"As a production side VFX Supervisor with over 20 years in the industry, I deal with the tedious nature of bidding all the time! OpenBID has truly revolutionized the process, making it faster and more intuitive than ever before. Being built on Google Sheets, which we all already use anyway, makes it incredibly easy and the addition of ChatGPT is just the cherry on top! Trust me, try it, your future self will thank you!"
