Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started with EarlyBird.

Is Earlybird AI safe to use with my Upwork account?

Yes. Earlybird is built from the ground up with account safety in mind. It mimics real human behavior, uses clean IPs from your region, and never stores your password. With over 10,000 proposals sent and $500K+ in closed deals, there have been zero account flags or bans.

How fast does Earlybird AI submit proposals and replies?

Lightning fast. Earlybird submits proposals within 10 minutes of a job posting and replies to leads in under 5 minutes — automatically. That means you're often the first freelancer a client sees and hears from, significantly boosting your chances of getting hired.

How does Earlybird AI know which jobs are a good fit?

It learns from you. Just mark which jobs you'd apply to (or skip), and Earlybird adapts. Over time, the AI filters out low-quality jobs and delivers higher-quality leads that match your niche — improving performance the longer you use it.

What makes Earlybird AI different from other Upwork automation tools?

Most tools stop at sending proposals. Earlybird AI goes further — it’s the only platform that both submits proposals and replies to leads instantly, 24/7. That means you're first to apply and first to reply, which massively increases your chances of getting hired. It finds jobs, customizes proposals, handles messages like a human, shares your calendar, and books calls — all from your Upwork account. No other tool handles the full sales cycle like Earlybird AI.

Will this actually save me time — or just create more work?

It saves hours per day. Users report cutting operations in half and replacing full-time SDRs with Earlybird. You only step in when there’s a booked call. Everything else — search, submit, chat, and follow-up — is handled for you.

Does it work for agencies with multiple freelancers?

Yes. Earlybird supports multi-user workflows and multiple bidders. Whether you manage one freelancer or twenty, it scales seamlessly — while keeping everything aligned with your agency brand and tone.

What kind of results should I expect?

Strong engagement and real revenue upside. Most users see a 12%+ reply rate — that’s 24 warm leads from every 200 proposals. Some agencies have closed $60K in just a few weeks, and one hit $1M ARR in under 90 days. For many, landing just one new client more than pays for the platform — often within the first month.
