Less time chasing files and travelers. More time cutting, fitting, and welding.
Your shop
What stays with you
- Estimates, then your price. Quotebot prepares material, time, and margin worksheets. You or your estimator own the number that goes to the customer.
- Checklists, then your welders. WELDbot supplies defect vocabulary and QA checklists. It is not a welding credential. A qualified person does the inspection and signs.
- You run the floor and the customer. You run the table, talk to customers, publish listings, and ship the work.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this one chatbot with shop words?

Do I buy PLASMAbot and WELDbot separately?
No. Both are included with CNCbots.

What do I still do myself?

Ownership
What you still do
The package sets up a shop bot-org and the playbooks. Your people keep the floor, the money, and the customer.
| You still own | Why |
|---|---|
| Final price / signed bid | Quotebot prepares estimate worksheets only |
| Customer contact | Your team sends every customer message |
| Publish (site, Etsy, social, ads) | Nothing is posted for you |
| Cutting on the table | PLASMAbot advises. Your operator runs the machine |
| Welding / fit authority | FitUp and WELDbot checklists support the work. They are not a credential |
| Photos and listing truth | Your shop’s parts, as they are |
| Shipping and packing | The pack can define the criteria. You ship it |
| Spend (material, ads, tools, cloud) | Your approval |
| ERP / accounting systems | Not included |
| Inspection sign-off | Stays with a qualified person at your shop |
Rule of thumb: If it moves metal, moves money, or talks to a customer, that is still you. Worksheets, checklists, and routing are what the org handles.
What the package takes off your plate: intake routing, estimate worksheets, clean file packs, nest and cut plans, travelers, fit-up notes, and clear handoffs under ShopChief.
