Pulls relevant screening answers straight into the form.
The one-click injection saves my wrists every single day.
Pricing tier is a bit steep if you are just starting out.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Each proposal is drafted from the actual job post in front of you — title, description and required skills — instead of a reusable template.
The client's screening questions are answered alongside the cover letter, so the whole application is prepared in one pass.
Generated text is placed directly into Upwork's proposal form, or can simply be copied if you prefer to paste it yourself.
Choose from four tones and three lengths, and switch between multiple saved profiles — one per type of work — with a default set.
Drafts use only the experience you wrote; nothing is fabricated. It also follows instructions hidden in the job post and writes in the post's language.
Copalat, previously published under the name Upwork GPT, is a Chrome extension aimed at freelancers who send a high volume of Upwork proposals. The premise is simple: clients only see the first couple of lines of each bid, so spending those lines on the client's own problem matters more than any template. Copalat scrapes the job title, description, skills and screening questions from the page you are viewing and uses that context to draft a cover letter written for that specific client.
The workflow stays inside Upwork. You open a job, click Apply, and a panel appears in the corner of the proposal form. You choose a saved profile, a tone (professional, friendly, confident or concise) and a length (short, medium or detailed), then generate. Each draft draws only on the experience you stored in your profile, so it does not invent clients, numbers or links, and it follows any hidden instruction in the post such as starting with a particular word. You press Insert to place the cover letter and each screening answer into the form, edit if needed, and submit yourself.
The extension is deliberately non-autonomous: it drafts and fills fields only when you click Insert, never spends Connects and never acts on your account. It runs only on Upwork proposal pages, saves several profiles (one per kind of work, with a default), and keeps recent proposals for reuse. Paid plans are metered by proposal count and billed monthly through Stripe.
Send more proposals in a working session by generating a tailored first draft for each job and spending your time editing instead of staring at a blank field.
Have the cover letter and every screening answer prepared together so you no longer skip jobs that ask several qualification questions.
Keep a separate saved profile for each service you offer and pick the right one per job so the pitch matches the work you are bidding on.
Generate proposals in the language of the job post and choose a tone that fits the client, without drafting the first version from scratch.
