A freelance desk that never sleeps

Most of freelancing is finding the work and the paperwork around it. Give your agent its own email address and an office suite, and it watches for jobs that fit, drafts the proposals for your yes, and writes the offers and invoices when you win.

Set it up

Step by step.

Step 101

Install the kits

Open Extensions from your server page and install AgentMail, LibreOffice and Telegram Bridge (all free). Each kit installs onto your POCKETCORP and adds its own page to your server page.

Step 202

Give your agent its own address

On the AgentMail page, pick the address your agent should have (like maya-assistant@agentmail.to) and your own email, then type in the 6-digit code AgentMail sends you. No account to create first, no key to copy.

Step 303

Put your agent in Telegram

Open the Telegram Bridge page from your server page, scan the code with your phone and tap Create bot in Telegram. Your agent now has a private bot that answers only you: no BotFather, no tokens to copy.

Step 404

Tell it who you are

Write a short profile into ~/agent-workspace/profile.md (or ask your agent to draft it from your website): what you do, your best projects, your rates, the work you don’t take. Then sign up for the job alerts of the platforms and newsletters you use with your agent’s new address.

Then just ask

Your setup, at work.

Send these to your agent in the chat on your POCKETCORP page, or from Telegram or WhatsApp. Change the details to yours.

A daily job watch
Every morning, go through the job alerts in your inbox, pick the ones that fit my profile in ~/agent-workspace/profile.md, and send me the best three with a two-line reason each.
Draft a proposal
Draft a proposal for the second job: short, specific to their brief, with two relevant projects from my profile and a price range. Show it to me before anything goes out.
Write the offer
Make an offer as a Writer document and a PDF for Studio Lindner: website redesign, three pages, €2,400, delivery in three weeks, my standard terms.

Take it further

Make it yours.

The same setup, doing more: ask for these once it runs.

Invoices
When I tell you a project is done, make the invoice in LibreOffice with the next number, save the PDF to ~/Documents/invoices and email it from your address with me in copy.
A time sheet
Keep a time sheet in ~/Documents/hours.xlsx: when I message ‘started’ and ‘stopped’ with a client name, log the hours, and total them per client every Friday.
Payment reminders
If an invoice is unpaid 14 days after it went out, draft a friendly reminder and ask me before sending it.

The result

Fewer evenings on job boards, proposals ready when you are, and the paperwork done the moment the work is.

Your agent is ready when you are.

A freelance desk that never sleeps runs on a POCKETCORP: a computer of its own for your AI agent. Base is free for 14 days.
