By simply entering a plain-text request—like “1,000 leaflets delivered Friday”—the system automatically gathers any missing details, runs it through the iQuote engine, and delivers a full quote in seconds.

This smart, conversational interface uses natural language processing to reduce the load on busy estimators and make quoting more accessible across your team. 

AI-Powered Press Configuration - A Nubium Beta from CAI Labs

Currently in beta, this is part of CAI's vision to simplify real-world print operations through smart automation.
