AI Proposal Generator

Close more deals. Spend less time writing.

The Problem

Freelancers and agencies spend 2-4 hours writing each proposal. Most copy-paste from old proposals, which feels generic and unprofessional. Meanwhile, clients expect polished, customized documents. The proposal bottleneck kills deal velocity.

The Solution

Input brief project details, and AI generates a complete proposal: project understanding, scope of work, timeline, pricing, and terms. Beautiful templates, e-signature ready, and analytics to see when clients view.

How it works:

1

Input details

Client, project type, budget

2

AI generates

Full proposal in seconds

3

Send & track

E-sign and view analytics
