What's inside Fred

  1. Manage and respond to activity alerts in Fred workspace

    The Alerts tab in the Fred workspace serves as a notification center for important events. Users can receive alerts for the following events: new invitations, updates to existing applications, reminders to complete profile details, and notifications for newly unlocked badges. Clicking on an alert directs the user back to the specific application, invitation, or profile section associated with that event.

  2. Ask strategic questions during client interviews

    To demonstrate professional maturity and evaluate a mission, ask the client about:

    • How success will be measured.
    • Who the decision-makers are.
    • What existing solutions or assets are already in place.
    • Calendar and deadline constraints.

  3. Explore compatible freelance missions with Fred

    Fred analyzes your user profile to identify opportunities that match your specific skills, rates, and current situation. You can refine these search results directly within the conversation without needing to manually update your profile information.

  4. Track and manage job applications in Fred

    To view an overview of all opportunities you have applied to, navigate to the Applications tab. From this view, you can see the current status of each application.

For users signing up via social providers, the system provides a guided flow to complete necessary account details.
