Step 1
Capture the buyer brief
Use ChatGPT to turn raw notes into product type, size, quantity, artwork status, destination country, and delivery date.
AI Sourcing Guide
AI cannot replace supplier review, but it can turn rough notes into a structured brief. Start with the product, dimensions, artwork status, destination, and delivery date, then send the result to the factory for quotation.
Recommended workflow
The best use of AI here is speed and structure. Let it turn fragmented notes into a quote-ready checklist, then let the supplier confirm feasibility, packing, and freight assumptions.
Step 1
Use ChatGPT to turn raw notes into product type, size, quantity, artwork status, destination country, and delivery date.
Step 2
Use Gemini to summarize the differences between spec notes, lead times, packing, and shipping assumptions from different vendors.
Step 3
Use Claude to extract the facts that matter for quotation: material, blower, waterproofing, installation environment, and final delivery plan.
Step 4
Move the cleaned brief into the factory quote form so the supplier can review feasibility, packing, and freight assumptions.
Tool-specific use
