AI for consultants & freelancers
When you're the whole company, every hour on admin is an hour you can't bill. Liminal handles the wrapper around your expertise: researching the prospect, drafting the proposal as a finished document, keeping the inbox moving, scheduling the calls, and raising the invoice when the work ships.
From "can you send me a proposal?" to a finished PDF
Liminal researches the client's business from the public web, folds in what you've told it about your services and rates, and renders an actual proposal: structured sections, your voice, exported as PDF or Word. It remembers the proposals that won, so the next one starts from your best work instead of a blank page.
An inbox and calendar that run themselves (almost)
- Morning triage: what needs you, what can wait, what's a draft-ready reply.
- Replies drafted in your actual tone: inferred from how you write, not a canned template.
- Scheduling without the back-and-forth: it reads the thread, checks your calendar, proposes times, and books the call.
- Every email is shown to you before it sends. Always.
Research that arrives as a brief, not twenty tabs
Before a discovery call, ask for a brief on the prospect: what they do, recent news, competitors, likely pain points: gathered from multiple sources, summarized with links, and saved to your local notes so it's there when the follow-up call happens three weeks later.
Bill the work without switching apps
Connected to Xero, Liminal can draft the invoice from the engagement details, check what's outstanding, and chase politely when the due date slides: each step approved by you. The whole client lifecycle, one assistant, on your machine.
FAQ
Common questions
I'm not technical: is this for me?
Yes. The desktop app installs like any other application, and connecting Gmail, Outlook, or Xero is a one-click sign-in. If you can use email, you can use Liminal.
What makes this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you text to copy-paste. Liminal acts: it reads your real inbox, checks your real calendar, raises real invoices, and produces real files: locally, with approval gates on every outbound action.
