Getting Started

Install, sync, ship your first Upwork proposal in 5 minutes.

A four-step path from "I just heard about Upwex" to "I just submitted a proposal that took 30 seconds to write." Install the extension, sync your profile once, score a job with Check Fit, and let the AI cover letter generator do the rest. Your 7-day trial includes 20 AI credits and no card.

How it works

From install to first proposal in 5 minutes.

Seven steps. The first six are 0-1 AI credits each, well under your 20-credit trial budget. The seventh is optional automation for later.

  1. 01

    Install the Chrome extension

    Add Upwex from the Chrome Web Store. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Arc. No setup wizard, no Upwork API key. The Upwex icon appears in your browser bar.

    ~30 seconds Add to Chrome
  2. 02

    Create your Upwex account

    Sign up at account.upwex.io. Every new account starts on a 7-day free trial of the full product with 20 AI credits. No credit card required to start. Email + Google sign-in supported.

    ~1 minute Sign up

    Sync your Upwork profile

    Open your Upwork freelancer profile page (upwork.com/freelancers/~...). A Sync Profile button appears inline. One click pulls in your title, skills, portfolio, hourly rate, and availability. Costs zero AI credits - runs as a free data pull.

    ~30 seconds, 0 credits Profile Sync details
  4. 04

    Open any Upwork job, click Check Fit

    Open a job in your Upwork feed. The Upwex widget adds a Check Fit button right on the page. Click it. In about 5 seconds you get a 0-100 score, a GO / CAUTION / SKIP verdict, hidden client signals, and a list of red flags. Costs 1 AI credit per new job (re-opens are cached and free).

    ~5 seconds, 1 credit Check Fit details
  5. 05

    Generate a cover letter for the job

    On a GO verdict, hit Generate in the same widget. The AI reads the full job posting and your synced profile, then writes a job-specific cover letter (about 150-220 words) in your voice. Screening questions are answered in the same call. Costs 1 AI credit.

    ~10 seconds, 1 credit Cover Letter Generator details
  6. 06

    Click Autofill and review

    On Upwork's Submit a Proposal page, click Upwex's Autofill button. Every field is filled (cover letter, screening answers, hourly rate) using human-paced typing so Upwork's validation accepts it. The form is ready - read it, edit anything, then hit Upwork's own Send button.

    ~30 seconds, 0 credits Proposal Autofill details
What you'll have by day's end

Your first 24 hours with Upwex.

Concrete outcomes - not promises. These are the things every freelancer with a synced profile and a few credits gets done in the first day.

Your Upwork profile, synced once

Title, skills, portfolio links, hourly rate, and availability live in Upwex. Every AI generation from here on writes in your voice instead of a generic freelancer template. Re-sync any time your Upwork profile changes.

15-20 jobs scored before you bid

Check Fit costs 1 AI credit per fresh job. Out of your 20-credit trial you can score 15-20 new jobs and re-open as many cached results as you want for free. The bad-fit ones get flagged before you spend a single Upwork Connect.

Your first AI cover letter, in 10 seconds

On any GO verdict, one click generates a 150-220 word cover letter built from the actual job posting and your synced profile. You can read it, edit it, and rewrite a paragraph with the Improve button before you submit.

A submitted proposal in 30 seconds

Generated cover letter plus screening answers plus your hourly rate, dropped into Upwork's proposal form in one click via Autofill. You review the form Upwork shows, then hit Send. About 30 seconds for the whole bid instead of 10-15 minutes.

FAQ

Common questions about getting started.

OK, I installed it - what do I do first?
Sign up for an Upwex account if you have not already, then click the Upwex icon in your browser, open your Upwork freelancer profile, and hit Sync Profile. That is the foundation every other feature reads from. From there, open any job in your feed and click Check Fit to see how it works.
Will I get banned for using Upwex on Upwork?
Upwex is built to keep you in control: you review every proposal before it is sent, Autofill uses human-paced typing rather than instant injection, and nothing is submitted without your action. Auto-Bidding is opt-in and respects per-day caps and a minimum match score. Upwex is a third-party tool though - Upwork can change its stance, and the risk is yours to accept.
Does Upwex need my Upwork password?
No. Upwex never asks for or stores your Upwork password. It works inside your already-logged-in Upwork tab. CRM integrations connect via OAuth, which you can revoke at any time.
Will my 20 trial credits be enough to see if it works?
Yes. Profile Sync and Proposal Autofill cost zero credits. Check Fit and the AI Cover Letter Generator cost 1 credit per new job. With 20 credits you can score 15-20 fresh Upwork jobs, draft cover letters on the good ones, and submit a handful of proposals - more than enough to see whether the workflow fits before deciding on a paid plan.
What happens when the 7 days end?
Your account stays, your profile sync stays, and your saved templates stay. You pick a paid plan (Lite, Pro, or Max) to keep generating with AI. If you do not pick a plan, the account stays in a read-only state until you do - nothing is auto-billed because no card was on file.
Does Upwex work on Brave, Edge, Arc, or only Chrome?
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Arc are all supported - any Chromium-based browser. Firefox is not supported. There is no mobile app because the Upwex tools run inside Upwork pages, which the Upwork mobile app does not expose extensions to.

Your next Upwork proposal could be 30 seconds away.

7-day trial. 20 AI credits. No card. Install takes one click. The first proposal takes about five minutes total - including signup and Profile Sync.
