From RFQ email to priced quote draft

Under two minutes: a stair stringer drawing arrives by email, and a priced Outlook draft is ready for review. Nothing sends without human approval.

What you just saw

Governance by default

Signal rules filter inbound mail before any LLM cost. Quote drafts land in Outlook for review — nothing sends without approval.

Same mailbox your team already uses

The RFQ lands in Outlook. The reply is a draft in that mailbox — review, edit if needed, then send.

Priced line items, not a blank reply

The draft includes marks, quantities, and totals from the drawing and your commercial rules — ready for an estimator to verify.
