AI Auto Body Shop Estimate Explainer

WHAT IT DOES

This AI agent helps auto body shop owners, service advisors, and insurance professionals translate complex repair estimates into clear, plain-English explanations that customers can understand. It takes your auto body shop estimate details—customer name, vehicle information, damage description, labor and parts costs, total estimate, and insurance information—and transforms them into a clear explanation suitable for customers, insurance agents, or shop staff. The output includes an estimate overview that sets the context, a damage summary that explains what needs repair, a cost breakdown that clarifies labor and parts, insurance coverage notes that explain the financial picture, and next steps that guide action. If your input is missing essential details like customer name, vehicle information, or total estimate, the agent will ask for those specifics rather than guessing. The result is a clear, plain-English explanation that helps customers understand their repair costs and make informed decisions.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf and paste your BotGentz key once—the host handles key management automatically. In the text area, enter your auto body shop estimate details in whatever format works for you. You can write free-form notes like "Jennifer Park's 2022 Toyota Camry with front bumper scrapes and crack, right headlight broken, hood dented, and grille damaged. Labor $850, parts $1,200, total $2,050. Progressive claim P123456 with $500 deductible." Or use a structured format with labeled fields. Press the "Explain estimate" button. The agent will process your input and return a clear, plain-English explanation. You can also use the "Use selection" button to grab selected text from any other page in BotSurf and insert it directly into the input area. Copy the final explanation with the copy button, then paste it into your customer communication, insurance report, or shop documentation.

WHAT IT SENDS

The agent sends only the text currently in the input box when you press the "Explain estimate" button. It does not send anything on page load, on idle, or automatically. It does not access your clipboard, browser history, files, or any other data outside the input box. Usage logs record the number of generation requests for billing purposes—they do not store, log, or inspect the content of your requests or the AI's responses. The content is transmitted securely over the BotGentz bridge and is used solely to generate your explanation in real time. No third party has access to your prompts or outputs.

SUBSCRIPTION

The agent is available for $19.99 per month with a 7-day free trial. Each subscription includes 100 runs per month. Unused runs do not roll over. You can cancel anytime from your BotGentz account dashboard. The free trial starts automatically when you first run the agent and requires no upfront payment. After the trial, you will be charged monthly unless you cancel. The trial includes the full 100 runs for the first month.

THE PANEL

The agent runs as a draggable, resizable panel within BotSurf. You can drag it by the header, snap it to any edge of the browser window, collapse it to a small bubble using the header button, and dismiss it with the Escape key. The panel remembers its position across sessions when you are signed in. It adapts to any window size and works alongside other agents and tools in your BotSurf workspace.
