Content

A single commercial proposal (CP) takes 1–4 hours of an experienced manager's work. Studying the request, re-reading correspondence, finding similar projects, recalling current prices, assembling the structure, writing the text, checking, and formatting the PDF. Now multiply that by 10–20 CPs a month. A significant part of this time is not expert work, but mechanical assembly of information from different sources.

Tron Pool Energy has developed and implemented an AI agent that automates exactly this part: it collects data from the CRM, knowledge base, and price lists to form a complete, structured CP document — in minutes, right inside your CRM system. The manager receives a ready draft, adds accents, and sends it to the client.

In this article: how the AI agent for CPs differs from the AI agent for sales, how the generation process works, what is included in the finished document, a practical case study, and an implementation FAQ.

1. This is Not the Same as an AI Agent for the Sales Department

The Tron Pool Energy blog has already covered the topic "AI Agent for the Sales Department" — there, AI helps the manager find case studies faster, answer clients, and prepare draft responses. This is an important tool, but it works at the communication level. The AI agent for preparing CPs is the next level: it does not help the manager write a reply, but completely generates a structured document.

AI agent for sales vs. AI agent for CP generation
Parameter AI agent for sales (blog article) AI agent for CP generation (this article)
Task Speed up communication with the client Generate a finished CP document
Result of work Draft response, selection of case studies A full-fledged PDF document with architecture and budget
Data sources Knowledge base, cases, price list CRM, brief, price lists, cases, Google Drive
Depth of analysis Conversation context Full client profile + estimation business logic
Manager's involvement Answers questions, sends the response Checks and clarifies the document, sends it to the client
Where it works Chat, messenger, CRM (replies) Inside CRM: button → document in minutes
Automation level Partial (draft + manager) High: from data to a finished document

2. Where the AI Agent Gets Data for the CP

The main difference between an AI agent and a template generator is that it does not create text "out of thin air." Every CP is formed based on the company's real data. The agent acts as a single point for collecting and interpreting information from five sources:

Data source What it gives the agent Example of use
CRM data Correspondence with the client, communication history, manager notes, lead status Understands context: what the client has already asked, what objections arose
Project brief Requirements, goals, limitations, budget, deadlines Forms a project description for a specific task, not a template
Knowledge base Company cases, standard solutions, technologies, service descriptions Selects relevant examples of implemented projects
Price lists and estimates Current prices, standard estimates by service categories Calculates a preliminary budget and deadlines
Google Drive / documents Presentations, technical descriptions, portfolios Adds relevant materials as an appendix to the CP

The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach allows the agent not to "hallucinate," but to use only real company data. The RAG technology is detailed in the article "+300% to Sales Speed: RAG Systems in Business" — here the focus is on practical application.

3. How the AI Agent Prepares a CP: 5 Steps

The process from request to finished document looks like this:

Full CP generation cycle:

  1. Receiving the request. The client leaves a request via the website, a form, or writes directly. The data automatically goes into the CRM along with context: lead source, previous interactions, website behavior.
  2. Information analysis. The AI agent reads the correspondence, brief, and additional materials. It determines: the type of client task, priorities, budget constraints, expected result, and the psychological profile of the request.
  3. RAG search through the knowledge base. The agent accesses internal sources and pulls relevant cases, technologies, standard solutions, and current prices — only what fits this specific request.
  4. Document generation. The AI autonomously forms a structured CP: project description, architecture, modules, development stages, deadline estimation, and budget. The structure is adapted to the client type (B2B/B2C) and project complexity.
  5. Verification by the manager. The manager opens the finished document in the CRM, adds accents tailored to the negotiation strategy, generates a PDF, and sends it to the client. The AI does not send the document automatically — the final decision is always up to the human.

What is Included in the Finished CP Generated by the AI Agent

The document generated by the agent is not a template with names swapped in. It is a full-fledged structured proposal:

CP sections formed by the AI agent
CP Section What it contains Where data comes from
Project description Client's business context, the problem we are solving CRM + brief
Goals and value Measurable results, business effect of implementation Request analysis + knowledge base
Solution architecture Technical approach, key components, integrations Knowledge base + standard solutions
Functional modules Detailing by roles, scenarios, logic Cases + module templates
Development stages Project phases, result of each stage, dependencies Standard estimates + RAG
Deadlines Preliminary deadlines considering complexity and risks Price lists + estimates base
Preliminary budget Cost structure with optimization options Current prices + project history

5. Case Study: AI Agent for Preparing CPs in a Digital Agency

Situation. A digital agency (website development, mobile apps, and CRM integrations, 22 employees) received 40 to 70 requests per month. About 60% required a detailed CP — with architecture, stages, and a budget. Each such CP took the manager 1.5–3 hours. Meanwhile, 30–40% of clients left to "think about it" and never returned — partly due to the long wait. Information was scattered: prices on Google Drive, cases on the website, prices in Excel, correspondence in the CRM. The manager spent significant time just collecting data.

