Automated Quoting with AI — From Brief to Proposal in Minutes
See how Refront uses AI to generate accurate project quotes from a client brief. Historical data, scope analysis, and smart pricing in one flow.
Introduction
Quoting a project accurately takes experience, market knowledge, and time — often a couple of hours for a detailed proposal. Refront's AI accelerates this process by analysing the client brief, comparing it to your historical projects, and generating a detailed quote you can review and send in minutes.
Real-World Examples
AI-Analysed Client Brief
A client sends a project brief via the portal or email. Refront's AI extracts requirements, identifies similar past projects, and creates a scope breakdown with estimated hours per task. The system flags ambiguous requirements and suggests clarifying questions.
Why this works:
The AI catches scope items that might be overlooked during manual estimation, reducing the risk of under-quoting. Suggested clarifying questions help nail down requirements before commitment.
Market-Informed Pricing
Using your historical pricing data, team rates, and optional industry benchmarks, Refront suggests a competitive price range. You can adjust margins, apply discounts, or choose between fixed-price and T&M models.
Why this works:
Data-driven pricing removes guesswork and helps agencies find the sweet spot between competitive pricing and healthy margins.
Key Takeaways
- AI brief analysis catches overlooked scope items and reduces under-quoting risk.
- Historical data comparison ensures pricing is consistent and competitive.
- The entire quote process — from brief to sent proposal — takes minutes instead of hours.

Can I override the AI suggestions?
Of course. The AI provides a starting point — you have full control to adjust line items, hours, rates, and terms before sending.
Does it work for non-development projects?
