Overview

Thought-Bot AI is built by a tradesperson for tradespeople.
Use the Chrome extension to streamline your entire service-job workflow: build polished quotes, estimate materials and labor, generate documents, schedule jobs, and handle client communications—all inside your browser.

At the heart of the extension is Instruct (your AI project & quote assistant) and a built-in Schedule to keep your days organized.

Core Workspace: Instruct (Instant Quote Builder)

Instruct is the main workspace where you run full projects from start to finish:

Enter client + job details

Generate AI-powered materials lists

Get labor pricing and job charges

Finalize totals, timeline, and profit

Create quote documents you can edit, export, and reuse

Launch Instruct from the sidebar, toolbar, or context menu whenever you’re ready to start or revisit a job.

Built-In Schedule

Stay on top of your jobs with a simple, job-focused schedule:

Add appointments and project slots with dates, times, and notes

Link schedule items to projects you’ve built in Instruct

See what’s booked and what’s open at a glance

Use it as your lightweight scheduling hub alongside email, maps, or job research tabs

The Schedule is designed for contractors—quick to update, easy to read, and tightly connected to your quotes and projects.

Key Features
Instruct – AI Quote & Project Builder

Quote Builder (Instruct): Input project details and generate a complete quote with material quantities, labor ranges, markups, and totals—ready to export as PDF or copy into other tools.

Materials & Cost Estimator: Automatically build itemized materials lists, labor estimates, and profit margins. Adjust on the fly without digging through spreadsheets.

One-Click Document Generation: Create proposals, quotes, invoices, contracts, and summaries using templates tailored for trades (painting, drywall, doors/windows, decking, remodeling, etc.).

Documents & Communication

Proofread Tool: Highlight text anywhere on a page to correct grammar, tighten wording, or change tone (casual, professional, work, family). Choose Replace to swap text in place or Replace & Copy to review before pasting.

Reply Tool: Select a client message, pick response mode (standard for detailed replies, basic for short responses), choose tone, and let Thought-Bot write a tailored answer without leaving the page.
