3 variants in 60 seconds
Short, medium, and detailed proposals generated in one pass. Compare them, pick the best fit for the job, or blend elements from each.
Screening question answers
Paste the client's screening questions and get specific, personalised answers generated alongside your proposals. No separate step.
QDIPC framework
Every proposal follows the framework top Upwork earners use: Question, Diagnosis, Insight, Proof, CTA. Not a generic template.
Bring your own API key
Connect Groq, Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude. Pay the provider directly at cost. No subscription markup. No per-proposal fee.
No account required
Nothing to sign up for. Your API key and saved projects stay in your browser only. Clear your browser data and everything is gone.
Works on any device
Browser-based. No Chrome extension to install. No desktop app to download. Open it on any device and start bidding.
How It Works
Paste the job post
Copy the full Upwork job description into the tool. The more detail, the more personalised the output.
Add your background
Tell the tool about your relevant experience, skills, and any past projects. This feeds directly into the proof points in each proposal.
Add screening questions (optional)
If the client included screening questions, paste them in. The tool answers them in the same generation pass.
Select your API provider
Choose Groq, Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude. Paste your API key. It stays in your browser session and passes through our server function only to make each call. We never save it.
Get 3 proposal variants
Short, medium, and detailed proposals are generated simultaneously. Copy whichever fits the job best.
Which API Provider Should You Use?
The tool works with four providers. All four produce strong proposals. The difference is cost and speed.
| Provider | Cost | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groq (Llama 3) | Free | Fastest | Daily bidding |
| Gemini Flash | Free tier available | Fast | Most jobs |
| GPT-4o (OpenAI) | Pay per token | Medium | Complex jobs |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | Pay per token | Medium | Nuanced writing |

Upwork Proposal Generator vs. Paid Tools
Most paid proposal generators charge $29 to $99 per month and use GPT-3.5 under the hood. This tool is free because you supply the API key directly.
| Feature | This tool | Other generators |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free (BYOK) | $29-99/month subscription |
| Variants per generation | 3 (short, medium, detailed) | 1 (regenerate to vary) |
| Screening question answers | Yes, same generation | Usually separate or manual |
| API key saved on servers | No, used per request only | Not applicable (they use their own key) |
| Account required | No | Yes |
| Chrome extension needed | No | Sometimes |
| AI model choice | Groq, Gemini, OpenAI, Claude | Fixed (usually GPT-3.5) |
Why Most AI Proposal Generators Fail (and How This One Avoids It)
Generic AI generators produce generic proposals. They take the job description and produce a cover letter that any freelancer could have sent. Clients can tell in two sentences.
Problem
Generic openers
How we solve it
This tool requires your background and past projects as input. The opening line is derived from the job post and your experience together, not from a template.
Problem
No proof points
How we solve it
The QDIPC framework requires a specific past project to be referenced. The tool pulls from your saved projects to find the most relevant one for each job.
Problem
Ignored screening questions
How we solve it
Screening questions are handled in the same generation pass as the proposal, not as an afterthought. Each answer is contextualised to the job.
