand this workflow is built to serve.
“get me a price estimate for a fence installation”
“how much would it cost to repaint my house”
“I need a quote for landscaping work”
“compare quotes for a new roof in my area”
So how does a customer's AI find this at all?
Automated quoting needs requests to work on. Make your services and quote intake available to AI, so when a buyer asks their assistant for a price or an estimate on the work you do, AI can bring the request to you — the way you want it captured.
The things that decide a price are the things you would never print on a price list — how you scope a job, which details move the number and by how much, the work you quote high because you would rather not take it, and the work you will not quote at all.
Fugentic publishes what you describe as an MCP server — the thing that lets an AI assistant ask your business a question and get a real answer back — and registers it, so an agent finder, the index an assistant checks to see what is available, can pick it up.

A scoped brief, ready to pricereaches you
A buyer asking their assistant who can price a new roof gets a real account of the work you do and what moves the number — and a scoped request lands with you, instead of a one-line “how much?” you chase for a week.
What AI can and cannot do here today
What AI can do today
- It can explain what work you take on, how you scope it, and what pushes a price up or down.
- It can ask the questions you would ask — dimensions, materials, access, deadlines — so the request arrives complete.
- It can hand your team a scoped brief that is ready to price, with the customer’s answers attached.
What it cannot do yet
- It cannot give a binding price. Real pricing against live data needs a server type the platform does not host yet.
- It cannot win the job. It gets you to a quote you can send; the decision stays with you.
How the quote automation workflow works
- 1
A prospect describes the job
A prospect describes the scope of work they need priced, by email or web form.
- 2
Collect missing details
The agent asks for anything needed to price the job accurately — dimensions, materials, access, deadlines.
- 3
Draft the quote
Using your rate card in Google Sheets and QuickBooks estimates, the agent drafts a structured quote for your review.
- 4
Send after approval
Once you approve, the quote is emailed to the customer — consistent, professional, and fast.
Will AI one day quote, book and sell for you?
Not yet — and not for a while. Everything below needs server types we hope to build, and an AI ecosystem that is still forming. It is where this is going, not what you sign up for today.
- 1
Quoting against live data
Not available todayOne day your estimator could put a real number in front of the customer while they are still describing the job — your current material prices, your margins, your rules about access and disposal, applied on the spot instead of on your evening.
- 2
Taking the booking
Not available todayIt could hold the date it has quoted for, so a yes does not start a fresh round of finding a week that suits everybody.
- 3
Selling and closing
Not available todayFurther out, accepting the quote could be the whole thing: signed, deposit taken, in your schedule, without a single follow-up email.
Where this agent fits
Few businesses need only one agent. Different moments of the same customer journey want different help — and every one of them is made available to AI the same way.

Frequently asked questions
No — by default it drafts the quote and waits for your approval. You stay in control of pricing and what goes out.
Yes. It reads your rate card from a Google Sheet and can build estimates in QuickBooks, so quotes reflect your real prices.
No. Consultants and other service businesses that quote per project use the same workflow — just adapt the questions and rate card.
Because a price is a commitment. The agent can scope the job and draft against the rate card you have described, but it cannot look up current costs or bind you to a number — so the quote reaches you ready to check, and goes out when you approve it.
