AI proposal drafter
Cover letter + scope of work + install notes generated from the bid contents. First draft in 30 seconds. Estimator polishes from a complete starting point — never a blank page.
AI ASSISTANCE
AI drafts the proposal. The estimator ships it.
The fastest first draft you've ever shipped — but nothing reaches the customer until you've reviewed it. That's the whole rule.

SIX WAYS AI HELPS — ZERO TIMES IT SHIPS WITHOUT YOU
Drafts, suggestions, sanity checks.
+
Combo suggester
Recommends companion products from what's already in the bid: the missing wire run for the speaker, the right mount for the panel, the wall plate for the receptacle. Catches the gap before the customer does.
⏱
Labor sanity check
Flags rooms where labor hours look off — too high or too low — for the items selected. Cuts under-quoted jobs at the source.
△
Good / Better / Best
Generates tier options for any line item. Structured upsell at close, not freeform negotiation in the parking lot.
⛨
Approval gate
Proposal export is blocked until AI-generated text is reviewed. No accidental “Dear [CUSTOMER]” leaving the building, ever.
↻
Regenerate per section
Don't like the cover letter? Regenerate just that section. The grid + line items stay locked — only the prose is touched.
THE APPROVAL GATE
The human is the load-bearing wall.
Every AI-generated string in BidGlory is marked as a draft. The export button on a proposal is disabled until a human clicks Approve on every drafted block. There is no "send anyway" option. No keyboard shortcut. No admin override.
We picked this rule before we shipped the first AI feature, and we'll defend it. The whole point of AI in a bid workspace is to compress the boring 90% so the estimator can spend their attention on the 10% that makes the difference — the choice of system, the tier strategy, the labor estimate. AI that auto-ships removes the estimator. That's not the trade we're making.
BYO LLM
Bring your own model. Or don't run AI at all.
BidGlory talks to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — point it at a cloud model (OpenAI, Anthropic via a proxy, Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter), a self-hosted Ollama or vLLM instance on your network, or nothing at all. The configuration is one URL and one key.
If no LLM is configured, the AI panels stay quiet and every other feature in the product works exactly the same. No degraded mode, no nag screens. AI is an additive.
Compliance note: customer data only leaves your perimeter if you point AI at an external provider. Self-host the model, your data stays on your network — full stop.
