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

What if finding work didn’t mean refreshing job boards or fighting the algorithm?

With Indy AI, we are reimagining what it means to find work by designing something that listens quietly in the background and surfaces warm, high-signal leads in your network without the noise.

Not just a feature, but a new way of finding work. One that respects your time.

Seeing people uncover real opportunities they would’ve otherwise missed has been incredibly validating. Excited for more independents to tap into what's already around them.

It's amazing to see such a large pain point being solved for independent freelancers.

As a member of the Contra dev team, I got to see all of the hard work put into developing this feature.
It's such an impressive combination of cutting edge LLM usage, in tandem with scraping hundreds of thousands social posts every hour.

Can't wait to see this helps people find jobs they never would have noticed before!

I've been a user of Contra for months now in my work with clients and the payment process is super smooth, I love it! So glad to see Indy AI launched and can't wait to use it!

I've been using Indy AI for my FlutterFlow agency and it's done a great job of identifying job opportunities I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise.

The best jobs come from your network. No more submitting applications into the void or chasing cold leads that go nowhere.

With Indy AI, we set out to make that warm intro, that hidden opportunity, that “oh wow, I didn’t know they were hiring” moment happen more often, and with less effort.

It scans your network quietly, cuts through the noise, and brings you closer to work that’s relevant, timely, and connected to you.

I am super proud of what this team has built along some great freelancers we received valuable feedback from. I can't wait to see how Indy takes our freelancers' businesses to new heights!

We all know the job hunt is broken. Finding a new job becomes a part time job.

Indy AI is here to help independents reclaim their time by surfacing warm leads from their network.

Work should find you, not the other way around.

It's been amazing to see all of the opportunities Indy has found for our community already. The future of work is here.

Our team obsesses day and night over what the future of independent work should look like -- and when it comes to growing your independent business, that's certainly not cold outreach, scrolling for opportunities on outdated job boards, and taking time away from your craft to chase stale gigs. That chapter is closed 🚪👋

Far and away, the best opportunities come from our personal networks: warm connections and referrals, positive feedback loop communities of humans helping each other. In 2025, it's in these positive spaces that we want to spend our time.

So, we leaned into what we know and built IndyAI to reimagine how this all works.

Indy analyzes every post in your network on Contra, LinkedIn, and X, and filters the signal from the noise so you don't have to. It's tailored to your opportunity preferences and profile, and only surfaces the opportunity posts relevant to you. It's a tasteful, fast, effective use of AI that automates tedium to give you time back to focus on your craft, and it's always running in the background. Indy never stops.

It's everything I wish I had 10 years ago. Full stop.

On a personal note, this is the most rewarding thing I've worked on. The problem that we're solving hits so close to home, and just a few years ago, this wouldn't even have been possible. Behind the scenes, Indy has already analyzed millions of posts and surfaced opportunities to folks that would have been buried otherwise. I can't wait to see how y'all use it!

Super proud of the whole team! More big splashes to come from us soon...

I’ve been using Indy AI by Contra for the past week and ... wow. Honestly, my expectations weren't super high but that's on me - because I should have known better. The Contra team never does anything low quality and I think they've really created something special here.

Indy AI isn’t just a job aggregator. It actually scans your LinkedIn and Twitter/X network, analyzes the connections, and serves up warm, relevant opportunities tailored to your skills and interests. You’re not just applying to jobs, you're tapping into your own web of connections with context. This is how the future of work should ... work.

Massive respect to the Contra team for continuing to innovate. They’re not just building features, they’re redefining how our industry is shaped.

Just when I think Contra has done everything humanly possible to streamline my freelance experience… they drop something wild like Indy AI 🫣

I barely even notice job posts on my X feed most of the time, but Indy somehow manages to scan thousands of posts in seconds and surface those hidden gem / lost media opportunities that actually feel like a great match!


Already feels like one of the most useful tools in the freelance space. Hoping to land something through it soon! ⚡️

Congrats on the launch!
