Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a web-based cost estimation tool and wanted to share the current version while I explore where I can take it next.

The current calculator guides users through a few simple inputs and generates an estimate based on things like the type and amount of items, access conditions, and timing.

What I’m interested in now is turning this from a traditional calculator into a more intelligent SaaS workflow.

For example, instead of requiring users to manually work through every field, I’m experimenting with letting them describe what they need in natural language. An AI layer could extract the relevant information and convert it into structured inputs, while the core estimation logic remains deterministic.

I’m also exploring ideas such as:

• AI-assisted estimate generation
• natural-language input
• recommendations based on user requirements
• comparing different scenarios
• saving estimates and project history

Current version:

I’d love feedback from other developers on the architecture and UX. In particular, would you keep AI mainly responsible for interpreting user input and recommendations, while keeping the actual calculation engine deterministic?
