Draft custom equipment proposals with AI, for manufacturers

Custom printer proposals eat up late evenings when you would rather be on the shop floor. Hand the site details and equipment lists to AI, then review a clean proposal draft.

What to gather first

Your current printer model spec sheet
The contractor's site and project notes
Your standard pricing and delivery terms
One past proposal you liked

Which app

For this one, a plain AI chat window is enough. Open the chat, paste what you gathered, and type the message below.

How to do it

Paste the contractor's notes. Drop the job scope into the chat window. Add what the contractor plans to build, their reach needs, and their target start date. AI reads the job requirements.
Add your machine specs. Paste your gantry sizes, mix pump details, and training packages. AI compares the contractor's build size against your equipment limits. It flags which setup matches the job.
Ask for the draft. Send the prompt with your pricing rules and delivery windows. AI drafts an equipment proposal with machine specs, power requirements, and line-item costs. It leaves clear blanks for anything missing.
Read and fix the numbers. Check the power hookups, track lengths, and freight costs. Adjust the line items to match what you actually have in stock. You copy the text into your template and send it.

What to type first

Here are notes from a general contractor and my spec sheet for our concrete printers. Draft an equipment proposal for this job. Include machine specs, site prep notes, power needs, training, and standard delivery terms. Do not invent any discounts or promise build dates I did not list. Do not send anything to the client.

Change the words to match your business. AI follows what you say, so say what done looks like.

Before you trust it

Check that the print envelope matches the contractor's wall heights.
Verify every dollar figure against your current equipment price sheet.
Make sure the required electrical supply matches the jobsite power.

Try pasting contractor questions into AI to draft answers about mix designs and print speeds.
