Brohns for freelancers

The biz-dev colleague you could never afford

AI agents are worth it for freelancers because they take over the work you can't bill: Brohns gives you a small team — a Finder that sources prospects, a Qualifier that scores each one with a written reason, an Outreacher that drafts a personal first message — and it runs while you do client work. Nothing goes out under your name until you approve it in a single queue, so business development becomes a ten-minute review instead of a lost evening. The 14-day trial includes 500 credits with no credit card required — enough to source, qualify, and reach dozens of real prospects before you pay anything.

Sound familiar?

The work that keeps not happening.

The feast-or-famine pipeline

When I'm slammed with client work, prospecting stops completely. Six weeks later the project wraps and I'm staring at an empty pipeline, starting from zero — again. The work that gets me work never happens while I'm doing the work.

Cold outreach eats my evenings — and feels gross

Writing one genuinely personal email means researching a stranger's website after a full client day, and that's exactly when I have no energy left. So I either send nothing, or I send something generic and hate how it sounds. Neither builds a business.

Chasing invoices is unbilled, awkward work

Every overdue invoice means another carefully worded reminder to someone I want to keep as a client. It's admin that pays nothing, costs focus, and somehow still feels confrontational every single time.

Reviews and inbound sit unanswered

A review I never reply to, a form submission I answer three days late — each one is a small leak in a business that runs on reputation. I know it matters; there's just no slot in my week where it fits.

A week with Brohns

What actually changes, day by day.

1

Monday, 9:00 — describe the goal

You type one sentence — "more retainer clients for my design studio" — and Bro asks a couple of short questions: which region, what tone, what a good client looks like. It proposes a small team, usually a Finder, a Qualifier, and an Outreacher, each with one sharp job. You approve the lineup and switch back to billable work.

2

Tuesday — agents work while you bill

The Finder sources local businesses in your niche (it works out of the box via OpenStreetMap — no paid API needed), and the Qualifier reads each website, gives it an explainable 0–100 score, and writes down why a lead is or isn't worth your time. Every agent lives on the canvas as its own island, showing its real reasoning on a timeline — watch it, or ignore it completely.

3

Wednesday — the ten-minute approval coffee break

The Outreacher has drafted first messages, each opening with something specific it found on the prospect's site. They wait in your Approvals queue until you say so: approve, tweak, or toss. Edits are free — and the agent distills them into lasting lessons, so Thursday's drafts read more like you.

4

Thursday — a reply lands

Incoming replies cost nothing and arrive with a drafted response ready for your review. A Builder agent can even put together a real demo landing page for a lead who bit. You approve the reply between two client calls, and it goes out through your own Gmail or Resend sender — never from anyone else's domain.

5

Friday — a pipeline that didn't exist on Monday

The timeline shows every action every agent took all week; nothing happened that you can't trace. You've spent minutes on business development, not evenings. If the team has earned it, you can grant routine steps more autonomy — and step back down whenever you want.

The payoff

Concrete, not hand-wavy.

Credits move only when agents work

You never pay for approving, editing, briefing, or receiving replies. Credits are spent per action: 5 to find and score a batch of leads, 2 per qualification pass, 3 per drafted message or reply, 1 per approved send. A quiet week costs nothing extra, and unused credits roll over one cycle.

What the 500 trial credits actually buy

Run the math: 10 sourcing batches cost 50 credits, and each lead you then qualify, draft for, and message costs 6 (2 + 3 + 1). That leaves enough to take roughly 75 leads all the way from qualified to sent — inside the 14-day trial, with no card on file. You'll know whether it works before you pay anything.

€39 a month vs. your evening shift

Brohns Pro is €39 per month (€390 yearly — two months free) for 4,000 credits, enough to work hundreds of leads. Compare that to the real price of business development right now: your evenings, and the billable hours prospecting displaces. The point isn't cheaper outreach — it's that selling stops competing with billing.

Reviewing is faster than writing

Your agent team can draft 30 personalized outreach emails while you review them in one sitting. You keep every judgment call — who gets contacted, what goes out under your name — and hand off the research and drafting that made outreach swallow whole evenings.

Every outward move — each email, reply or post — waits for your approval first. That's not a setting; it's how Brohns is built.

What freelancers run on Brohns
Questions

Good to know.

Do I need technical skills to use Brohns?

No. You describe your goal in plain language — "more retainer clients for my studio" — and Bro asks one to three short questions before proposing your team; there's no workflow builder, no code, and no prompt engineering. Claude is built in, so you don't need your own AI API key either. The only setup step is connecting your own email sender (a Resend key or Gmail via OAuth) once you're ready to actually send.

How much time does reviewing and approving actually take?

Everything waiting on you collects in one Approvals queue, where each draft arrives with the agent's reasoning attached and can be approved, edited, or dismissed with one tap. Drafts also pass a strict second review before you ever see them, which strips invented specifics, hype, and filler, so most are ready as-is. In practice a day's worth of drafts fits in a coffee break — and reviewing costs zero credits.

Won't AI outreach make me sound like spam?

The Outreacher opens every message with a real, specific finding about the recipient's website — not a mail-merge template — and a second review pass rejects drafts containing hype or made-up details before they reach your queue. When you edit a draft before approving it, the agent distills your edit into a lasting lesson, so the voice drifts toward yours over time. And because every send needs your explicit sign-off, nothing goes out on autopilot.

What does Brohns cost for a solo freelancer?

The 14-day free trial includes 500 credits and doesn't ask for a credit card. After that, Brohns Pro is €39 per month for 4,000 monthly credits, or €390 per year with two months free, and unused credits roll over one cycle. Credits map to agent work — finding and scoring a batch of leads costs 5, a qualification pass 2, a draft 3, a send 1 — while approvals, edits, and incoming replies are free.

Do emails go out from my own address?

Yes, always. Brohns sends through your own sender — a Resend API key or your Gmail account connected via OAuth — and never from Brohns' domain on your behalf. Guardrails like a daily send limit, a send window, a do-not-contact list, and automatic bounce handling are enforced on the server, and every approved send is written to an audit log you can check any time.

Can the agents do more than find new clients?

Yes. The same team model covers drafting replies to your online reviews, sending age-escalating payment reminders for your own overdue invoices (each one waiting for your approval before it goes out), triaging support, and answering questions about data you import — where the numbers are computed by code, never guessed by the model. Lead generation is the deepest workflow today, so it's the best place to start.
