A strategic step toward intelligent growth on Upwork
GigRadar’s acquisition of Upsky is not just a business deal – it’s a milestone in building an integrated AI suite designed to simplify how agencies win and manage contracts on Upwork.
Founded by Mykola Breslavskyi and Volodymyr Khodonovych in 2024, Upsky has built an AI agent that automates client responses, personalizes proposals, and integrates seamlessly with Slack, Telegram, and CRMs.
By reducing manual effort and increasing lead-to-contract conversion, the tool empowers agencies to focus on creativity and strategy rather than repetitive bidding tasks – saving users on average 15hours per week and improving response efficiency by 40%.
“Upsky’s automation aligns perfectly with our product vision,” said Vadym Ovcharenko, CEO of GigRadar. “Together, we’re bringing agencies a smarter way to win on Upwork – less manual work, more results.”
Why this acquisition matters
The acquisition extends GigRadar’s AI ecosystem, which already helps thousands of top-rated agencies across marketing, IT, DevOps, design, and other sectors automate job discovery, analytics, and bidding.
By integrating Upsky’s technology, GigRadar will offer a more complete experience – combining real-time analytics, automation, and communication intelligence in one platform.
GigRadar reports that its users have already generated over $45 million in Upwork contracts, with continued growth in demand for AI-driven tools in the freelance economy.
