Speak Chinese on site. Quote in professional English.

The tax on quoting in your second language

For a lot of immigrant tradies, admin isn't slow because the trade knowledge is missing — it's slow because every quote means composing formal English. The trade words come out in English anyway (“splashback”, “rough-in”, “GST”), the rest comes faster in Chinese, and no form field accepts both. So quotes go out late or thin, and late, thin quotes lose to worse tradies with better paperwork. That's the real cost: not embarrassment, money.

Talk the way you actually talk

There's no language toggle to set. Say the note in English, in Chinese, or switching mid-sentence the way site conversations really go:

The price is the one you said — $680 plus GST becomes $748 inc. GST, no invented numbers. Prices come from the user and stay editable. Timmy structures the work and wording; it does not invent amounts. The scope you described in a mix of Chinese and trade English comes out as line items an English-speaking customer reads without noticing anything unusual, because there's nothing unusual to notice. It's just a professional quote.

You're still the one who checks it

Generated documents are drafts to review — not legal, accounting or tax advice. How the review-first design works — and why it's the whole point — is covered in human-reviewed AI.

Where it pays off most

The splashback quote is the obvious case, but the same capture runs through the paperwork that usually slips when English composition is the bottleneck:

• Mid-job extras. The customer adds work, you agree in whichever language the conversation happens, and the variation draft comes out in English — written down before it's forgotten, which is where the money is.
• Chasing invoices. Explain the situation in Chinese; the payment follow-up your customer receives is polite, firm, professional English.
• Plain site notes. Access details, customer-supplied fixtures, things you told them wouldn't work — captured as job notes on the right job, in whatever mix you spoke them.

What's supported today

Input: English, Chinese, or mixed English-and-Chinese — spoken or typed. Output: customer-facing documents in professional English. That's the honest, released scope; other input languages aren't available yet, and customers can't yet receive documents in Chinese. It's the same job-aware record behind voice to quote, whichever language the note arrived in.
