How to use Upwork in ChatGPT

  1. Open Upwork in ChatGPT’s plugin directory

    Open Upwork’s page on chatgpt.com. Sign in to ChatGPT if you are not already.

  2. Install it from that page

    Choose Install plugin there. It adds the Upwork app and 4 skills to ChatGPT. Since it is listed with Read and Write access, it may ask you to connect the account it works with.

  3. Mention Upwork in a chat

    Start a new chat and name it in your request, for example: “Upwork, help me turn this project brief into an Upwork job post.”

Availability can depend on your ChatGPT plan, your region and, on work accounts, your admin’s settings.

What Upwork does

Upwork connects clients hiring for work with the freelancers doing it. Clients can post jobs, review proposals, send offers, message freelancers, and manage contracts, milestones, and payments. Freelancers can search and save jobs, submit proposals, respond to invitations and offers, track earnings and time reports, and manage their public profile. Both sides get a consolidated dashboard of what's new.

Before you connect it

OpenAI’s plugin pages note that a connected plugin may receive relevant parts of your chats to answer a request, and that Upwork’s own terms and privacy policy then cover that data. You can disconnect a plugin later in ChatGPT’s settings. Read the privacy policy (privacy.upwork.com) and terms (upwork.com).
