The problem it solves

Checking freelance platforms throughout the day for new jobs that match what you do is exhausting, and by the time you see a good listing, someone else has already applied. You need to know the moment a relevant job goes up, not hours later.

Who it fits

A freelancer, agency, or business developer who wants first crack at new client work.

How it works

  1. The automation scans your chosen freelance platform for new job postings
  2. Relevant listings are pulled and cleaned up
  3. Each new job is logged in a Google Sheet for your records
  4. A summary of the job is sent straight to your phone as an instant alert
What you get

Job postings you see before other freelancers do

You get an instant alert on your phone the moment a matching freelance job goes live, so you can respond first.

What you get

A running Google Sheets log of relevant jobs and an instant mobile alert for each new one.

What you need

An Apify account, a Google Sheets account, and a messaging app connected for alerts.

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.
