Your past clients are your next booking.
FrontDesk already replies fast when a new inquiry lands. This is what it does with the clients who already trust you. A freelancer's quiet months are rarely a quality problem. The work was good. The client was happy. There is just nobody keeping track of when the natural moment to get back in touch arrives, so it does not happen. Or it happens as “just checking in,” which feels awkward for everyone.
What FrontDesk does
FrontDesk keeps track of your past clients and watches for the moments when getting in touch makes sense. A year since the last shoot. The season when their kind of business briefs new work. Each week it brings you two to four people worth a message, each with a specific reason, and writes the first email in your voice.
You edit whatever you want. You send it yourself, from your own inbox. FrontDesk never sends anything to anyone.
What FrontDesk knows about your clients
A client record holds their name, their company, what you did for them, when, roughly what it was worth, the email address so it can write to the right person, and any notes you add yourself. Notes can inform a draft, so what you put there matters. No phone numbers. No postal addresses. No company registration numbers. You can export everything and delete everything from day one, and your client data is used to write your emails and nothing else.
Why the emails are safe to send
Every reason comes from your own records. Every price comes from the rates you set up yourself, and a draft that invents a number is thrown away before it reaches you. FrontDesk never says you are free on a date, because it does not know your calendar. If something is wrong, you correct it and it stays corrected.
That is the whole design: the AI writes, the checks are ordinary code, and you decide.

What to charge before a job, and what is actually yours after payment. Free, no account, and your figures stay in your browser.
Where this is going
This part of FrontDesk is in private beta. Nothing is live for the public yet, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. We are putting together a first small group of freelancers to use it and tell us what is wrong with it. If you're a photographer, videographer, designer, illustrator, or another creative freelancer, join the list and stay top of mind when your best clients have their next project.
