I'm building an AI quote generator for tradespeople — is this actually a problem worth solving?

            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. 🙏
