Disclosure: I'm the developer of Maildoer, the tool used in these recipes.
Freelancers lose hours every week to work that isn't the job itself: client briefs to read, proposals to put together, invoices to explain. I built Maildoer so that kind of work can be handed off by email. You send the task with any attachments to do@maildoer.com, and the result comes back to your inbox.
Here are four recipes you can copy.
1. Brief → clarifying questions
Forward the client's brief and write:
Summarize this brief in 5 bullets, then list the questions I should ask before quoting.
You get a short summary and a checklist to send back before you commit to a price.
2. Notes → proposal deck
Attach your rough notes (or a doc) and write:
Turn this into a 6-slide proposal deck: problem, approach, timeline, deliverables, price placeholder, next steps. Add a simple timeline chart.
A PPT file with images and a chart comes back, ready for you to polish.
3. Foreign-language client → translation + reply
Forward the email and write:
Translate to English and draft a polite reply in the client's language confirming Friday's deadline.
You can write your request in any language.
4. Spreadsheet → monthly report
Attach your time-tracking or income sheet and write:
Give me a one-page analysis of hours per client this month, with one chart and three observations.
