QuoteCraft: an offline AI that turns messy client WhatsApps into instant quotations and scopes

Description and use

QuoteCraft lets freelancers instantly convert messy WhatsApp requests into structured quotations, preserving privacy and preventing scope creep.

Problem

Freelancers struggle to quickly convert informal client WhatsApp messages into structured quotations, risking delayed responses, scope creep, or lengthy manual drafting.

Outcome

Freelancers can respond within 15 seconds, avoid scope creep, and keep client data private by running the tool offline.

Workflow

• 1. Input the raw WhatsApp message into the web app
• 2. The local Llama 3.2 model parses the text and creates a deliverables table with estimated days and cost
• 3. The app auto‑generates an anti‑scope‑creep section listing exclusions
• 4. A pre‑formatted WhatsApp reply is produced and can be copied with one click
• 5. Optionally, the quotation can be printed or saved as PDF

Evidence

QuoteCraft turns messy client WhatsApp messages into an itemized quotation, a scope-of-work, and a ready-to-send WhatsApp reply in seconds.

Responding takes 30 to 60 minutes of tedious work… Translating messy thoughts into clear deliverables, estimating realistic days and pricing, setting milestones and advance deposit terms, setting boundaries against scope creep.
