How it works

Turn spoken job site walkthroughs into itemized, client-ready estimates in minutes. Explore how Trade Quote Sidekick eliminates late-night paperwork and helps trade contractors close bids right on the spot.

1. Walk the site and speak

Simply tap record on your phone and talk naturally as you walk the property. Mention dimensions, materials, and specific tasks—like 12x16 pressure-treated deck build, four posts set in concrete, top railing on three sides. Our rugged mobile interface is designed for bright sunlight and easy outdoor use.

2. AI creates your itemized draft

Our integrated Whisper AI converts your voice recording into structured line items instantly. It breaks down lumber, hardware, and labor steps, applying regional market rates automatically. You can quickly adjust profit margins, overhead, and required down payments before finalizing.

3. Send PDFs and collect deposits

Generate a polished, branded PDF quote with a single tap and send it straight to your client via text or email. With built-in Stripe payment links, homeowners can approve the estimate and pay their deposit immediately before you even leave their driveway.
