Posting a brief

Describe the outcome you want. Builders propose how they'd build it.

Quick path

  1. Set up an employer profile at /employer/setup.
  2. Post a brief at /gigs/new.
  3. Builders submit proposals (approach + price + duration).
  4. You accept one → opens Stripe Checkout for the agreed amount.
  5. Payment → contract active → builder ships.

What to put in a brief

  • Title — concrete. "Voice receptionist for vet clinic".
  • What you want — outcome-first. Not "need AI dev"; instead "automate 60% of front-desk calls in DE+EN".
  • Constraints — must-haves (data residency, integrations, language).
  • Budget hint — optional but speeds matching. Don't haggle.
  • Deadline — when you need it ready.

What proposals you'll see

Each proposal includes: builder's approach (how they'd solve it, what stack), fixed price, duration in weeks, link to their profile + relevant cases. You can accept one or decline. Accepting closes the brief.
