BriefCraft

AI project scoping chatbot for freelance designers — transforms client briefs into proposals with market-rate pricing.

About This Project

Conversational AI tool that acts as a senior creative operations strategist. Designers describe a project and the AI deconstructs it into discrete deliverables, structures phased workflows, estimates hours, and generates pricing recommendations based on AIGA benchmarks. Built around the ScopeBot persona with contextual skill triggers — mentioning 'retainer' activates monthly hour bank structuring, compressed timelines trigger rush job calculus with multiplier math. Guardrails prevent below-floor pricing ($25/hr hard stop) and fabricated rate data. Streaming SSE for real-time responses at sub-$0.02 per conversation.
