AI-Powered Cost Estimation Platform
An AI-assisted application designed to support cost estimation through software workflows and administrative interfaces.
AI-assisted estimation through software workflows
Context
The problem it addresses
This application supports cost estimation by combining an AI-assisted capability with conventional software: user-facing features, API integrations, stored data and administrative interfaces.
Purpose
Support cost estimation through an application with administrative control.

Where the engineering sits
- Integrations
- Connecting the application to the services it depends on through APIs.
- Administration
- Interfaces that let administrators manage the system.
- Data
- Database functionality supporting the application.
- Deployment
- Workflows for releasing the application.

Perspective
Engineering perspective
- AI-assisted features still depend on ordinary engineering: clear interfaces, reliable integrations and manageable data.
- Keeping the integration boundary explicit makes the application easier to maintain as the underlying capability changes.
