How to build a quote calculator by describing it (no spreadsheet needed)

About 5 minutesNo codeFree ChatGPT account works

If your pricing lives in your head, you can just say it. Tell ChatGPT what you charge and what changes the price, and CalcForms turns that into a form with a live total. No spreadsheet, no formulas, about five minutes.

Step by step

  1. Add CalcForms to ChatGPT

    One click on the CalcForms app page, then sign in with your email. Once.

  2. Say what you sell and how you price it

    Talk like you would to a new employee: "I clean windows. $8 per standard window, $14 per large, plus $40 call-out. 10% off over 30 windows."

  3. Say what to ask the customer

    "Ask for number of standard windows, number of large windows, and their postcode. Show them the total."

  4. Try it

    ChatGPT shows the form. Put in a job you quoted last week and check the total matches. Adjust in plain words if not.

  5. Publish

    Say "publish it" and share the link.

The words to say

Copy this into ChatGPT (with CalcForms added) and fill in the brackets.

Say this to ChatGPT

"Build me a quote calculator. I [what you do]. Pricing: [your rates and rules]. Ask the customer for [the questions]. Show them the total and nothing else. Publish it when done."

What you will see

A short form, a live total that updates as the customer types, and a dashboard entry for every reply with the breakdown you did not show them.

FAQ

Can I add a spreadsheet later?
Yes. Paste it into the same chat and say "use this for the rates instead." The form keeps its link.
Can I have different prices by area?
Yes. Give ChatGPT the list ("Zone A $40, Zone B $60") and ask for a dropdown. See the price list guide.
Do customers need ChatGPT?
No. Customers just open a link in their browser. ChatGPT is only where you build it.
