See whether proposals you send within 5 minutes of a job being posted, or among its first 3 applicants, get more replies. A third card shows your reply rate by weekday and hour and names your best hour.
The cards sit on the Overview dashboard and follow its account and filter picker. Previously they showed auto-bids only, now they include the proposals you send yourself.
You can now switch the dashboard to a dark theme that's easier on your eyes at night.
You can now ask the AI Agent why clients don't reply, which filters miss good jobs or where your connects go, and it answers from your proposals and Upwork market data.
You can now ask Claude or ChatGPT about your jobs, proposals and reply rate, or manage your filters and auto-bidding from the chat.
Set up the connector on the MCP page in your settings.
You can now describe the kinds of jobs worth a boost, such as larger projects or clients who hire often, and auto-bidding boosts only the jobs that match one.
Choose Smart boost under Proposal boosting in your auto-bidding setup, and add a case for each kind of job.
You can now describe when each work sample fits, and the AI attaches the right files to each proposal and says why.
Previously, every proposal carried the same files. Now, in a template's Attachments step, you add a case: describe the job, such as a client who needs a payments app, and add its files. Files under Sent with every proposal still go out each time.
You can now talk rates, proposals and slow months in groups matched to your verified Upwork earnings.
Open Chat in the top menu to join.
You can now see every version, preview and sent proposal of a template in one place, with what changed and a word-by-word comparison of any two letters.
Open the Activity step of the proposal template.
Market Insights now scores each niche from 0 to 100 by how crowded it is and how often its jobs end in a hire, and lists the keywords your filter misses.
You can now see how crowded a niche is on Upwork, how often proposals there get replies and what clients pay, before you spend connects on it.
Open Insights and set the keywords for your niche. You'll see applicants per job, average rates and budgets, and which skills are gaining or losing momentum. Your own view rate and reply rate on the same jobs sit next to the market's.
Your hourly bid can now follow the client's budget range, within the minimum and maximum you set.
Choose Smart under Hourly rate in the Job terms step of a proposal template.
You can now choose table or card view, the columns you see and what each job's main button does, and your feed updates as you change them.
Click Compare in a cover letter preview to write the same letter with a second AI model, then click Use this model on the better one to make it the template's model.
Each proposal and invitation can now become a Pipedrive deal that moves through your stages as the client views, replies and hires. You can also log them to an Airtable base or a Google Sheet.
Connect any of them in Integrations.
When you preview a proposal template, you now see the letter the way it looks in Upwork's list of applicants, so you can check the first lines the client reads.
You can now tell the AI what to change in a proposal, like "make it shorter", and it rewrites only that part.
You'll find it in the dashboard's proposal editor, in auto-bidding and in the Chrome extension on Upwork's apply page. Type what to change under the letter, or pick one of the suggestions.
Each proposal and invitation now becomes a ClickUp task that moves through your statuses as the client views, replies and hires.
Connect ClickUp in Integrations.
Your portfolio pieces and case studies can now go out with every proposal, without attaching them each time.
Add the files in the template's Attachments step.
We now buy connects for you before you run out, so a low balance doesn't stop your bids overnight.
Turn on Auto top-up Connects in Auto Bidding settings, then set the balance to top up at, how many connects to buy each time and your monthly limit. Each top-up is charged to your Upwork billing method, and the top-up history lists every one.
When a client replies to a proposal, the teammates you pick now join the Upwork chat right away, so they can answer without access to the bidding profile.
Turn on Invite teammates to chat in Auto Bidding settings.
You can now split your auto-bids between two or more templates and see which one gets more replies.
In an auto-bidding setup, click A/B test another template and set each template's share. Choose reply rate or view rate as the winning metric, and the test can pick the winner for you when it ends. Every test's results are on the A/B tests page.
You can now get a score, the weakest parts and suggestions for any Upwork profile, yours or someone else's.
Previously, Profile Audit needed the Chrome extension to read the profile. Now you click Audit by URL and paste the link.
You can now score your Upwork profile, or any agency member's, and get a stronger rewrite for each weak part, such as your title.
Open Profile Audit and run an audit to see the score and a short summary. Every audit stays on the page, so you can see your progress as you improve your profile.
Each job your filter matches is now checked against rules you write in plain words, so you spend connects only on jobs that fit.
Add the rules on the filter's AI Qualifier page. Every job then shows Qualified or Disqualified with the reason, and your alerts can carry only the qualified ones.
You can now get a cover letter and answers to the client's questions for any job in your filter with one click, then edit the letter before you apply.
Apply on Upwork then opens the job's apply form with both already filled in.
One tap on a job alert now gets you a cover letter and answers to the client's questions, so you can apply on Upwork from your phone.
You can now approve or skip each job in Telegram or Slack before auto-bidding sends its proposal, so a poor fit doesn't cost you connects.
Turn on Notifications in your auto-bidding setup and connect Telegram or Slack. Each job arrives as a message, where you can also edit the answers to the client's questions or change the bid.
Click Generate with AI, and we write the AI instructions for your cover letters from your Upwork profile, ready for you to edit.
Every Monday, you get last week's proposals, connects spent, view rate and reply rate for each of your Upwork profiles.
We now send a proposal to each job your filters match, on your schedule, so you bid while the job is still fresh.
Create a setup in Auto Bidding: choose the filters and the proposal template, then set the hours to bid in under Bidding schedule. Turn on Proposal boosting to boost proposals with extra connects.
Each letter now sounds like you and fits what the client hires for.
You can now put your own and your teammates' Upwork profiles side by side, even without an agency, and compare how each one performs.
Click New group in Upwork accounts and add the profiles. Then pick the group in the Dashboard's profile menu to see their proposals, replies and hires together.
Pick one of your proposal templates on Upwork's apply page, and we write the letter from it and your profile, so you don't start from a blank page.
You pick the template in the extension's sidebar. Add your own context there, or click Regenerate for a new version.
You can now see every proposal you or your agency team sends, with the connects it cost and where it ended.
Open Dashboard to read the cover letter that went out with each one. Filter By Freelancer to see one teammate's proposals.
