Indy AI by Contra - Job boards are dead. Your network is alive

Hey everyone! I’m Henry. Engineer at Contra and part of the team behind Indy AI.

We built this to solve a pain we’ve all felt: job boards suck, and cold outreach burns you out. Indy AI flips that by quietly listening to your network on LinkedIn and X and surfacing warm, high-fit opportunities you might’ve missed.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done here. Seeing it go from prototype to launch, and already helping independents find real gigs has been absolutely surreal.

Maybe I'm biased, but to me, this is one of the best use cases of AI I've ever seen. Quiet, in the background, doing the boring work while we humans focus on what truly makes us human.

AI is not here to replace us, it's here to enhance us. At least that's the main idea behind Indy AI. I sincerely hope everyone enjoys using IndyAI as much as we enjoyed building it.

Contra has been my go-to since day one. It’s easily the best platform for independents. Thoughtful, intentional, and always evolving with what we actually need.

Their latest feature, Indy AI , is one of those things you didn’t know you needed until you tried it. Once I connected it to my LinkedIn and Twitter, I was genuinely impressed. It instantly pulled up freelance opportunities that were perfectly tailored to my skill set and niche. Even better, I could tell it the type of projects I’m currently interested in, and it would adapt in real time to show more relevant options.

The experience feels effortless. Within seconds, I’m looking at handpicked leads that align with my goals across platforms I already use.

Thank you, Contra, for continuing to innovate with freelancers in mind. This is exactly the kind of smart, strategic tool that makes me proud to be part of the Contra community.

Hey everyone 👋 Matt here from the Contra product team!

Today, we’re launching Indy, a personal assistant that supercharges your job search.

Indy builds a profile around what you do best and your work preferences, then scans thousands of posts across your network to surface the best opportunities, the ones most people miss.

I’m incredibly proud of what the team has built, and this is just the beginning. Our goal is to make it easier than ever for Independents to find work and earn more.

To the moon — the best is yet to come 🚀

Hi hunters! I’m VP of Brand at Contra, and part of the team behind Indy AI. While we know the use of AI can sometimes be polarizing for creatives, I’m really proud of the fact that we've built an AI powered tool that is solely focused on lifting up creative talent. Indy finds new opportunities on autopilot, so you can do literally anything else.

Because finding work shouldn’t feel like work.

Try it out! I'd love to know what you think.

Congrats on the launch of Indy - such a cool way for freelancers to find jobs without the hassle!

Exciting! Great to pull those signals of folks wanting help on various projects and then surfacing this to creators in their network.

So excited to finally share what we’ve been building!

It’s been incredibly rewarding to work on something that directly helps independents cut through the noise and uncover real opportunities. Less tab hopping and endless scrolling -- more time focusing on the work that matters.

This is only the beginning -- the best is yet to come! 💛🚀

Amazing product! It's very easy to use and definitely the product of the future! Excited for what's to come!!
Huge congratulations on the launch and good luck!!

Indy AI is literally what freelance dreams are made of. When I was freelancing, this would've 10x'd my whole lead generation and outreach process.

Linkedin, X and Contra jobs all in one tailored feed? Like are you kidding me??

So freaking excited we're making this live today!!

Hey all! Andre from the Partnerships team here at Contra 👋

I’ve been lucky enough to see Indy AI come together behind the scenes, and this launch feels different. It’s not about more noise or more hustle, it’s about using the networks we already have in smarter ways. If you’re an independent, this is an absolute game‑changer.

This will allow creative professionals to focus on what they love: the creative work. No more doomscrolling job boards and spending hours every week finding leads. This launch allows your network to work for YOU.

Give Indy a try and let us know your thoughts!
