Switchgrass Makes AI Show Its Estimating Work
A landscaper-specific AI tool that turns job descriptions into editable estimates for proposal and business software.
Field notes
The workflow begins with a natural-language description of a landscape job, then produces an itemized estimate that can be inspected at the level of labor calculations, material quantities, markups, overhead, and assumptions. Users can import their own production rates, vendor catalogs, favorite materials, and pricing preferences before reviewing the result. The page names Jobber, LMN, QuickBooks, and spreadsheets as export destinations, while one customer account describes reducing a four-hour estimate to 20 minutes.
