Compare supplier quotes
A practical way to use AI for this job in a small business, with a prompt you can copy.
The prompt
Compare these supplier quotes: [paste or upload]. Make a table showing price, what's included, what's excluded, delivery time, payment terms and contract length. Then list questions I should ask each supplier.
Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.
Steps
- Upload or paste the quotes.
- Run the prompt.
- Check the table against the originals.
- Ask the questions before signing.
My verdict
Very good at spotting the exclusions buried on page 3.
