Quote Desk Teammate

Business helper

A cleaning business answers the same enquiries all day, so an AI teammate drafts quotes from your price list and the owner approves each booking. Tricks on two versions show minutes saved.

What a finished project shows

AI AgentsUniversity · Ages 18–24

Make: A working AI agent for a clearly described user and task, with at least one knowledge source and, if you like, tools such as a calculator or a lookup on made-up data. Any real-world step waits for a person to approve it.

AI’s job: The AI decides how to handle each request: answer, look something up, ask a person or refuse. You design its instructions, knowledge, tools and guardrails.

Shows:

  • A one-page spec with a guardrail table: each rule, why it's there and which test checks it.
  • A 20-case test plan written first, with 8 tricks, run on 2 versions and on the plain model, in one table.
  • A red team of 3 people outside your team, a failure analysis, and a user card that says what it can't do and who to ask.
  • A process log with at least 5 dated entries, a short intro and your project or a demo judges can open.

Finalists on stage: 10 min talk + 3 min Q&A.

A summary: if the two ever differ, your challenge is what counts.
