How the AI-Assisted Moving Estimate Works

AI helps with input; policy code controls the price.

Direct answer

The language model extracts an editable draft inventory, addresses, home-size hints, packing choices, access details, and heavy-item notes. It does not choose the crew rate or calculate the price. The backend applies published benchmarks and company policy.

Planning information only. Confirm route, inventory, access, written moving documents, and applicable rules before booking.

Text and microphone input feed the same editable description

A local parser remains available when the AI provider is unavailable

Pricing is deterministic and itemized

What the language model may extract

  • Furniture and quantities
  • Pickup and destination text
  • Home-size hints
  • Packing preference
  • Stairs or elevator hints
  • Explicit heavy-item information

What the language model cannot decide

  • Hourly crew rate
  • Crew-size policy
  • Time benchmarks
  • Travel treatment
  • Overtime math
  • Fees or material prices

Fallback and confirmation

If the AI key is missing or the provider is unavailable, a local parser still recognizes common moving descriptions. Every detected item remains visible and editable before the full estimate is calculated.

Frequently asked questions

Does the website record my voice?

The microphone button uses supported browser speech recognition to place recognized words into the description field. The application does not intentionally upload an audio recording through that flow.

Can AI change the published prices?

No. Crew, time, rates, fees, and materials are calculated by backend policy code using the submitted structured data.
