The challenge
On Freelancer.com, good projects can appear at any hour, and quick replies stand a better chance of being read. Freelancers end up refreshing the feed between client calls, then writing a proposal in a hurry.
Template bid tools don't solve this. Sending the same text to every project spends bids on poor matches, and clients can tell when a proposal was never written for them.
Work posted overnight or during a client call can be well into its bidding before a freelancer sees it.
Bidding without checking skills and budget fit spends effort on projects unlikely to suit.
Automated bids are real bids, so a tool without clear limits can commit a freelancer to the wrong work.
The solution
A background scheduler polls the live Freelancer.com feed for each account, then drops projects by keyword, project type and budget range.
The chosen model scores the remaining projects in batches and explains each score. Anything below the user's minimum is skipped.
Each qualifying project gets a plain-text proposal written from the user's headline, skills, tone and signature. BidZero then bids or holds the draft for review.
Key features
Users add a key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or another supported provider, and choose separate models for scoring and proposals.
Business impact
Separate model per role
Several Freelancer accounts run side by side, each with its own profile, models, filters, schedule and bidding mode.
Business impact
Rules per account
Every project is recorded as bid, below threshold, filtered or duplicate, with its sub-scores and the AI's reason.

One-click approval
Autonomous mode bids as soon as a project qualifies. Approval mode keeps each proposal pending until the user reads it and decides.
Before: Fully manualAfter: Your choice
Trust and control
Approval mode is the default, and autonomous bidding is opt-in for each account.
Human reviewThe product states plainly that autonomous and approved bids are real and can't be reversed.
Clear warningsBidZero's site states that AI keys and Freelancer OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. A saved key's secret is not shown again.
Encrypted keysData is held per user, so one customer's accounts and logs stay apart from another's.
Per userFaster delivery
Each enabled account passes through these modules in the same order on every run.
Starts each account's run on its own interval and persists jobs through restarts.
Applies filters, batch scoring and the minimum score threshold.
Generates plain-text proposals from each account's profile and tone.
Holds AI keys and Freelancer OAuth tokens for each user.
BidZero is an AI auto-bidding assistant for Freelancer.com. After a user connects an account and sets rules, it checks the job feed on a schedule, filters and scores each new project for fit, writes a tailored proposal for those that qualify, then bids automatically or holds the proposal for approval.
Only in Autonomous mode, which a user has to turn on. Approval mode is the default and stores each drafted proposal as pending, so the freelancer can read it, place it with one click or reject it. The mode can be changed at any time and is set separately for each account.
BidZero works with a user's own key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, Perplexity, DeepSeek, xAI or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint such as Groq. Keys are validated when saved, and each account can use one model for scoring and another for proposals. AI usage is billed by the user's own provider.
If your team repeats the same review-and-respond routine all day, we can build an AI assistant with clear limits and an approval step.
