FindUp
Free AI Upwork project finder and proposal writer that runs entirely on your device.
The story
Overview
FindUp is an on-device AI tool designed to help freelancers on Upwork find high-quality project matches and write compelling proposals faster. It works by reading your Upwork profile (skills, rate, work history), running up to 8 AI-generated search queries to gather fresh job listings, and scoring each project on a 0-100 scale based on skill overlap, budget fit, client quality, competition level, and keyword relevance. The tool then drafts proposals in your unique voice by learning from your past proposals and edits, ensuring each pitch sounds authentically like you. All processing happens locally on your device using Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model—no data is sent to any server, no third-party AI is involved, and no analytics are collected. You maintain full control: FindUp surfaces matches and drafts proposals, but you always review and submit them yourself. Hunt Mode can run in the background every 20 minutes, notifying you only when genuinely hot matches appear (score 85+, fewer than 5 proposals, posted within 2 hours).

Yes. FindUp has no backend server. Your profile, messages, proposals, and writing-style model live only in chrome.storage.local on your device. There are no analytics, telemetry, or third-party AI calls.
Does FindUp auto-submit proposals for me?
No. FindUp never auto-applies or auto-submits anything. It surfaces matches and drafts proposals—you always review and submit yourself.
What AI model does it use?
Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano, accessed through the Prompt, Writer, and Summarizer APIs. It runs entirely on your device with no OpenAI, Google AI Studio, or API keys.
What are the system requirements?
Chrome 138+ on Windows 10+, macOS 13+, Linux, or ChromeOS. You need ~22 GB free disk space for the one-time model download, plus >4 GB GPU VRAM or 16 GB RAM with a 4-core CPU.
How much does FindUp cost?
FindUp is completely free. Because all AI runs locally, there are no usage costs, subscriptions, or accounts to create.
