Freelance marketing

Approvals that decide whether Friday publishes.

Pidgy is an AI email assistant for freelance marketers. It sorts your inbox before you open it, counts the days on every approval a client owes, drafts the reminder in your words, and turns the extra request at the end of a feedback email into work you can see, and invoice.

of the working week goes to email, before any real work is opened.

You are the marketing department. And the accounts department.

The copy is written. The client has not approved it. The other client has not paid March. The third client added a landing page to the brief in the last line of an email about something else, and you have not decided whether that is a new quote.

It is that nobody counts the days for you: since you sent the copy, since you sent the invoice, since you promised the extra thing. The only record is your own sent items, at eleven at night.

Pidgy does not do the marketing.

Four things it does before you have opened anything.

You only see what matters

A hundred a day for one person, and the ones that matter are the ones with a publish date or an invoice behind them.

Dear Inge, a short reminder that invoice 2026-014 for April is now 32 days out. I know things get busy; if it has slipped through, this is the nudge. If there is a problem with it, tell me and we will sort it.

Newsletter looks good, one thing

Newsletter approved, go ahead for Friday. One thing: could you also put together a small landing page for the Mother's Day box before the 9th? Nothing fancy, just somewhere the newsletter can link to.

And then the rest of the day.

Four more things Pidgy does between an email landing and Friday publishing.

  1. Replies

    Three ways to answer it. Or your own words.

    Every thread that needs a reply gets three, and they are the three things you would most plausibly say back given what the client asked. Including the polite way to say that is a new quote.

    Dear Els, happy to. A one page landing page with the box, a photo and an order button is about half a day, and I will send a small quote today so it is clear. If you approve it by tomorrow it is live before the newsletter goes.

  2. Plan mode

    Your day on one side, the work on the other.

    You drag one into the other, and a week with two publish dates and a landing page in it looks that way on Monday, not Thursday night.

  3. Projects

    And it adds up to a picture.

    Every client becomes a project: what is approved, what is not, what is invoiced, what is paid.

  4. Ask Pidgy

    Or just ask it.

    “What is still unpaid?” is a question you answer today by opening your accounting tool and your sent folder.

    Ask anything about your mailbox

Illustrative data from no real freelancer

Before you let anything near a client mailbox.

You click send

Pidgy drafts. It has no permission to send on your behalf, and there is no setting that grants one.

Hosted in the EU

Data residency in the EU, scoped per mailbox, DPA on request. Export or purge whenever you want.

It never deletes

Nothing is archived, moved, marked read or thrown away. Your mailbox is exactly where you left it.

Never trains on you

Correspondence builds your lists and your drafts. It is never used to train a model, ours or anyone else's.

Questions freelancers ask

What does it cost?+

Per mailbox, monthly, published when we open to everyone. The first group is free. Asking for a place costs nothing and connects nothing.

I am one person. Is this built for me?+

Yes. One mailbox, one list of what is waiting on you and what you are waiting on, and drafts in your voice. The part that helps most is the part nobody does for a freelancer: counting the days on invoices and approvals.

Does it send the invoice reminders by itself?+

No. It drafts them and counts the days. You read and send. Nothing goes without you, which with a client relationship is the point.

What can it see, exactly?+

The mailbox you connect, and only that. Your accounting tool, your scheduling tool and your phone are invisible to it.

Does it work in Dutch and French?+

Yes. It reads mixed language mailboxes and drafts in the language of the thread.

Is my clients' material used to train a model?+

No. Processing happens in the EU, scoped to the mailbox you connect, under a data processing agreement.

A first group, chosen by hand.

Pidgy opens to a small number of people before anyone else, and we pick them ourselves. If freelance marketing is your trade, tell us and we will be in touch.
