A quote starts with the client's question. Paste that question into a new quote and six AI Colleagues write a first version: summary, scope, work and hours, risks, planning and why you. Everything they write is a proposal: you accept, adjust or reject. Then you tune the hours in the lines, change something in one sentence, and make the quote final. A final quote is fixed; you keep working in a copy.

Step 1 / 13

Open Governance from the portal

In the portal, click your organisation's name and choose Governance, then Open Governance (the owner switches it on there). Governance opens in the same tab. Click Sign in through the portal: Governance keeps no passwords, the portal knows you already and sends you back. You start at My work.

Step 2 / 13

Create a client

Click Quotes on the left and choose Overview. The building icon next to New quote makes a client: a name is enough, city and Chamber of Commerce number help later in the quote.

Step 3 / 13

Start a new quote

Point at the client and click the plus: a new quote opens in a tab of its own. Give it a title at the top. Then you choose how to start: yourself, with an empty quote, or with the AI team. On the right the inspector works out the price while you work.

  1. Click New quote for this client
Start a new quote · Click New quote for this client
  1. In Title, type Repairs desk with an AI Colleague
Start a new quote · In Title, type Repairs desk with an AI Colleague
Start a new quote · How would you like to start? The AI team, or yourself.
Step 4 / 13

Let the AI team write a first version

Paste the client's question, for example the e-mail or the notes of the meeting, and click Let the AI team start. Six AI Colleagues work one after another, each from their own role: the product owner (why and what), the architect (how), the estimator (work and hours), the UX designer (moments with the client), quality (when is it done) and the deal lead (why you). In the inspector on the right you see them work.

  1. In The client's question, type Lindehof Housing wants tenants to report repairs day and night through an AI Colleague on the website. A request must be complete (category, location, photo) and urgent ones must be passed on at once. Work orders go to the property system; the team lead approves large repairs.

Step 5 / 13

Go through a proposal and accept it

The first proposal is the product owner's summary. Green with a plus is new, red with a minus goes away. Click Accept: the text is in the quote. With Adjust and accept you change it first; every decision can be undone.

  1. Click Accept
Go through a proposal and accept it · Click Accept
Go through a proposal and accept it · The summary is in the quote.
Step 6 / 13

Reject what you do not want

Under Why InnTelligence the deal lead writes reasons. If they are not right yet, click Reject: the part stays empty and you write it yourself later. The decision is recorded, with who and when.

  1. Click Reject
Reject what you do not want · Click Reject
Reject what you do not want · No proposal left under Why InnTelligence; the part is still empty.
Step 7 / 13

Accept the rest per role

When you trust a role, you take all of its proposals at once: in the inspector each role has Accept all from this role. Then every proposal is handled and the price is at the top right.

  1. Click Accept all from this role
Accept the rest per role · Click Accept all from this role
Accept the rest per role · All proposals have been handled.
Accept the rest per role · The price offered, worked out from the lines and the rates.
Step 8 / 13

Tune the hours of a line

Under Work and hours each line has the work, the role and the hours minimum, likely and maximum. It works like a spreadsheet: double-click a cell, type the hours (12, 12.5 or 1h30) and press Enter. The price follows at once. Minimum must be below likely, and likely below maximum.

  1. Click Likely, line 1
Tune the hours of a line · Click Likely, line 1
  1. In Likely, type 8
Tune the hours of a line · In Likely, type 8
Tune the hours of a line · 8 hours in the cell; Enter writes it.
Step 9 / 13

Change something in one sentence

Above the parts is a bar where you change the quote in one sentence, for example the hours of a line and until when the quote is valid. Click Make a proposal: first you see what it was and what it becomes. Only Apply changes the quote.

  1. In Change in one sentence, type set the connection property management system to 20 hours and valid until 31 December
Change something in one sentence · In Change in one sentence, type set the connection property management system to 20 hours and valid until 31 December
