How it works

What it does for you, and what it leaves to you.

Procurement staff receive quotes in different formats and still have to compile them manually. Similar totals can hide different quantities, specifications, freight scope or conditions.

Compare varied descriptions and expose gaps with source references. No saving, supplier quality or procurement outcome is proven. A standard RFQ response sheet or existing procurement portal can prevent much of this work. Use a spreadsheet for arithmetic and stable comparisons. The assistant is a proposed helper when unstructured offers still arrive; it does not choose or negotiate with suppliers.

You stay in charge. The buyer checks every line and calculation against the original quote. An authorized person confirms terms, judges supplier suitability and makes any commercial commitment.

You get

  • A like-for-like comparison, missing terms and draft clarification questions

It never

  • Pick a winning supplier or score quality
  • Send a request, negotiate, accept terms or place an order
  • Invent delivery costs, tax rates or exchange rates
  • Treat a different specification or a missing line as a match

The comparison it prepares

The example above, in words.

Q1 has a stated EUR 550 subtotal on the supplied delivery basis. Q2 has EUR 470 plus unknown delivery and missing validity; its complete cost cannot be ranked. Q3 is a B1 exception to B2. Ask for the missing facts before a purchase decision.

Settings

The setup prompt starts with the defaults, marked here.

Comparison order

Choose how the assistant organizes the result; evidence and review rules stay the same.

  • Requirement first (default)
  • Supplier first

Your working rules

Mandatory requirements and the exact comparison basis. Do not supply bank details or confidential information you are not allowed to share.

Optional. Empty unless you fill it in.

Check the first result

Each setup page has a fictional exercise to paste first. A good answer to it meets all of these.

  • Q1 arithmetic is shown as 500 + 50 = 550 EUR.
  • Q2 is not labeled cheapest delivered while freight is unknown.
  • Q3 stays a specification exception rather than an equivalent offer.
  • No supplier award, tax rate, exchange rate or negotiation is invented.
  • Removing an essential input causes a question or a blocked item, not an invented fact.
  • Changing the setting changes the requested output while source references and fixed limits remain.

Questions people ask

Does it choose the supplier?
No. It shows which quotes meet your mandatory criteria and which can’t be compared yet, but it gives no award or quality score. You or an authorized buyer decide.
What if a quote leaves out delivery or other costs?
It keeps the known subtotal apart from the complete total and won’t call that quote cheapest on a delivered basis. It drafts a question asking the supplier for the missing cost.
What about quotes in different currencies?
It keeps currencies separate and never converts them. Give it an approved common basis, or it asks you for one.
How many quotes can I compare at once?
Up to five dated quote extracts per comparison, against one requirement with its quantity, specification and delivery basis.
Which plan do I need?
A paid Claude plan: Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. Cowork works in Claude Desktop on every paid plan, and on the web on Pro, Max and Team.
