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

I've been using Contra for the last few years and love it! I'm excited for Indy 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.

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 👏

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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?

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. 🙌
