Everything you need to use Proposio well

Create your account and finish onboarding

Sign up with Google and you land in a short onboarding form. This is the single highest-leverage screen in the product: everything the AI writes later is grounded in what you enter here.

• Your title and skills — be specific. "Webflow developer, ecommerce" beats "web developer".
• Years of experience and your rate range, so quotes come out in your actual band.
• Tone of voice — professional, friendly, direct, or a custom description of how you write.
• Optional but worth it: paste your Upwork profile or upload a CV so the AI has real projects to reference.

Install the Chrome extension

The web app works on its own, but the extension is where most of the time is saved: it reads the job post you are looking at, shows the match score next to the listing, and fills the finished proposal into Upwork's own form. Install it, sign in once, and pin it to your toolbar.

Find jobs worth applying to

There are three ways in, and you can mix them freely. The Upwork tab is the main workspace: it collects the jobs the extension sees while you browse Find Work, so your feed is exactly what you would have searched anyway. The Jobs tab pulls from other boards, and the extension itself works on any Upwork page you happen to open.

Read the match score before spending Connects

Every job gets a 0–100 fit score with a short explanation: which of your skills line up, what is missing, and what the post signals about the client. Treat it as a filter, not a verdict — a 60 you genuinely understand is a better bid than an 85 you do not.

Generate the proposal

One click produces a full cover letter: an opening that names the client's actual problem, the relevant part of your background, how you would approach the work, and a closing question. It uses your tone setting and your profile, so it should already sound broadly like you.

Edit the two or three lines only you could write

This is the step people skip, and it is the one that wins jobs. Add the specific detail the AI cannot know: a similar project you finished, a constraint you spotted in the brief, a question that shows you read it properly. Sixty seconds of editing changes how the whole thing reads.

Send it from Upwork itself

On the Upwork submit page, open the Proposio widget and the finished text drops into the cover letter field. Review it there, set your terms, and submit yourself. Proposio never presses send for you.

Track what actually worked

Mark each proposal as sent, replied, interviewed or won. After twenty or so, Analytics stops being decoration: you can see which categories, budgets and score ranges actually convert for you, and stop bidding on the ones that never do.

Teach it your voice

Templates save the structures you reuse — a discovery-call opener, a fixed-scope quote, a follow-up. AI Training goes further: paste proposals you actually sent and liked, and later drafts drift toward that phrasing instead of the generic default.

Turn on automation when you trust it

Auto-bid watches your feed and pre-drafts proposals for jobs above a match threshold you set. By default those land as drafts for you to review — that is the mode worth starting in. Raise the threshold if you get more drafts than you want to read.
