This submission is for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle. The tool being developed is called Scope Desk. It is a command-line tool for freelancers to review client requests in a structured way. The freelancer inputs an agreed scope and a new message, and Scope Desk uses an AI model to generate three types of suggestions: included work, extra work, and clarification needed.
Each suggestion is linked to its source in the original request. The freelancer can then review the suggestions, approve them, and export a plain-text scope review for further editing and sharing with the client. The tool does not set a price or confirm the work will be done. It is currently free, MIT-licensed, and needs user feedback.
The demo shows three development scenarios, including added payments and a French version, and a revision to an existing blog post. The tool is built on Python 3.11 or later and uses SQLite for storage. The model used for the AI suggestions is nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b, and the code is open-source. The tool is a single-operator prototype with no encryption or multi-user authentication.
