Lancer.app

Lancer is an automation tool for Upwork outreach. Its AI agent monitors new job postings, filters them with an AI suitability check against your skills and preferences instead of keywords alone, and sends proposals on your behalf. It is aimed at freelancers and agencies that want to respond quickly and send many tailored applications.

You create unlimited targeted campaigns using filters such as client hire ratios, spending history and screening questions. Proposals and answers to client questions are generated from cover letter templates and your knowledge base. Notifications go to Discord or Slack, a manual approval mode lets you approve or reject proposals from your phone, and you can set auto-apply delays and alerts for running out of connects or failed bids.

Control features include an overview of leads across campaigns, manual proposal editing, boosting good jobs, scheduling bids and rejecting unsuitable leads. Analytics track proposal success across campaigns and accounts from one dashboard, and an academy of onboarding videos teaches profile setup and campaign configuration. Lancer is a hosted service with a pricing page.
