PackPal.ai

Cut days out of sales cycle for moving companies by utilizing AI-powered inventory recognition. Customers simply take a photo, and our AI generates an inventory list and an accurate quote.

Inspiration

We've moved multiple times and had to fill out an inventory list for each move before we could receive a price estimation for the cost of the move. This was a multi-day process and we were ghosted by multiple moving services companies that we thought would have appreciated the business, even if we had to schedule the move further out.

I also have a friend who runs a platform for moving services companies and he has been attempting to contract a software engineer to build a chatbot like this for his startup.

What it does

"Streamline Your Quotes with AI-Powered Inventory Recognition" Pack Pal transforms the quoting process for moving companies by utilizing AI technology. Customers simply take a photo, and our AI generates a comprehensive inventory list and an accurate quote, drastically reducing time spent on manual estimates.

How we built it

It may look too far along to have been developed during the hackathon, but that's only because we used Chipp.ai to build the chatbot (they launched an integration with Pixtral and Mistral Large two days ago) and NextJS for the landing page.

Challenges we ran into

Grounding the AI in concrete data to prevent hallucinations of quotes

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Uses Mistral Large to generate structured outputs from structured inputs for tool calling Uses image recognition with Pixtral Manages the conversation with Mistral Large

What we learned

There are many "unsexy" industries that have bounded, simple problems that can be solved by open source LLM providers like Mistral. These business domains do not require the high powered models from AI incumbents like OpenAI.

What's next for PackPal.ai

Ask the user for the distance of their move and adjust the quote accordingly Estimate the size of truck needed to move the items Estimate the number of people required to move the items Estimate the number of hours required to complete the move and incorporate that into the quote
