How Freelancers Are Using AI to Win More Jobs on Upwork, Freelancer & Guru
Listen to this article

If you've spent time bidding on jobs on Upwork, Freelancer, or Guru, you already know how exhausting it can be to write proposal after proposal β€” especially when most clients never reply. You open a new job, read through the requirements, and start typing your pitch from scratch… again and again.

That routine can eat up hours every single day β€” time that could be spent actually doing paid work.

That's why many freelancers are now turning to InstantBid, a smart Chrome extension that uses AI to help write proposals automatically. It's not just a typing assistant β€” it actually understands job descriptions, tailors each proposal to your skills, and helps you apply faster and more confidently.
