Win more clients.
Spend less time on admin.
A local AI assistant built for the solo operator. Proposals, client emails, invoicing follow-ups, and project scoping - without adding a monthly subscription to your overhead.
The reality
Freelancers wear every hat. You are the service provider, the salesperson, the account manager, the finance department, and the legal team. Every hour spent writing proposals, following up on invoices, or drafting client updates is an hour not doing billable work.
Cloud AI tools charge per message, which adds up fast. And they process your client communications - project details, commercial terms, client names - on external servers without you necessarily realising it.
How Skales helps freelancers
The AI business partner that runs on your machine and costs less than a coffee per month.
Proposals that win work
Describe the project brief and your approach, and Skales drafts a compelling proposal: executive summary, scope, methodology, timeline, and pricing structure. Professional, tailored, done fast.
Invoice and payment follow-up
Draft polite, persistent payment reminder emails that do not damage client relationships. Skales writes the first nudge, the second follow-up, and the firm final notice - all in your voice.
Client communication
Status update emails, scope change notifications, project kick-off confirmations - write them in seconds. Describe what happened and what the client needs to know. Skales does the drafting.
Project planning and scoping
Ask Skales to break down a project into a work breakdown structure with estimated time per task. Use it to sense-check your quote or identify tasks you forgot to price.
Contract templates
Draft simple service agreements, SOW documents, and NDAs. Skales produces a solid first draft based on your requirements. Always have a lawyer review before using for significant work.
No subscription, no overhead
Freelancers do not need another monthly expense. Skales is free for personal use. Bring your own API key and pay at provider rates. Or run fully offline with Ollama at zero ongoing cost.
Example: Responding to a new enquiry
You ask: "A client wants a 5-page website redesign with copywriting for a boutique hotel. Budget is around £4,000. Draft a professional proposal with scope, timeline, and deliverables."
Skales: A complete 4-section proposal with an executive summary, detailed scope, 6-week timeline, and payment terms.
You ask: "They asked for a 15% discount. I need to decline politely but offer a phased payment plan instead."
Skales: A professional response that preserves the relationship while holding your rate.
You ask: "Project is done. Write a closing email, ask for a testimonial, and suggest a retainer for ongoing updates."
Skales: A warm close-out email with a natural ask for a review and a soft upsell to ongoing work.
“I went from dreading proposals to sending them same day. My close rate went up.”
