Questions, answered plainly
What Lucy can help with, what happens to pasted text, where her limits are, and what to expect at each stage of a freelance engagement.
Using AssistedFreelance
What is AssistedFreelance?
It is a set of AI-assisted tools for understanding and communicating about freelance work, from the first scope to the final sign-off. Lucy explains, drafts, and flags issues for freelancers and clients; AssistedFreelance is not a marketplace, law firm, or freelancer directory.
Do I need an account?
No. Version 1 requires no account. There is no saved document or review history, so keep your own copy of any response you want to use before leaving the page.
Are pasted documents stored?
No. Version 1 stores no pasted documents. Text is processed in memory for the request and is not written to the application’s Postgres database. It is sent to the configured AI provider to generate the response, with provider storage disabled in the request.
Is AssistedFreelance free?
Yes, version 1 is free and requires no payment card. Reasonable usage limits may apply. Expanded features may become paid later, with the price and terms shown before a user chooses a paid option.
Is Lucy a lawyer?
No. Lucy provides general explanations and drafting help, not legal advice. She can show why wording deserves attention and help prepare questions, but she cannot decide enforceability, guarantee accuracy, or replace advice from a qualified local professional.
Does choosing freelancer or client change the answer?
It changes the framing, order, examples, and practical next steps—not the underlying analysis. Lucy stays neutral and explains legitimate concerns on both sides.
What should I remove before pasting text?
Remove names, signatures, addresses, account numbers, credentials, health information, trade secrets, and any unrelated confidential detail. Usually the relevant clause or a short redacted excerpt is enough.
Scoping & Proposals
What should a freelance project scope include?
A useful scope usually names the deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, timing, revision limits, dependencies, fees, and acceptance criteria. Lucy can flag gaps and turn them into neutral questions for both sides.
Can Lucy write a proposal from my notes?
Lucy can help organize your notes and draft concrete proposal language. You should still confirm that the final wording reflects the actual commercial agreement before sending or accepting it.
Does the scoping tool decide whether a price is fair?
No. Pricing depends on context Lucy may not have. She can identify what the price appears to cover, explain assumptions, and highlight questions that could affect cost or timing.
Contracts & Terms
Does Lucy provide legal advice about a contract?
No. Lucy explains supplied language in plain English, flags practical risks and ambiguities, and suggests questions to discuss. She does not determine enforceability or replace advice from a qualified lawyer.
Which freelance contract clauses can Lucy review?
Lucy can examine terms about scope, payment, revisions, intellectual property, confidentiality, warranties, liability, termination, dispute procedures, and governing law when they appear in the text you provide.
Will Lucy tell me which party is right?
No. She applies the same analysis for freelancers and clients, explains the practical effect for both sides, and distinguishes business questions from issues that need jurisdiction-specific legal review.
Scope & Communication
How does the scope-creep checker work?
Provide the agreed scope and the new request. Lucy compares them, identifies what appears included, additional, or ambiguous, and explains the wording and assumptions behind that assessment.
Is every revision request scope creep?
No. A request may be included in an agreed revision round, may add new work, or may be unclear from the agreement. Lucy flags the distinction without assuming either party acted badly.
Can Lucy draft a message about added work?
Yes. She can draft a calm message that states the shared facts, explains the likely time or cost effect, and proposes options such as a change request, timeline adjustment, or scope tradeoff.
Invoicing & Payment
What does the invoice checker review?
It checks the information you provide for clear line items, dates, totals, currency, payment terms, expenses, credits, and project references, and can compare them with supplied agreement terms.
Can Lucy recalculate an invoice total?
Yes, when the necessary figures are present. Lucy shows the calculation and states assumptions instead of silently changing an amount.
Can Lucy write a late-payment reminder?
Yes. She can draft a factual, proportionate follow-up based on the due date and communication history you provide, without inventing fees, threats, or payment status.
Disputes & Wind-down
Can Lucy determine who is legally right in a dispute?
No. Lucy can organize the chronology, separate agreed and disputed facts, explain relevant supplied terms, and outline practical options without declaring a legal winner.
Can Lucy calculate a termination or kill fee?
Lucy can show a calculation when the contract wording and figures are available. She labels assumptions and can provide scenarios when an important input is uncertain.
When should I speak with a lawyer?
Consider qualified local advice when substantial money, ownership, formal deadlines, threats, or proceedings are involved, or when the answer depends on local law or enforceability.
