QuoteCraft is an AI-powered quotation generator that simplifies the process of creating professional project quotations for freelancers and small development agencies. The tool takes natural-language client requirements and transforms them into structured quotations with key elements such as project overview, deliverables, estimated timeline, pricing breakdown, assumptions, and a downloadable PDF.
Developed using Python, Streamlit, Groq, Pandas, and ReportLab, QuoteCraft leverages the open-weight language model GPT-OSS-20B for AI processing. Users can customize the generated quotation, and the application recalculates the total whenever the pricing breakdown is modified. QuoteCraft's open innovation approach uses an accessible open-weight model, allowing developers to experiment and integrate AI without being tied to a single proprietary model provider.
Future features include customizable PDF templates, freelancer branding, saved client profiles, milestone-based estimates, invoice generation, and optional local model inference for data privacy.
