AI Bidding & Ask AI — Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI bid generation work in Excavation Expert?

You describe the project in a chat — scope, location, schedule, site conditions — and Bid AI drafts line items using your equipment rates, crew pay, and material library. You review quantities, markup, and contingency, then export a branded PDF or send the bid through the customer portal for approval.

What is Ask AI?

Ask AI is a conversational assistant that answers questions about your live business data — outstanding bids, crew hours logged, equipment status, haul activity, project margin. It pulls from your actual records, not generic industry data. Available to Owners, Managers, and Bookkeepers on all plans including Free.

Is my bid and project data used to train AI models?

No. Your project, customer, and pricing data stays within your company account. We never share or use it to train public AI models. AI requests run through enterprise model providers under strict data-privacy terms.

How many AI bids can I generate per month?

Monthly AI bid generation limits depend on your plan tier. The Free plan includes Ask AI but not Bid AI. Paid plans include monthly Bid AI allowances that scale with the tier — see the pricing page for current limits.

Does AI bidding work for excavation and concrete contractors?

Yes — the platform is built specifically for excavation, site work, concrete, and demolition contractors. Bid AI uses productivity assumptions tuned for dirt work and concrete pours (yards per hour, sq ft per finisher-day) rather than generic commercial building estimates.
