How AI quote from photos works in Gaffer
AI reads the images
Gaffer looks at your photos, works out the likely scope and materials, and turns them into structured quote line items rather than a vague blob of text.
Priced from your own rates
The draft pulls in your saved labour rates, materials and quote templates wherever it can, so the numbers reflect how you price — not a generic guess.
Add a note for context
Type a quick line like "full rewire, two-bed terrace, customer wants spotlights" and the AI factors it into the draft alongside the photos.
Review and edit every line
Nothing goes out without your say-so. Adjust quantities, swap items, change prices and tidy the wording — the draft is a starting point, the send is your decision.
Send before you leave
Push the finished quote to the customer from your phone, branded and itemised, with online accept and pay-deposit built in to win the job faster.

Common questions about AI quoting
How does Gaffer turn photos into a quote?
You photograph the job on site and add a short note if you like. Gaffer's AI reads the images, identifies the likely work and materials, and drafts an itemised quote with line items and prices for you to review.
Will the AI quote be accurate to my prices?
The draft uses your saved rates, materials and quote templates wherever it can, so it reflects how you price. Every line is fully editable before you send, so the final figure is always your call.
Does it work on the mobile app and offline?
Yes. You can capture photos in the offline-first Android app (iOS coming soon) with no signal. The AI draft is generated when you have a connection, and the quote then sends straight from your phone.
Is AI quoting included, and can I try it free?
AI quote from photos is part of the Gaffer platform with no separate add-on. You can try it on the 14-day free trial with no credit card on web and Android (iOS coming soon).
