Help Shape an AI Tool for Freelance Developers

I'm building a smarter assistant for freelance developers — and I need your input.

If you're a freelance dev tired of tracking time, chasing payments, or writing proposals — this is for you.

Hi, I'm Ryan 👋

I'm a developer and solo founder building a smarter way to handle the business side of freelancing.

While I'm not a freelancer myself, I've spoken to many who are — and I'm trying to learn directly from real experience so I don't make assumptions.

This project is early-stage, and your insights will directly shape whether it's worth building — and how useful it can be.

About the Project

According to my initial research, it seems like freelance devs spend too much time on things that don't pay: tracking hours, chasing invoices, writing proposals, and managing clients.

I'm focused on building a lightweight AI assistant to take some of that off your plate and right now I'm in research mode, just trying to talk to experienced devs about what really sucks when it comes to running your freelance business.

I'm aware of some existing tools with some basic features that some freelancers use, but I want to hear how you actually handle this stuff — what's annoying, what's working, and what you wish existed.

How You Can Help

Provide feedback in the way that works best for you:

📞 Video/Voice Call

A casual 15-20 minute conversation to share your freelancing experience. No sales pitch, just honest feedback about what works and what doesn't in your business.

📝 Written Survey

A short questionnaire you can complete at your own pace, sharing your insights about freelance development and the challenges you face.

Both options are valuable, and you'll be able to select your preferred format in the quick screener below.
