Update: QuoteDesk now has a chat front door.
Some clients would rather ask than fill in a form. So I put an AI agent in front of QuoteDesk (built on Agentplace) that handles the first part in conversation:
• One question at a time, with an itemized estimate from the same price rules ($246.50 for a deep clean every 2 weeks with oven, the same figure QuoteDesk computes).
• "Two cats, fourth-floor walk-up" written down for the crew.
• No invented answers: insurance and same-day requests go to the team by email, and no slot is ever confirmed in chat.
The last step is one button, "Get my exact quote", which opens QuoteDesk. That's where the price is locked on the server, the quote is emailed, and the single 24h follow-up takes over.
Try both:
QuoteDesk: maple-mop-quote.base44.app
"No slot is ever confirmed in chat" and no invented answers on insurance — those two refusals are exactly why I'd trust this in front of real clients. The estimate coming from the same price rules QuoteDesk itself uses matters too: the chat can't drift from the actual quote. And...
Thanks, that's exactly the bar I set for it. One honest note on drift: today the agent holds its own copy of the price rules, so if the owner changes prices in QuoteDesk, the agent has to be updated too. The next step is to have it read the live price list through an API, so the two can't disagree.

QuoteDesk: instant quotes for a cleaning company, and the follow-ups nobody has time to send.
A home cleaning business loses jobs in two places: quotes that take a day to come back, and open quotes nobody chases. QuoteDesk handles both for Maple & Mop, a demo company.
What runs on its own:
• Priced on the server. The client sees a live, itemized price; the saved total is recomputed from the owner's price list, never trusted from the browser, in integer cents.
• The quote is emailed the second it is saved, with a link to book or pick another slot.
• One follow-up, never two: an hourly job nudges quotes still open after 24 hours, stamps them so it can't fire twice, and skips anyone who booked.
• A day-before reminder for every booked cleaning, also sent once.
• AI reads the client's notes: "two cats, fourth-floor walk-up" becomes Pets and Stairs flags plus 30 extra minutes for the crew.
• Owner dashboard: quotes today, booking rate, expected revenue, bookings after a follow-up, a 7-day schedule and an email timeline per quote.
Owner actions require the Base44 admin login, checked on the server. Judges get a read-only demo view with masked emails: Owner login, then View the demo dashboard.
Oh, it's that time of the year again, eh? @Base44 💯
