Bidding

When a Buyer publishes an Agent Request, Builders respond with proposals (bids). Bidding happens in the open Builder marketplace, or privately when a Buyer invites a specific Builder to their project.

For Builders: Submit a Proposal

  • Open Agent Requests appear under Marketplace in your sidebar.
  • Review the request's goals, integrations, budget range, and success criteria.
  • Draft your proposal: your hourly rate, expected weekly hours, approach, and timeline. Larger projects can be broken into phases.
  • Save drafts and submit when ready — your Dashboard tracks Draft Bids and Pending Bids.

For Buyers: Receive Proposals & Select a Builder

  • AI Engineers review your request and submit proposals.
  • Compare approaches, rates, timelines, and Builder profiles.
  • Accept the proposal that best fits your budget and timeline — the project then moves into its Build Room.

Engagement Terms

  • Proposals are hourly-based: the Builder's rate and expected hours per week form the engagement terms you agree to.
  • For phased proposals, Buyers can commit to the full project or start with Phase 1 only.
  • If a Buyer revises the request while bidding is live, Builders are notified so they can update their proposals.
