Overview
With Agentplace, you create an AI freight quote intake agent for freight forwarding operators. It gets its own page and URL. Clients open its link, describe origin, destination, cargo, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, ready date and required transport legs, and work toward a complete shipment brief that the shipper can verify and submit for a freight quote. You provide your lane coverage, shipment requirements, packaging guidance and rate-request checklist.
Turn a partial shipping inquiry into a coherent shipment record. Ask which party arranges each leg, reconcile dimensions and units, and explain why missing cargo information prevents a meaningful rate request. Adding delivery to a site without a loading dock changes the requested services and the quote brief, rather than remaining a note outside the shipment record.
Include the agent in your freight service so shippers can prepare and submit a usable rate request. The agent chooses and updates the content and components across its whole page. Clients can inspect the current result while directing the work through text or voice.

How it works
How to create your AI freight quote intake agent
Define the service, test a real request and publish your agent. Start with the core task. Test the result and required connections before offering it to clients.
- 01
Add your method and source material
Provide your lane coverage, shipment requirements, packaging guidance and rate-request checklist. Define which details the agent needs about origin, destination, cargo, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, ready date and required transport legs. Give it examples of a useful result and a request that falls outside your offer.
- 02
Test the complete client task
Lena confirmed a shipment of four machinery-parts crates from Rotterdam to Atlanta. She needs factory collection and delivery to a site without a forklift. Use that kind of request to check the first result, a missing detail and a changed requirement. The brief is a quote request. Rates, capacity, customs determinations and confirmed bookings require the relevant provider or specialist. Do not invent transit times or classify restricted cargo.
- 03
Publish and connect the next action
Publish the agent's page and share its URL. Include the agent in your freight service so shippers can prepare and submit a usable rate request. Connect the source, delivery, booking or payment tools required by that offer, and test their success and failure states before clients use them.

A few things to know
AI freight quote intake agent FAQ
What is an AI agent for freight quote intake?

You provide your lane coverage, shipment requirements, packaging guidance and rate-request checklist.
Does this agent issue a freight rate itself?
The initial service completes the rate request. It can display a quote only when a configured rate source or your pricing team supplies one with its assumptions and validity.
What should I provide before launching?
Provide your lane coverage, shipment requirements, packaging guidance and rate-request checklist. Test the agent with representative client material and explain what it may do when a required input is missing. The brief is a quote request. Rates, capacity, customs determinations and confirmed bookings require the relevant provider or specialist. Do not invent transit times or classify restricted cargo.
How does the result change during a conversation?
Adding delivery to a site without a loading dock changes the requested services and the quote brief, rather than remaining a note outside the shipment record. The agent updates the relevant components and content on its page, keeping the client's current choices visible while they use text or voice.
How does this fit my business offer?
Include the agent in your freight service so shippers can prepare and submit a usable rate request. Define the included work, revision scope and any optional continuation so clients understand what they receive.
