September 8, 2026 I'm building an AI sales copilot that turns RFQs into quotes for product businesses

Hey IH! 👋

I've spent the last few months building QuoteNexa — an AI sales copilot for product-based businesses: distributors, wholesalers and small manufacturers.

The problem I kept seeing I work with product businesses (telecom/electrical). Their reality: customers send RFQs asking for specs, prices and lead times — and the answers live in 30-page PDF manuals, a price spreadsheet, and the head of the most senior salesperson. So responses are slow, inconsistent, and the whole team depends on one or two people. Meanwhile buyers quote 2–3 suppliers and the first credible answer wins.

What I built Instead of memorizing product knowledge, QuoteNexa indexes it once:

  • Upload catalogs and manuals → searchable in ~2 minutes

  • The AI answers spec/price questions with citations to your own documents — no guessing

  • Paste a customer RFQ → requirements get extracted, products are matched from YOUR catalog with a score + reasoning, and a professional quote is generated in one click.

No ERP. No install. Free plan with no credit card.

Where things stand

  • Product is live, includes free plan, Pro with a 30-day free trial / Team

  • I validated the full flow end-to-end with a real exporter's product manual (indexed and answerable in ~1 minutes)

  • Just published a 30s demo (YouTube) and started an SEO/Insights push

  • Product Hunt launch is coming up next

What I learned so far (happy to expand)

  1. "Answers with citations" is the feature — in B2B sales, an AI answer you can't verify is a liability, not a feature.

  2. The workflow people will pay for is the boring one: ASK → RFQ → quote. Not another chatbot.

  3. Scope discipline matters — we deliberately did NOT build an ERP.

Would love your feedback:

  1. Positioning: "AI sales copilot" vs "RFQ → quote software" — which resonates more?

  2. Is $99/mo for a 5-person distributor team in the right ballpark?

  3. What's the #1 objection you'd have as a small manufacturer or distributor?

Happy to answer anything about the tech or the pricing model. Thanks for reading! 🙏
