AI intake for commercial print shops
Porto learns the piece, the quantity, the paper and the deadline, so your estimators price print jobs without a round of follow up emails.

Hi, I’m Pressline Print Co’s AI assistant. What would you like printed?
Catalogs for a trade show. 48 pages, about 1,500 copies, and the show is on the 18th.
Quantity and deadline already covered
So it moves on to size and paper
Thanks. What finished size are you thinking, and would you like a heavier stock or a gloss finish for the cover?
What Porto does for commercial print shops
Porto replaces the quote request form on a commercial print shop’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the piece, the quantity, the size, the paper and finish, and the deadline, and sends your estimator a brief before the job is priced.
What Porto works out in the conversation
These are the topics, not a script. Porto asks only what it still needs, so a visitor who mentions their timeline in the first message never hears that question.

Questions from commercial print shops
Can Porto price a print job?
No. It gathers the specs your estimator needs and tells the customer when to expect a quote.
What about rush jobs?
Porto asks for the in hand date early and flags tight deadlines for your team.
Can customers ask about paper options?
Yes. Add your stocks and finishes to the knowledge base, and Porto answers from it.
