Show HN: ToolsAI – AI quotes for blue collar businesses (tools-ai-4yev.onrender.com)

3 points by kurrupttt ↗ HN
Hey HN, I built Tols AI over the weekend to help service providers (electricians, landscapers, plumbers, etc.) generate fast, professional job quotes.

Most pros type job scopes like:

“Replace 200A panel, 3 hours labor, surge protection, bond to code.” ToolsAI takes that and outputs:

A clean client-facing quote Labor + materials breakdown Estimated pricing Summary paragraph PDF download

It saves time, looks more professional, and helps small contractors close work faster.

First 3 quotes are on me :) Would love feedback from builders or anyone who's worked in field services, blue-collar SaaS, or productized workflows.

Built with GPT-4o, Flask, and raw frustration from watching people still quote in Notes app or Word templates

Thanks!

whats the point of having an AI do this? dont most providers like do break everything down themselves and quote after going on site?

overall the idea seems solid but idk if the blue collar industry will accept Ai so soon.

Appreciate your feedback! So, one thing about the blue collar industry specially in field services is that they wanna spend most amount time doing blue collar work and the least amount time doing admin stuff.

I showed this to a couple service providers (1 handyman, 1 electrician) and they loved it. So hopefully theres a big market there of people that would find this useful. Over time I can build more agentic features or even build this into an entire intelligent agentic CRM for the blue collar industry. Lets see where it goes :)
