What is Indy AI?
Indy AI is an AI-powered career assistant designed specifically for freelancers. By scanning users’ professional social networks such as LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter), and combining this data with skills, portfolios, and work experience on the Contra platform, Indy AI intelligently matches relevant job opportunities. The platform continuously optimizes its recommendation algorithms based on user feedback to ensure that suggested opportunities are accurate and valuable. Indy AI emphasizes privacy and user control: it does not post information or send messages without user permission, all data is encrypted, and users have full control over their professional image and communications.
