First-Draft Proposal Generator

A proposal you can send, drafted in about ten minutes from rough notes, built out of your own past proposals rather than a template that sounds like everyone else.

For anyone who writes the same kind of proposal repeatedly and rewrites it from scratch every time. Mine what you already send, tighten it, and turn it into one prompt.

First-Draft Proposal Generator can be your free Build.

Not a preview and not a sample. One Build of your choosing, all the way to a thing that works — and you only get one, so it may as well be the one you actually want.

  • Every step in order, with the exact prompt to paste and where to paste it
  • A checkpoint after each step, so you know it worked before moving on
  • The walkthrough, the templates and any files that go with it
  • Your place kept, so you can put it down and come back to the same step
