Use AI to review your written quotes against actual job photos to catch missing scope items before you send.

Before you send a quote, paste it into ChatGPT along with a description of what you saw on site—or even better, descriptions of your site photos. Ask AI to cross-check whether your quote actually covers everything visible in the pictures or mentioned in your notes. This catches the stuff you forgot to price: that outdated panel that needs replacing, the lack of grounding you noticed, the extra conduit runs because walls aren't where the blueprint said. AI acts like a second set of eyes comparing what you wrote versus what you actually encountered. This is especially powerful for bigger jobs where you took 10+ photos and scribbled notes. You're not asking AI to write the quote—you already did that. You're asking it to spot the gaps between what you saw and what you remembered to include. It's like having a senior electrician review your quote before it goes out, catching missed labour, materials, or scope creep that would cost you money later. Use this every time before sending quotes over $1,000 or for jobs with lots of unknowns. It takes three minutes and can save you from underpricing a job by hundreds of dollars or having awkward conversations later about 'extras' that should've been in the original scope.
