Contra

Contra is an AI-powered tool that helps freelancers and independent professionals find work. It acts as a career assistant that quietly scans your existing professional network to discover relevant projects and opportunities. Instead of you searching job boards, Contra's AI analyzes your skills, experience, and preferences to match you with potential work. It's designed to help your career grow by surfacing connections and projects you might otherwise miss.

The tool works as a Chrome extension, monitoring your network in the background. It uses AI to identify the best-fit opportunities for your expertise. A key feature is that it never posts or messages on your behalf—you maintain full control over your communications. To get the best results, you keep your Contra profile updated with your latest skills and portfolio pieces. Contra is included as part of a Contra Pro subscription, which provides access to this and other premium features for independent workers.

This tool is built for independent creatives and freelancers who want to spend less time hunting for gigs and more time doing the work. It's useful for professionals with established networks who want a smarter way to discover projects. By automating the initial discovery phase, Contra helps you focus on applying for and landing work that fits your career goals.
