It quotes ranges from your menu. Firm numbers come after the walk because ceiling type, conduit requirement, patch panel location, and any building riser coordination shift the bid. Ranges usually land within 10 percent of the final bid because the scoping questions in chat do real work. The bot is explicit that the chat number is a starting range, which is the right tone for a $20,000 cabling bid where the PM is still benchmarking.

Yes. If your spec sheets live on the site, SleekAI uses them. CMP versus CMR pricing differs roughly 20 to 30 percent, and the bot reflects that in the range. Commercial buildings with plenum return ceilings require CMP, and the bot surfaces that automatically when the customer mentions an office or commercial space. Residential CMR or CM rated cable comes up only when the scope is clearly residential.

Yes. Single mode versus multimode, LC versus SC connectors, riser versus plenum sheath, and run length all enter the range. A short multimode patch between two adjacent IDFs prices differently than a 500 foot single mode backhaul through a building riser. The bot asks the right questions before quoting and frames riser coordination (building fees, after-hours work) honestly so the PM isn't surprised at bid time.

Yes. If your bids include Fluke certification per drop, the bot mentions the line item and its cost (typically $5 to $15 per drop on top of install). PMs who need a certification report for their warranty or insurance know upfront, and PMs running a less critical install get the option to skip and save the line item. The conversation makes the trade-off clear instead of burying it in the proposal.

Yes. Multibot scopes each bot to its own pricing, license info, BICSI references, and hours. A cabling contractor with offices in two metros keeps each bot scoped to the right jurisdiction, the right inspector relationship, and the right calendar. Display conditions in the SleekAI wizard route customers based on URL pattern or selected service area.

Into the SleekAI conversation log in WordPress, tied to the customer record with model name, token usage, and the page URL the chat started on. The estimator opens the walk appointment and sees the drop count, cable category, ceiling type, patch panel scope, and fiber backhaul scope the PM described, which makes the walk a 45 minute confirmation rather than two hours of cold scoping.

Yes. If the office build-out includes AV rooms or IP camera prewires, the bot mentions that the same crew can handle the low voltage overlap (HDMI runs, ceiling speakers, IP camera drops) if your services include them. Bundling cabling, AV, and security drops in one bid often saves the GC a coordination headache, and the bot mentions that bundle discount if your pricing includes one.

If your shop handles both, a separate residential bot scoped to retrofit pricing, fishing through finished walls, and the lighter take-off keeps the office conversation clean. Multibot allows commercial and residential conversations to live on the same site with different specs, different cable defaults, and different lead time expectations. Residential leads route to the residential bot via URL pattern or a selector on the site.
