AI voice quoting: speak the job, get an itemised electrical quote

13 August 2026 · 5 min read · robot® Plan

The fastest way to describe an electrical job has always been out loud. "Supply and install sixteen downlights, four two-gang dimmers, five cameras with a new NVR, tidy the switchboard." Ten seconds. The slow part was always what came after — an evening turning those ten seconds into an itemised quote.

AI voice quoting deletes the evening. In robot® Quote you say the job the way you'd say it to your apprentice, and the AI writes the quote: itemised into materials and labour, quantities counted, priced from your pricing library at your rates, sections and GST handled.

How it actually works

  • You talk. In the ute after the walkthrough, or standing in the garage with the customer. Ramble is fine — "oh and add two outdoor GPOs on the deck" mid-sentence gets picked up.
  • It drafts. Every item is matched against your pricing library first, so a "downlight" is your downlight at your sell price, not a guess. Anything it can't match is flagged, not invented.
  • You review and send. The draft is editable like any quote — reorder lines, tweak quantities, add a discount — then it goes out as a live link the customer can accept on their phone.

Why voice beats forms on real jobs

Quoting apps fail in the field because thumbs and dropdowns lose to a customer standing next to you. Voice matches how the job is already in your head: room by room, in trade shorthand. The AI's job is translation — shorthand in, professional itemised document out. The quotes that used to take an evening go out before you've left the street, and the first professional quote in sets the anchor.
