Mela
The agent that hires creative freelancers
Mela is an AI agent that hires creative freelancers. Describe what you need in plain words, down to the aesthetic detail, and Mela works the brief the way a producer would: it vets every freelancer itself, judging portfolios and past work rather than resumes, and negotiates pricing and proposals on your behalf. No job posts, no 500 portfolios to go through, no settling for whoever replied first.
Hey Product Hunt, Rushabh here, co-founder of Mela. First launch here.
Hiring a creative freelancer still works the way it did fifteen years ago: post a job, get flooded with applications, and settle for whoever looked best in a thirty-second scan. The best editors and designers rarely apply at all.
Mela is an AI agent that does the hiring the way a great producer would. You describe what you need in plain words. It understands the brief, vets creatives whose style and level actually match, and negotiates pricing and proposals for you.
It's early, but the numbers are moving. The agent has vetted over 1,000 freelancers so far. We didn't trust its judgment at first, so we kept scoring it against human evaluators on the same portfolios until the gap closed; it now lands within their range.
Hiring a freelancer from scratch takes an agency HR 2 to 3 days. On Mela, it takes five to ten minutes, and some of India's biggest agencies have already onboarded with us. The platform has run 150+ searches so far
The belief behind all of it: as AI makes passable content infinite, taste and judgment become the scarce resources. The vetting and the scoring above are our attempt at building an agent that can recognize both.
Honest feedback means more to us than upvotes today. Ask us anything, we're here all day.
