- intelligent features need process context
- people still review and decide
- the strongest value is in documents, photos, data and repeatable drafts
A separate chat quickly becomes too general
Without context, a chat does not know the client, project, pricebook, documents, history or user decisions.
More value appears when the feature works exactly where the task happens: in an estimate, ticket, defect photo, invoice or customer response.
The best uses are practical
A system can read invoices, describe field photos, suggest estimate items, draft a message or highlight missing information.
Good software does not automate blindly. It shows a suggestion that a person can review, correct and approve.
Company data makes the difference
Pricebooks, categories, common items and past decisions make suggestions more relevant.
That turns intelligent software into part of the working tool, not just a visual effect.
