The work is not only in writing proposals. It is in deciding where your time should go
The feed is noisy, most jobs are a weak fit, and connects get burned on work that was never right for you.
Job feed is a firehose
Hundreds of new jobs daily. Most of them are not for you. Scrolling through Upwork’s feed burns hours before you even start writing.
Bidding on bad-fit jobs
You spend 6-16 connects on a proposal, then realize the client wants on-site work, has no budget, or the “React job” is really a PM role. Those connects do not come back.
Writing from scratch every time
Every proposal starts with a blank page. No reference to the job post, no feedback from past proposals, no way to know what actually works.
A workflow built for freelancers
Use filters to narrow the field, notifications to move faster, qualifier to avoid bad-fit jobs, and proposal tools to write from a stronger starting point.
Filter the noise
Set up job filters with 30+ criteria — skills, budget range, client quality, location, job type — and only see jobs that match your niche.
Get notified instantly
Receive alerts via Slack, Telegram, email, or webhook the moment a matching job is posted. Apply while the client is still online.
Qualify before you bid
AI Job Qualifier reads the full posting and checks it against your rules. See a score and reasoning before you spend a single connect.
Draft stronger proposals
AI Proposal Generator creates a tailored draft from your template and the job context. Edit, improve, and submit — not write from scratch.
Everything you need in one place
No need to stitch together Upwork alerts, ChatGPT, and spreadsheets. Vollna gives you an end-to-end workflow.
30+ Job Filters
Filter by skills, budget, client spend, payment verified, hire rate, location, job type, experience level, and more. Only see jobs worth your time.
Instant Notifications
Get alerts via Slack, Telegram, email, or webhooks the moment a matching job is posted. Being first matters on Upwork.
AI Job Qualifier
Reads the full job posting, checks it against your criteria, and explains why a job fits or does not — before you spend connects. Learn more.
AI Proposal Generator
Creates a tailored cover letter draft from your template and the specific job context. You edit and improve it, not write from a blank page every time.
Proposal Analytics
Track view rates, reply rates, and which proposals get responses. Learn what works and improve your bidding strategy over time.

See qualification scores, generate proposals, and access your filters directly inside Upwork. No tab-switching needed.

Better than Upwork alerts + ChatGPT + spreadsheets
Most freelancers cobble together a workflow from free tools. Vollna replaces all of them with one integrated system.
Stitched together, always breaking
Multiple tools, no feedback loop, no real workflow.
- Upwork RSS/email alerts Slow, limited filters, no job scoring. You still read every post manually.
- ChatGPT for proposals No job context, no template system, no feedback on what works. You copy-paste job descriptions manually.
- Spreadsheets for tracking Manual data entry, no view/reply rate tracking, no way to learn what gets responses.
- No feedback loop No way to know which proposals get views, which get replies, or what is actually working.
One workflow, fully connected
Filter, qualify, draft, track, improve — in one place.
- 30+ filters + instant alerts Precise filtering by skills, budget, client quality, and more. Slack/Telegram/email alerts the moment a job matches.

- Proposals from your context AI Proposal Generator uses your template, the job post, and client details to create a tailored draft. Not a generic output.

FAQ
Common questions
How fast can I set up Vollna?
Most freelancers are set up in under 10 minutes. Create an account, install the Chrome extension, configure your first job filter, and you are ready to go.
The AI Qualifier and Proposal Generator become available as soon as you write a brief prompt describing your ideal jobs and proposal style.
Will proposals sound like they are AI-written?
No. The Proposal Generator uses your instructions to match your tone, voice, and style. It learns from how you write and adapts accordingly.
You control how client requirements are addressed, how portfolio links are included, and the type of opening hooks used—so proposals sound like you, not a robot.
How much time does Vollna actually save?
Freelancers report saving 1-2 hours per day on job hunting and proposal writing. The biggest time savings come from:
1. Not scrolling through hundreds of irrelevant jobs (filters handle this)
2. Not reading full postings for bad-fit jobs (qualifier handles this)
3. Not writing proposals from scratch every time (generator handles the first draft)
Does Vollna work without automation / auto-bidding?
Yes, absolutely. Vollna was built for manual bidders first. Filters, notifications, AI Qualifier, Proposal Generator, and analytics all work without auto-bidding.
Auto-bidding is an optional add-on for when you want to scale. Most freelancers use Vollna as a workflow tool for manual proposals, not for automation.
Is it safe to use with my Upwork account?
Vollna’s manual workflow does not submit proposals for you or require access to your Upwork credentials.
The Chrome extension adds context, qualification, and workflow tools around your normal process, and you still review and submit proposals yourself.
What if I do not like the AI-generated proposal?
You can edit it, regenerate it with different instructions, or ignore it and write your own. The proposal generator is a starting point, not a requirement. Many freelancers use it as inspiration and rewrite significant portions.
Does it work for my niche?
Vollna works for any Upwork freelancer. The job filters, qualifier, and proposal tools are fully customizable to your niche.
Whether you are a developer, designer, writer, marketer, or consultant — the workflow adapts to your criteria and writing style.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All paid plans are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period.
