In Japan, since 2015, the freelance population has increased by 68.3% to 15.77 million, and the economic scale by 62.7% to 23.8 trillion yen. In the United States, the freelance population is about 70.4 million, accounting for approximately 36% of all workers (as of 2022). Particularly, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of the freelance market in both countries. A notable trend is the increase in the population of young Generation Z freelancers.Many young freelance designers, due to their limited experience, typically handle 5 to 7 projects per month with an average fee of about 30,000 to 50,000 yen per project. This requires them to have advanced self-management skills. However, they need to focus not only on their current work but also on sales activities for the future and studying to improve their skills.This situation poses a significant burden, especially for young individuals with little or no job experience. The difficulty in self-management can lead to increased stress and mental strain, and in the worst case, the risk of depression and other mental disorders. Reina Stott, CEO of Qocolor, had a similar experience. After studying business in Silicon Valley, she became an independent freelance designer. Managing multiple low-priced design projects simultaneously was more challenging than anticipated. The stress of task management and working up to deadlines without rest, time for hobbies, or skill improvement eventually led to depression.This experience highlighted the need for a tool that could act like a manager for freelancers, leading to the development of Qocolor. Unique Features of QocolorQocolor is an innovative AI project management tool that sets itself apart from existing task management tools. While tools like ASANA, Trello, and monday.com are optimized for team collaboration on large-scale projects, Qocolor is designed for individuals managing multiple projects. As a resource management tool, it offers a unique approach to distributing the limited 24 hours in a day. 1. AI-Powered Milestone SuggestionsRegistering a new project in Qocolor instantly prompts AI to suggest efficient schedules, considering the progress of other projects. This saves the effort of creating Gantt charts from scratch, allowing for management with more time and peace of mind. This unique algorithm is patented. 2. Clear DashboardQocolor’s dashboard allows for a quick overview of multiple project progressions, reducing concerns over resource allocation errors, delivery delays, or missed tasks. 3. Freeform Note CanvasQocolor provides a freeform canvas for each project, where users can easily compile notes, links, images, etc., eliminating the need to enter every tiny task deadline and status. Qocolor simplifies the complex tasks and progress management challenges faced by freelancers with its straightforward and intuitive design. By focusing only on essential features and excluding complex functions like chat, detailed status management, and assignment features found in other task management tools, freelancers can maximize their resources and efficiently advance their projects.

Through this service, we aim to create a society where people can immerse themselves in what they love and live autonomously and vibrantly in their own way. Qocolor supports individuals who live autonomously and love what they do by transforming the allocation of human resources and guiding them closer to their ideal way of life.
