I've been using Contra for the last few years and love it! I'm excited for AI as I'm always scrolling through my network on both X and LinkedIn for work on a daily basis. Now I can spend more time focused on ideas and doing what I love versus having to sift through posts to find opportunities applicable to me.

 more time focused on ideas and doing what you love! That's the key 💯

 Indy AI = more time back!

 you've been on Contra since the beginning! can't wait to see how Indy 10xs your job search

I've been using Contra for almost a year to connect with great clients—and Indy AI is exactly the kind of smart evolution I hoped for. Anything that cuts through the noise and gets real work in front of the right people? Yes, please. Big congrats to the team on this launch 👏

 appreciate it Danyelle! Love to hear that you've had success connecting with great clients 🔥

 Real work in front of the right people ✔️✔️✔️

 thanks for your kind words, Danyelle!! I love that Indy has been helpful for you already

I have to say, as one of the first users, I am immediately impressed. the AI is great at targeting and filtering.
It takes a lot of the stress out of the job hunting process. Great work, team, keep it up!

 Thanks Lee, we love to hear it! Especially that it takes out the stress.

 taking away stress was the goal! Thanks Lee. Glad to hear it's been helpful for you!

 from stressed to booked & blessed 🚀

Absolutely blown away by Indy and how it changes so much for freelancers and creators like myself. The intuitive design and AI-driven personal assistant removes all the friction I'm used to, making it almost seamless. Kudos for launching something both elegant and powerful!

 This is so amazing to hear! We love that the feature solves a pain point for you!

 We love to hear that Dheeraj!!

 thank you so much for your support!

Yes. A million times yes. I have never seen a product like this that doesn’t disrupt your workflow or isn’t only there to ride the AI trend ultimately not working as expected. Until today. After just a week of testing I feel Indy will become a big part of every freelancers journey on Contra.

 yes!! Love to hear that it's become such a seamless part of your workflow

 YES YES YES you get it!!!

I've been using Contra for several years now (before Contra Portfolios launched!) and it has been the best and most successful freelancing platform I've used. I've never had a bad experience with clients and Contra's features keeps freelancers safe. I'm happy to have been here through all of their innovative launches and I'm thrilled that Indy AI is here. Looking forward to watching this feature help out so many more independents and myself.

 thanks for being here to support Contra's journey, Julia! Lifting up independents is what it's all about

 Damn thank you Julia for supporting us since before the Portfolio launch. So much more to come!

LOVE Contra and everything they're doing! As a freelancer, Contra's platform has such an amazing community and so many awesome opportunities. They're constantly updating and improving the platform, and releasing INSANE features, like Indy!

 the community is everything. More insane feature, coming right up!

 Thanks Georgia! So happy you are back to freelancing and crushing it!

This is a game changer! Can't wait to try!

 Thanks for the feedback, Asafe! 🎉 We'd love to hear your thoughts once you've had a chance to try it!

 can't wait to hear what you think!

 Let us know once you try it! Can't wait to hear what you think!

So interesting! Will there be opportunities for Indy to go an extra step and pull in extra details such as what others have been saying in terms of the company that's advertising the opportunity?

 That's a great idea! Definitely something we could surface in the future!

 we are definitely working on a lot of updates to Indy, coming soon! thanks for checking it out :)

As an independent professional, I'm genuinely blown away of Indy AI by Contra! 🤯 finding quality opportunities used to mean for me hours of endless scrolling and searching across multiple platforms. But Indy AI just told me it's "Scanning 3,972 posts today for opportunities". TODAY! Just WOW. That's the kind of scale I could never achieve on my own in one day. As a freelancer you wear a lot of hats to run your business and each element has it's own depth to it, but applying to opportunities takes time: searching for keywords, reading posts and jobs and thinking does this even match with my skills? And I'm not even getting in to the rest of it, IYKYK!

From what I tested, here is what it means for an independent like me:

1.- Automated opportunity discovery: No more endless scrolling for me through different job board platforms

2.- Intelligent matching: Indy AI understands my skills, finds relevant work and shows it all to me in one place

3.- Time-saving: I can focus on what I do best while Indy AI handles the search


The Contra team has always championed independent workers, and Indy AI feels like the next evolution of that mission. This isn't just a tool, it's like having a dedicated assistant working 24/7.

Can't wait to see what's next! Huge kudos to the Contra team for always thinking about us independents. 🙌

 Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful feedback, Erika! So happy to hear that Indy is already starting to deliver value to your workflow. There's going to be a lot more to come!

 I'm so glad Indy has been helpful for you already! here's to the future of work 🍻
