# What is Quikly.ai?

> AI-powered proposal generator for freelancers, agencies, and technical consultancies that sell software projects.

Quikly.ai turns messy briefs into professional, ready-to-sign proposals — with scope protection, market-calibrated rates, risk analysis, and e-signature built in.

You describe your project (a brief, notes, a forwarded email, or a Jira import), and Quikly's AI engine analyzes scope, estimates effort, suggests pricing, and generates a complete document your client can review, sign, and pay — all from a single link.

## Who is Quikly for?

* **Freelancers and PMs** — consulting-grade proposals without the overhead.
* **Dev shops and agencies** — multi-team proposals with protected margins and standardized processes.
* **Technical consultancies and sales teams** — scope that justifies your rate, so your BD team can draft proposals without waiting on developers.

## What you can do

**Six proposal types** cover every engagement model in software services:

| Type               | When to use it                                               |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Technical Proposal | Fixed-scope projects with detailed estimates per requirement |
| Hour Bucket        | Pre-paid hour blocks for maintenance or variable work        |
| Time & Materials   | Hourly billing with rate cards and configurable budget caps  |
| Retainer           | Monthly recurring hours at a discounted rate                 |
| Milestone-Based    | Payments tied to deliverables with acceptance criteria       |
| Staff Augmentation | Dedicated team allocation across project phases              |

**Quimy, your AI assistant**, analyzes briefs, scores quality, suggests rates, generates delivery conditions and risk analysis, and evaluates your proposal across six axes before you send it.

**Share with one link** — your client reviews the proposal, asks questions via chat, signs electronically with full audit trail (IP, timestamp, document hash), and you move to payment. No account required to view.

**Integrate with your stack** — REST API, MCP server for AI-native tools, webhooks, Telegram bot, sales widget, and export to Jira, Linear, GitHub, and Asana.

**Discovery Copilot** ([extension guide](/guides/discovery-copilot-extension)) — live transcription and discovery coaching in **Google Meet**, **Zoom Web**, and **Microsoft Teams Web**, authenticated with your Quikly API key and connected to clients and deals.

**Discovery Gen** — run structured client discovery workshops in the app with phased questions, a five-dimension scorecard, PDF export, and handoff to a new proposal. See [Discovery Gen](/guides/discovery-gen).
