Helps freelancers spend less time starting proposals from scratch by organizing relevant experience around the needs in a job description.

  1. Select an opportunity to respond to

  2. Identify the opportunity’s main needs

    Note requested skills, deliverables, constraints, and any questions the client has left open.

  3. Find relevant experience to include

    Choose accurate skills and past project examples from the freelancer’s own approved work history.

  4. Draft a focused cover letter

    Connect the selected experience to the client’s stated needs and flag missing details rather than inventing them.
