Speed, clarity, and professionalism win jobs. That’s why Portal’s AI Proposal Builder is a game-changer for integrators. With just a voice memo or a walkthrough video, AI turns your raw job specs into a complete, structured proposal outline—saving you hours and setting you apart from the competition.

Picture this

You’re walking through a job site, pointing out where everything will go.

A TV mounted over the fireplace. A Sonos Arc connected below. Speaker wire routed to the kitchen.

You talk through the project naturally. Portal listens.

AI Proposal Builder takes everything you say and instantly builds a Proposal Outline and, with a click of a button, turns it into a full proposal.

Not a list of notes. Not a rough draft. An actual structured proposal ready to refine and send.

For clients, this means faster quotes. For you, it means more time selling and less time stuck behind a keyboard.

How It Works

Step 1: Review the Proposal Outline

Step 2: The smarter your spec, the better your results. Mention specific items like “Sony 75-inch TV” or “Sonos Arc” and Portal will pre-filter matches from the catalog when you go to select parts.

How the AI Proposal Builder Works

Here’s what makes Portal’s AI Proposal Builder powerful:

  • Speak, paste notes, or upload a walkthrough video with your project details

  • AI extracts detailed information: scope of work, rooms/areas, AV/security/network systems, product categories, labor tasks, and install notes.

  • It generates a full proposal outline with area descriptions, tasks, and a preliminary budget for the project.

  • Click to convert it to a full, editable proposal. Placeholders mark each item and budget.

  • Simply click “Replace with Catalog Item” on the Placeholder items and Portal filters the catalog based on the details of that item.

If you spec a Sony 75" TV, Portal highlights Sony models and prioritizes items you use most often. Over time, AI learns your preferences and auto-fills more accurate products, reducing the need for placeholders.

Why Dealers Love It

  • Ridiculously Fast: Go from walkthrough to draft proposal in minutes.

  • Smart Filtering: Your item selections get faster as the system learns.

  • Customizable: You still control the final selections, pricing, and presentation.

  • Video Capable: Upload walkthrough videos and let AI do the rest.

Next-Level Professionalism

Contractors who use Portal's AI Proposal Builder return quotes within hours—not days. That speed signals professionalism, preparedness, and trust. Clients notice.
