AI Proposal Assistant·FEAT / 00:00

From Client Brief to Priced Proposal in Minutes

FirstSlate's AI assistant drafts your proposal from the intake brief and prices it from your own past jobs, then checks it before you hit send.

The proposal is where won work goes to stall. The client's brief is sitting right there, you know roughly what the job costs, and somehow it still takes an evening to turn one into the other.

FirstSlate's AI assistant closes that gap. It reads the intake brief your client already filled out and drafts the proposal: pre-production, production, and post, each line with a description, quantity, and rate. Pricing comes from your own history. The assistant looks at what you've charged for the same services on past proposals, not an industry average from nowhere.

It works like an assistant, not an autopilot. If the brief is too thin, it asks you a few pointed questions before drafting. Want a line item punchier or a phase rebuilt? Tell it in plain language. And before you send, a sanity check compares the draft against the brief and flags what's missing: unbilled scope, deliverable mismatches, a budget contradiction you'd rather catch now than on set.

Every AI feature is optional, clearly marked, and producer-only. Your client never sees the machine, just a sharp proposal. Nothing goes out without your review.

How it works

Scene by scene.

SCENE 00:01

It reads the brief

The assistant works from the intake brief your client submitted: goal, deliverables, timeline, budget. If the brief is too thin to price, it asks you a few clarifying questions first.

SCENE 00:02

It drafts the whole proposal

Services split into pre-production, production, and post, plus an overview and a deliverables list. Each line item carries a description, quantity, and rate.

SCENE 00:03

It prices from your history

Rates are suggested from your own past proposals for the same services. Your pricing, learned from you, not a generic rate card.

SCENE 00:04

You refine and send

Rewrite any line in plain language, regenerate a phase, or refine the whole draft. The pre-send check flags gaps against the brief before your client ever sees it.

Why it matters

What you actually get.

Your pricing, not a template's

The assistant learns rates from your own sent and accepted proposals. Producers who charge premium rates get premium drafts.

A pre-send check that catches misses

The draft is compared against the brief before sending: scope that never got billed, deliverables that don't match, budget contradictions.

Asks before it guesses

A thin brief triggers clarifying questions, not confident nonsense. You answer inline and the answers steer the draft.

Edit in plain language

'Make the post-production line mention two revision rounds.' The assistant rewrites that line, and only that line.

Privacy handled properly

Only brief details are sent to the model, never your client's contact details, and the content isn't used to train it. The privacy policy spells it out.

You stay the producer

Every AI suggestion is a draft you review. Nothing is sent to a client automatically.

Who it's for

Whether you shoot alone or with a team.

01

Producers quoting weekly

When proposals are constant, an evening saved per quote is a real capacity change.

02

Producers who underprice under pressure

Pricing from your own history keeps a rushed Friday quote consistent with what you actually charge.

03

Producers who hate blank pages

A solid draft to react to beats an empty line-item table. Edit taste into it instead of typing from zero.
