I'm building an AI quote generator for tradespeople — is this actually a problem worth solving?
Source: Dev.to
Hey dev.to! 👋
I’m Martin, a 2nd year Computer Engineering student from Croatia (FERIT university).
I’m working on a side project — an AI tool that helps contractors and tradespeople generate professional quotes and invoices in 30 seconds. You just enter the job type, client name, and materials — the AI handles the rest.
The problem I’m trying to solve:
Most tradespeople (plumbers, electricians, tilers, painters) spend 1-3 hours per week on paperwork — quotes, invoices, follow-ups. They’re experts at their craft but hate the admin side.
My questions for you:
Do you know any tradespeople who struggle with this?
Is €19/month a reasonable price for something like this?
Would you use it yourself for any freelance work?
No landing page yet, no product to sell — just validating before I build.
Honest feedback only, even if it’s brutal. 🙏
