Indy AI by Contra - Job boards are dead. Your network is alive
by•
Indy AI flips how independents find work. It connects to your LinkedIn and X, scans your extended network, and surfaces warm opportunities in your Contra feed. No job boards. No hustle. Just real opportunities from people you already know.

@lucas_poelman Thanks for the support Lucas!

@matt_1110 Yay love hearing that Matt!
After using this, I think this tool is great for professionals looking for leads by cutting out the time spent searching for someone needing your service or dealing with unresponsive contacts. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves over time. Cause it seriously looks like a game changer imo
One small thing I would like, is to see the opportunies that it found explicity separated from the ones found from the other sources. As it is now, I have to go through them individually to know.

@marc_marriott Great feedback! I will pass this along to the team!
@Contra Congrats on the launch of Indy AI! 🎉 I'm really impressed by the ambition to make opportunity searching obsolete. Connecting to LinkedIn and X is a clever move, leveraging existing networks. My question is, how sophisticated is the AI in discerning subtle cues or implied opportunities within network posts, beyond just obvious keywords? Does it excel at understanding context rather than just direct job listings?
Indy AI is a big fail. From 3 found opportunities today - one is on-site required in London (Im in Spain), second one is a full-time (I'm not interested in full-time, why should I??) and the third one was a project presentation and not a job opportunity. I'm so sad to see Contra dying
Tried Indy AI this morning, already surfaced a post I’d missed from someone I met at a hackathon. Feels like a cheat code for freelancers.

Love how Contra just shows similar products right away—makes comparing stuff so much easier, tbh. Super smart move by the team!

Finding similar products in one spot is honestly such a time-saver, ngl. Super smart way to cut down on endless googling, fr!
"Job boards are dead. Your network is alive" leads me to believe this is a full-time role hiring agent. The copy is confusing as a reader and it does not immediately scream "freelance"

@ryan_larson1 This is great feedback! Technically Indy AI could be used for freelance and full time job opportunities!
