AI for freelancers
Short answer: yaven is a private AI teammate for freelance designers, brand strategists, copywriters and other independent creatives who run their own client business. It learns your portfolio and your past clients, spots companies with a reason to need your work right now, and drafts a short note in your voice with your closest project attached. It also tells you when a past client is worth getting back in touch with. You keep the craft. yaven helps keep the work coming. We're opening places a few at a time, starting with agencies and studios, so freelancers can join the waitlist today.
Feast or famine, without a sales team
When you're freelance, you are the new-business team. While you're busy on a project, nobody is looking for the next one, so the work arrives in waves. The fix isn't more cold email. It's noticing the right moment with the right people, and following up with past clients before they hire someone else.
What yaven does for a freelancer
- Learns what you're best at from your site, portfolio and the clients you've worked with.
- Watches for the moment. It looks through hiring, posts, profile changes, news, funding rounds, launches, rebrands and new marketing leads for companies that might need you now.
- Matches your best proof to each opportunity, so your first message shows you've done this before.
- Writes like you. Short notes in your tone, ready to edit.
- Keeps past clients warm. A weekly keep-in-touch card shows who you haven't spoken to and why now might be a good time.
- Stays private. Your memory and writing style stay on your Mac, and AI drafting uses Anthropic's Claude. We never train models on your business or client data, and nothing goes to a client until you approve it.
