You do it all yourself: the work itself, the quotes, the invoices, the filing with URSSAF (the French social contributions agency), and finding clients. AI takes on a good share of the writing and the paperwork. The prices, the amounts you report, and the client relationship remain yours.
AI helps sole proprietors with tasks such as “Set your rate without underselling,” “Send a quote the same day,” and “Reply to client inquiries by voice.” Start with a single task, in ChatGPT: allow 15 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.

Try the interactive demoWhat to check
An assistant can get a calculation wrong or quote an outdated rate: give it your rates yourself, read on the URSSAF website, and recalculate the result. Compare the annual revenue you get with the cap for your regime.
Set your rate without undersellingChatGPT · “Chat” modeThe prompt to copy
I’m a sole proprietor (French micro-entrepreneur) in [line of work], in [city]. Help me work out my rate [per hour, per day, or as a flat fee]. First ask me your questions, one at a time: net income I want per month, business expenses, weeks of vacation, days spent without billing (finding clients, quotes, admin, travel). My contribution rate is [rate shown in my URSSAF account]%. Don’t use any other rate without asking me. Then show the calculation line by line. Give a floor rate, a target rate, and the annual revenue that represents.
