Type the job. See the proposal.
No account, no card. Write it the way you'd text it. What comes out is your words, cleaned up, laid out the way your customer will see it.
How to get a good proposal out of it
- One line per thing you will do. "Replace 50-gallon gas water heater. Haul off old unit. New expansion tank. Pull permit." Each line becomes a scope item.
- Say what is not included. "Does not include drywall repair." It goes on the proposal so it never comes back as an argument.
- Give it a price and a timeline. The total and "1 day" or "week of the 20th" are the two things a customer looks for first.
- Shorthand is fine. repl, w/o, sqft, lf, ext, int, cust, incl are all understood and written out.
What it will not do
It will not invent scope, pad the price, add a warranty you did not offer, or write fine print. Every word on the proposal is a word you typed, cleaned up. If it ever says something you did not say, that is a bug and we want to hear about it.
Questions
What does the generator do with what I type?
It fixes spelling, expands shorthand like repl and 50gal, and lays your notes out as a proposal with a scope list, the price, the timeline, and the payment terms. It does not add work, materials, warranties, or fine print you did not type.
Do I need an account?
No. Type a job and see the proposal. An account is only needed to send it to a customer, collect a signature, or take a deposit, and the first 30 days of that are free with no card.
What should I put in the job box?
What you would text the customer: the work, the parts, the price, and how long. "repl 50 gal gas water heater, haul off old, new expansion tank, permit incl, $2,400, 1 day" is plenty.
Can I use it for any trade?
Yes. Plumbing, electrical, roofing, HVAC, painting, landscaping, flooring, concrete, carpentry, fencing, handyman, remodels, and more. The layout is the same; the words are yours.
Is this the same writer as in the app?
Yes. The app adds your company name, license, logo and photos, sends it by text or email, records the signature, collects the deposit, and follows up for you.
