Setup included in your plan. ## About this agent Where it came from Ships in the FieldCamp agent marketplace — the heavyweight drafter for shops whose job history already knows what things cost. Your past jobs are your best estimator: somewhere in last year's history is almost exactly this job, with the real quantities and the price that won. Experienced estimators carry that history in their heads — which is why estimates bottleneck on experienced estimators. This drafter carries it in the database. For each new request it searches your completed jobs for the closest matches, reads what they actually took, and builds the estimate from evidence: exact catalog names, quantities the history supports, your unit prices, a one-line description per item. The draft cites its precedents and waits in the approval queue — your judgment, applied to a draft that did its homework. ## What it actually does Trigger: Request created 1. 1 Analyzes the request`request_created` What's being asked, in the customer's words — service, scale, and any specifics. 2. 2 Finds the precedents`search_similar_jobs` Your closest completed jobs — what they actually took in items, quantities, and hours. 3. 3 Builds evidence-based line items`build_line_items` Exact catalog names, quantities from history, your unit prices, one-line descriptions. 4. 4 Drafts behind approval`create_estimate` The full estimate waits in your queue, precedents cited — approve, adjust, send. What you get Detailed estimates drafted from your own job history — precedents cited, approval-gated, same-day by default. ## A run, as you’d see it Agent runs land on a timeline — what fired, what the agent found, and the action waiting for a human. This is that screen.

[HVAC](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/hvac/) Replacement quotes pull unit specs from the equipment history into good-better-best tiers. [Plumbing](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/plumbers/) Repair-versus-replace precedents both surface, priced, when history shows the fork. ## Questions, answered ### What does it need from my job history to work well? Some volume of completed jobs with line items — six months of FieldCamp history is plenty; migrated history works too. Below that, it leans on your price book and flags lower confidence honestly. ### Will two similar requests get identical estimates? Similar, not identical — each draft re-derives from the request's specifics and the closest precedents. Consistency is the point: your pricing stops depending on who drafted and how tired they were. ### Can it send the estimate to the customer? Only after your approval — creation is gated in the template. One tap from your phone approves and sends, which is why same-day survives busy weeks.
