Tell Biddy your room sizes on a Custom project — it saves them now

Square footage you dictate to Biddy lands on the room, shows in Project Totals, and prices the job. Plus: a line you delete stays deleted.

Say the square footage. Biddy writes it down.

If you've ever sat on a Custom project reading room sizes off your notes — "her bath floor is 145.99 square feet" — and watched every single confirm card bounce back, that's fixed. It was our bug, it cost at least one of you the better part of a morning, and we're sorry.

Here's what happens now. You say the number, Biddy proposes it against the room you're talking about, you confirm once. It shows up in Project Totals with the rest of that room's surfaces, and the next proposal you build prices off it.

Two small things worth knowing:

  • Name the surface the way you'd say it out loud — "floor", "shower walls", "ceiling". Called by its plain name, it rolls into the project's headline totals.
  • Anything with a name of its own — "half wall behind the toilet", "the bump-out by the window" — is kept as its own surface. It's visible and editable like everything else, it just won't quietly pad a total it isn't really part of.

This works on any project type, not only Custom ones. When the job has a piece of geometry the standard measurement list doesn't cover, just say it.

Biddy stops proposing things it can't actually do

The reason that dead end lasted so long is that Biddy only found out a request was impossible after you'd already been handed a card to approve. So it kept asking, you kept confirming, nothing kept happening.

Biddy now checks before it puts a card in front of you. If a request genuinely can't work, it says so in the conversation and tries a different way in the same breath — no more approving the same doomed card five times in a row.

A line you delete stays deleted

Delete a line item — in the proposal editor, or by asking Biddy to pull it — and it now gets filed under the Excluded work chips up in Measurements & Scope. That's the list BidCraft treats as off-limits on every re-draft, so the work you removed doesn't walk back in the next time you regenerate.

Changed your mind? Tap the × on the chip and it's fair game again.

Biddy reads your scope edits

One more small one: if you'd rewritten the scope-of-work text by hand and then asked Biddy about it, Biddy was still reading the original AI version. It reads your version now — same text you're looking at on the page.
