值得做

Freelancers repeatedly describe late payments as an emotional and administrative burden. They do not need another invoice generator; they need help writing the follow-up. Existing tools either schedule generic reminders or target finance teams. A focused product with a review step and relationship-aware copy has a credible wedge.中文翻译生成中,稍后刷新即可看到。

AI Invoice Chaser for Freelancers

Overview

A small web app that helps a freelancer turn an overdue invoice into a calm, professional follow-up sequence. The user pastes the invoice details, adds one line of context, reviews three AI-written emails, and schedules them.

Tech stack

  • Next.js App Router + TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS for the UI
  • Postgres + Drizzle ORM
  • Resend (or any transactional email API) for sending
  • One LLM API for email generation

Core features

  1. Invoice intake form: client name, amount, due date, invoice link, relationship context.
  2. Reminder sequence generator: three emails with increasing firmness.
  3. Review screen: edit subject and body, preview, approve.
  4. Scheduling: send on day 0, day 3, and day 7 after approval.
  5. Activity log: what was sent, when, and whether the invoice was paid.

第 1 步

Scaffold the app(翻译中)

第 2 步

Build the invoice form(翻译中)

Add a form with client name, client email, invoice amount, due date, invoice URL, and a short relationship note. Validate required fields and show inline errors. Save the invoice to Postgres.

第 3 步

Generate the sequence(翻译中)

Write a server action that sends the invoice context to the LLM and asks for exactly three emails as JSON: friendly reminder, firmer follow-up, final notice. Each email needs a subject and a body under 120 words. Validate the JSON before saving.

第 4 步

Review and edit(翻译中)

Build a review screen that shows the three emails in editable text areas. Add a Preview button that renders the email as the client would see it. Save edits back to the database.

第 5 步

Schedule sends(翻译中)

Add a scheduler that sends email one immediately, email two after 3 days, and email three after 7 days. Use a jobs table and a protected cron endpoint. Log every send with a status.

第 6 步

Activity log(翻译中)

Create a dashboard that lists every invoice with its current status and the exact emails sent. Add a “Mark as paid” button that stops future reminders.
