What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is OpenAI's AI assistant. The Exayard custom GPT adds Exayard's tools to ChatGPT, so it can run takeoffs, price materials, generate estimates, and draft bids on your construction projects — no code or configuration required.
Built for autonomous estimating
Exayard exposes every takeoff, pricing, and bid action as a tool ChatGPT can call, so it does the work you would normally click through by hand.
Estimate in plain English
Describe the outcome and ChatGPT drives Exayard for you — no clicking through screens, no glue code.
Real catalog and vendor pricing
ChatGPT searches your product catalog and live vendor prices, so every estimate is built on real numbers.
Takeoff to bid in one request
Chain detection, approval, estimating, and bid generation into a single turn instead of an afternoon of work.
What you can do with ChatGPT
Once ChatGPT is connected, you can drive Exayard with plain-language prompts.

Built-in workflows
Exayard ships MCP slash-commands so ChatGPT can run end-to-end workflows in a single turn.

/review_estimate_line_items

Keep a human in the loop
Destructive tools (archive, remove, cancel, approve) are gated behind a propose_destructive_action step that surfaces in ChatGPT and waits for your explicit confirmation before running.
Long-running calls like create_estimate and create_bid take 30–60 seconds — ChatGPT will warn you before invoking them.
