Meet Zai: Your AI Document Assistant
SuiteZai includes an AI-powered chatbot called Zai that understands natural language. Instead of clicking through menus and filling forms manually, you can simply describe what you need and Zai handles the rest.
What Can Zai Do?
- Create documents from description: Tell Zai "Create an invoice for John Doe, web design project, $3,500" and it generates the document instantly.
- Write professional content: Ask Zai to write proposal descriptions, scope of work, payment terms, or executive summaries.
- Answer questions: Ask about invoicing best practices, tax rules, or how to use SuiteZai features.
- Edit existing documents: Tell Zai to "add a 10% discount" or "change the due date to next Friday" on your current document.

AI Writing Assistant for Proposals
Proposal writing is where Zai truly shines. Creating a compelling proposal from scratch can take hours. With Zai, you can:
- Generate executive summaries: Describe your project and Zai writes a professional summary that captures the key value proposition.
- Create scope of work: List your deliverables and Zai formats them into a clear, professional scope section.
- Write terms and conditions: Ask Zai to generate standard terms covering payment, revisions, timeline, and intellectual property.
- Suggest pricing: Describe your services and Zai can help structure pricing tables with line items, quantities, and totals.
Tips for Better AI Results
- Be specific: "Create an invoice for web design, $3,500" gives better results than "make an invoice".
- Include key details: Client name, service description, amounts, and currency help Zai generate accurate documents.
- Iterate: Start with a basic command, then refine. "Add tax at 18%" or "Change the payment terms to Net 15".
- Use natural language: You don't need special syntax. Talk to Zai like you'd talk to an assistant.
AI Chat vs. Manual Creation
When should you use AI chat vs. the manual form?
- Use AI chat when: You want speed, you're creating from scratch, you need help writing content, or you're on mobile and typing is faster than clicking.
- Use the manual form when: You need precise control over every field, you're editing an existing template, or you prefer a visual workflow.
The best approach? Use Zai to generate a first draft quickly, then fine-tune in the form editor if needed. This combines speed with precision.
Privacy Note
Zai processes your requests using AI, but your document data stays in your browser. The AI helps generate content, but your final invoices, quotes, and proposals are stored locally — not on our servers.
