Quotes and estimates prepared by an AI agent, ready to approve

An Obrio AI agent receives the request, pulls out what matters, and builds a quote from your pricing — in minutes, ready to approve. You adjust, you approve, the agent sends. We're not selling you quoting software to configure yourself: we run the agent for you, and the final price is always your call.

Responding fast is winning the contract

In most trades, the first to come back with a clear quote starts a step ahead. A client asking for a price is comparing, and more often than not, they go with whoever answered before the others. Speed doesn't just win that one job — it earns you a reputation for being easy to deal with, which is how repeat contracts and referrals begin.

The trouble is that quoting is almost always done "on the side" — at night, between two job sites, once the day is over. The request sits in the inbox for two days, then three, and by then the client has already signed elsewhere. Building a quote fast isn't about talent — it's about time you don't have.

That's exactly the kind of work an AI agent does well: turning an incoming request into a structured quote, right away, so all you have to do is check it and send.

How the agent builds a quote in minutes

When a request comes in — by email or through a form — the agent reads it, extracts the key details (scope of work, quantities, address, deadline) and files it in the right place. Then it drafts a quote from your price grid, your internal rules and your past quotes.

You get a quote that's already costed out: labour, materials, travel, total. Not a blank page to fill, but a complete draft to review. What used to take an hour late at night comes down to a two-minute read.

The more past quotes the agent sees, the closer its drafts come to how you actually price. And when you're responding to a bid with required documents and tight deadlines, having a structured first draft in hand changes everything: you start from a solid base instead of a blank sheet, and you stop losing requests simply because there was no time to get to them.

You stay in control: nothing goes out without your approval

The agent proposes a price; it never sets one on its own. Every quote lands in your approval queue with the full breakdown. You approve, you edit an amount, or you decline — and only then does the quote go to the client.

That's deliberate. Price commits your margin and your reputation: it's a business decision, not a calculation to hand off blindly to a machine. The agent saves you the prep time; you keep the judgment. The agent prepares, you approve.

For construction, services and home maintenance

The need is the same anywhere work is priced by project. A contractor responding to a bid, a professional-services firm putting together a proposal, a maintenance company sending a price for a seasonal contract: in every case, the speed and consistency of your quotes are the difference between a full order book and a patchy one.

At Alix Services, a home-maintenance company, our agents are used to send quotes the same day a request comes in, instead of letting the estimate sit. Want the full picture for a sector? See our home services page.

Obrio vs quoting software you configure yourself

There's good quoting software out there. The catch is that it leaves you the real work: building the templates, entering the price grid, connecting the tools, maintaining all of it, and above all operating the machine every day. You pay a subscription for a tool you still have to run yourself.

Obrio takes the other end of the problem. We configure the agent to your prices and rules, connect it to your systems, run it and improve it. You don't manage one more piece of software: you receive quotes that are ready to approve. That's the difference between buying a tool and hiring an AI colleague.

Law 25 compliant

Your prices, your margins and your client data stay your information. Obrio's agents are built to respect Quebec's Law 25: data hosted in Canada, an auditable log of every action, and human approval before anything goes out. We reduce risk instead of adding to it.

The same principle — the agent prepares, you approve — applies to your payment reminders and invoicing and your employee schedules and shifts.