What Tron Pool Energy implemented (7 weeks):

  1. The AI agent was integrated into the agency's CRM: a "Generate CP" button appears in every lead card.
  2. The agent accesses the knowledge base (54 cases, 12 technical templates, price lists), analyzes correspondence with the client and the brief.
  3. Forms a complete document in 3–5 minutes: description, architecture, modules, stages, budget, deadlines.
  4. The manager checks, adds negotiation accents (5–15 minutes), and sends the PDF to the client directly from the CRM.
  5. The AI briefing assistant works in tandem: collects data from the client even before generating the CP, reducing the number of clarifying calls.
Results 2 months after launch
Metric Before implementation After implementation Change
Preparation time for 1 CP 1.5–3 hours 15–25 minutes (check + edits) −85%
CPs per month (1 manager) 12–15 28–35 ×2.3 capacity growth
Speed of sending CP to client 1–3 days after request Same day −70% wait time
Lead → CP sent conversion 62% 91% +29 p.p.
Structural compliance with standard ~70% (depended on manager) ~97% (AI follows template) +27 p.p.
Manager's load on data collection ~50% time on routine ~15% (only checking) −70% routine

6. Solution Architecture

The AI agent is not a monolithic application, but a system of interconnected components. Each is responsible for a specific part of the process:

Architecture components of the AI agent for CP generation
Component Role in the system Integration
CRM (AvadaCRM / Bitrix24 / any) Single data source: lead, correspondence, brief, status Native or via API
AI agent core (OpenAI / Claude) Analyzes data, makes decisions, generates CP text Connects to CRM and knowledge base
RAG + knowledge base Stores cases, templates, technologies. Agent extracts only the relevant ones LangChain / LlamaIndex + vector DB
Prices and estimates base Calculates budget and deadlines based on standard models Google Sheets / Excel / internal DB
Document generation module Forms a structured PDF according to the company's template Templater + PDF export
Google Drive / cloud Stores finished CPs and accompanying materials Google Drive API
AI briefing assistant (optional) Collects data from the client before CP generation Works in tandem with the agent

Honestly: Advantages and Growth Points

Pros and growth points of the AI CP generation agent
Advantages Growth points (resolved during implementation)
CP preparation time reduced by 70–85% Requires a structured knowledge base and up-to-date prices at the start
Unified standard: all CPs match the company template The first 3–4 weeks are a calibration period: the bot learns on real CPs
The manager focuses on negotiations, not on assembling the document Non-standard projects require more manager involvement during the editing stage
Sales team capacity grows without hiring Quality depends on knowledge base completeness and regular price updates
Every CP has real cases and a justified budget CRM integration requires 1–2 weeks of technical setup

FAQ

  • How does this AI agent differ from the one already described in the article "AI Agent for the Sales Department"?

    The AI agent for sales (blog article 3) helps the manager in communication: quickly finds cases, drafts replies, speeds up presale. This is a tool for answering questions. The AI agent for CPs goes further: it completely generates a structured document — with architecture, stages, budget, and deadline calculations — based on CRM data, briefs, and the knowledge base. Different level of automation, different result.

  • Is it necessary to retrain the agent when prices change or new cases appear?

    No. The system works on RAG architecture: updating data means uploading a new file to the knowledge base or price list. The agent starts using the updated data within minutes after the update, without restarting or retraining the model.

  • Is it necessary to retrain the agent when prices change or new cases appear?

    No. The system works on RAG architecture: updating data means uploading a new file to the knowledge base or price list. The agent starts using the updated data within minutes after the update, without restarting or retraining the model.

  • Can the agent send the CP to the client automatically?

    No — intentionally. The final document is always checked by a manager before sending. This is the human-in-the-loop principle: the AI forms a draft and does 80% of the work, but the final word is up to the human. The manager adds negotiation accents, clarifies the nuances of a specific client, and only then sends the document.

  • Which CRM systems is the agent compatible with?

    The agent integrates with any CRM via API: Bitrix24, amoCRM, HubSpot, any PHP/Laravel systems, as well as specialized CRMs. The "button → document" interface is embedded into the manager's standard working interface without switching between systems.

  • What is the minimum knowledge base needed to launch?

    For the first prototype, the following is enough: 10–15 company cases, a current price list, a CP structure template, and descriptions of 5–7 standard services. This alone is enough to automatically generate 60–70% of CPs without significant edits. The base is built up gradually — the more real data, the more accurate and convincing each subsequent proposal.
