Sound familiar?
It's 11pm and you're still formatting a proposal.
The call went well. They said “send over a proposal.” So you open last month's document, delete the old client's name, fight a table that keeps breaking, and export proposal_final_v3.pdf.
Then nothing. Did they open it? Did the price scare them? You have no idea, so you write the follow-up you always write.
The proposal isn't the hard part. Everything after you hit send is.
How it works
Four steps. The last one is a yes.
01
Describe the job
Paste your notes, a client email, or a few rough lines about scope, timeline and budget.
02
Get a real draft, make it yours
Scope, timeline and pricing in clear language. Edit any line, move a milestone, change the price.
03
Send one link
See when it's opened and how far they read, and answer questions in the document.
04
Get it accepted
Your client accepts on the page, with a record of who accepted it and when.
It chases, so you don't have to.
Sent
You know the moment it's opened.
An email alert when your client opens it, comments or replies.
Opened, then quiet
It lands on your chase list.
Proposals going cold are flagged, or snoozed until you're ready.
Ready to chase
The follow-up is already written.
From what they read and asked, not a template. You hit send.

It sounds like you, not like a robot.

Do I need an account to try it?
Yes, but it takes seconds and never asks for a card. The proposal you're working on saves to your account as you edit, so you can pick it up on another device, and every proposal you share stays on your dashboard.
Is my client's information stored?
Only what you put into a proposal. To write it, your brief is sent to Google's Gemini. The proposal you're working on is saved in your browser and to your account as you edit, and that saved draft is cleared when you share it or discard it. Shared proposals are stored until you delete them, which also kills the link.
Can I edit the proposal before sending it?
Yes — every line is editable in place. Click any sentence and rewrite it, add or remove items from any list, or ask for a single section again with an instruction like "shorter, and mention the launch date". Your edits save as you type.
Which AI model writes it?
Google's Gemini. Whatever the model, the proposal comes back against a fixed schema, so the shape of the document never depends on it.
How do I know my client read it?
Send a tracked link instead of an attachment. Your dashboard shows whether it has been opened and how many times, and your own previews are never counted. Delete the proposal and the link stops working immediately.
Can I revise a proposal after I've sent it?
Yes — edit any section, or ask for a full rewrite from one instruction, and your client sees the update at the same link. There's no new link to send and nothing to resend.
Can my client leave feedback?
Yes. They can comment directly on the proposal without an account, and you can reply right there instead of starting an email thread.
Can I reuse a proposal for a similar job?
Open any past proposal and start a new one from it — the structure and your terms carry over, so you're only editing what's actually different this time.
What if my client says no?
They can decline right from the link, with a reason if they choose to leave one — no guessing why from silence. That's the one place the answer arrives, so you actually know what to change next time.
Can I put my own branding on it instead of Draftly's?
On a paid plan, yes — your logo and colour on the document itself, and no Draftly mark on what you send. Free sends work exactly the same way, with a small mention of Draftly at the bottom.
What happens if a client goes quiet after opening it?
You can put off a decision to chase later without losing track of it, and when you're ready, Draftly drafts the follow-up itself — written from what actually happened, not a template: how far they read, what they asked, how long it's been. You send it; nothing goes out on its own.
