The problem it solves

You spend time hunting through Upwork listings trying to find a real way to reach the client instead of just bidding blind. By the time you've dug up an email or profile, someone else has already sent their pitch.

Who it fits

Freelancers or agencies who want to reach out to Upwork clients directly instead of only submitting proposals.

How it works

  1. A schedule checks Upwork for new job postings matching your criteria
  2. Postings are filtered by keyword and relevance
  3. AI reads each posting and looks for contact details and social profiles
  4. Leads are scored and organized into a structured list logged to a spreadsheet
What you get

Warmer leads reached before competitors slide into inbox

You get an organized list of Upwork clients worth contacting directly, scored and ready for outreach without scrolling through job posts yourself.

What you get

A spreadsheet of organized leads with contact details ready for direct outreach.

What you need

An Upwork account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
