01
“How much?” is your most valuable question.
Price is usually the first real buying question, and the one most websites dodge with “contact us for a quote”. Visitors who only wanted a ballpark leave to find a competitor who gives one.
BusinessLyft answers with your numbers, not guesses. You define the formula, like pages × rate + setup, or upload your price list as a CSV, and the assistant fills in the details from the conversation and does the maths exactly. When the visitor wants a firm quote, it confirms the details with them and sends the brief to your team or CRM, so nobody has to ask the same questions twice.

02
The playbook, step by step
An afternoon of setup, then every “how much?” gets a real answer.
- 1
Write your formula
Name the inputs, like pages or weight, and the sum. Add limits so impossible values are rejected.
- 2
Upload your price list
Add rates, tiers or product prices as a CSV lookup table. Re-upload whenever prices change.
- 3
Add a webhook for briefs
Point it at Zapier, Make, n8n or your server, so confirmed requests land where your team works.
- 4
Test in the Playground
Ask the questions customers ask, and check in the answer trace which action ran and whether it worked.
03
How the quotes stay accurate
Mix them to match how you price: simple rates, tiers, or both.
-
Pricing formulas
Write it once, like pages × 600 + 1,200, and the assistant fills in the inputs from the conversation.
-
Price lists and rate tables
Upload a CSV of products, services or tiers, and it finds the right rows for each question.
-
Exact maths
Totals, discounts and conversions are done by a calculator, never estimated by the AI.
-
Confirm before sending
Before a brief goes out, the visitor sees the details in a confirmation card and can correct them.
-
Briefs to your CRM
Webhooks send the details to Zapier, Make, n8n or your server, signed and retried.
-
Rules you control
Custom instructions set the limits, like presenting prices as estimates and leaving final quotes to your team.
04
The features behind every quote
The features that turn a price question into a sale.
- Actions & integrations Formulas, lookup tables, the calculator and webhooks are all actions, set up in the dashboard.
- Lead qualification Anyone who asks for a firm quote is scored and summarised with the details they gave.
- PageSense On a product or service page, it knows exactly which item the visitor is asking about.
05
Before you start
-
It quotes what you’ve priced. If something isn’t covered by your formulas or price lists, it says so and collects the details instead of guessing.
-
A ballpark isn’t a contract. Use custom instructions to present prices as estimates when final quotes need a person to check them.
-
Keep price lists current. Lookup tables use the CSV you uploaded. Upload a new one when your prices change.
-
Complex pricing needs your API. If prices depend on live stock or a pricing engine, connect it with an API action rather than a static list.
