An AI sales agent's Toyota Hilux quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Toyota Hilux pickups as sold in Saudi Arabia: the cab, engine, trim, gearbox and drive, paint and accessories, the quantity, the customer type, cash or finance, and a discount. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of what each configuration allows and returns a verdict, every reason and the totals it computed.

Scope: Toyota Hilux Single, Single Long and Double Cab pickups with 2.4L and 2.8L turbo diesel, 2.7L petrol and 4.0L V6 engines, in Standard, SGLX, Adventure and GR Sport trims: valid combinations, accessories, quantity, discount and approvals. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Hilux quotes for these configurations, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Cab, engine, trim and gearbox — the upper trims are built only on the Double Cab, the Single Long Cab has one engine and gearbox, the Single Cab automatic has one engine and drive, and the 4.0L V6 is an automatic 4x4 in the two top trims.
  • Accessories — paint, bed liner, tow bar, canopy and prepaid service are priced additively, and a canopy cannot be fitted to the GR Sport.
  • Quantity and customer type — a quote covers 1 to 50 vehicles, an individual customer orders at most 3, and a fleet order of 10 or more goes to a fleet desk review.
  • Discount and finance — a discount above 3 percent needs sales manager approval and one above 8 percent is blocked; a fleet customer on finance needs a credit review.
  • Totals — the unit price, net total and 15 percent VAT are computed from the choices, and a net total of 1,500,000 riyals or more needs a sales director review.

Any Hilux quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Toyota or Lexus models and forklifts. Cab, engine and trim names and their valid combinations follow public Saudi Arabia listings. All prices, accessory prices, quantity limits, discount and approval thresholds are modeled from comparable products and are illustrative, not published by Abdul Latif Jameel or Toyota.

The AI sales agentBuilds the Hilux quote from the conversation with the customer and says it is ready.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Cab, engine, trim and gearbox that must fit togetherOnly with care
Each cab, trim and engine allows only some partners, so a compatibility rule is needed for every pairing and must be kept in step with the catalog.
All the combinations are checked in the same pass as every other rule, and each finding says which pairing failed.
A 4.0L V6 that needs three things at onceOnly with workarounds
The V6 needs an automatic gearbox, four-wheel drive and one of two trims, so a single rule depends on several choices and is easy to get wrong.
The V6 rule is checked against all three choices on every call.
An accessory that conflicts with a trimOnly with care
A canopy fits every trim except the GR Sport, so a rule is needed for that one exception and is easy to leave out.
The accessory is checked against the trim on every call.
Quantity limits that depend on the customerOnly with care
An individual customer has a lower limit than a fleet, so the quantity rule has to look at the customer type.
The quantity is checked against the customer type in the same pass.
Discount, fleet, finance and total thresholdsOnly with workarounds
A discount has a sign-off level and a blocking level, and fleet size, finance and the order total are approvals rather than errors, so the rules must be ordered and kept apart.
Every threshold is checked together, and each finding says whether it blocks or needs a person.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved or a step is completed, so a person often fixes one error and meets the next.
All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Toyota Hilux pickups as sold in Saudi Arabia: the cab, engine, trim, and more. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of what each configuration allows and returns a verdict, every reason and the totals it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 12 Toyota Hilux GR Sport Single Long Cab trucks with the 4.0L V6 engine, a manual gearbox and 4x2 drive. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with five findings and three approvals, all in one answer. SGLX, Adventure and GR Sport trims are only built on the Double Cab. The Single Long Cab is offered only with the 2.7L petrol engine and a manual gearbox. The 4.0L V6 is offered only as an automatic 4x4 in Adventure or GR Sport trim. The other two are on screen.
  6. The validator returned five blocking findings and three approvals in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for discount, fleet, finance and total thresholds, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the cab to Double Cab, the gearbox to automatic and the discount to 5 percent.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Still blocked, with two findings and four approvals, all in one answer. The 4.0L V6 is offered only as an automatic 4x4 in Adventure or GR Sport trim. A canopy cannot be fitted to the GR Sport because of its sports bar.
  12. Three findings cleared. Still blocking: 4.0L V6 specification and canopy on GR Sport. Three approvals also remain for a person: large fleet order, fleet customer on finance and large order to confirm. A new approval needs a person: discount needs approval.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the drive to 4x4, the quantity to 5 and the discount to 3 percent. It removes the canopy and payment.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. All six earlier findings are cleared.
  18. Eight problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
