Sell custom Illustrator scripts built with AI on Upwork

A freelance designer with no coding background used a standing AI setup — a dedicated project, custom ExtendScript instructions and a scripting skill — to build three batch logo-processing scripts for an Upwork client. The client paid $640, left a five-star rating and became a repeat client.

$640

How it works

  1. Set up an AI project with custom ExtendScript instructions
  2. Create a scripting skill for one-click generation
  3. Take the client brief
  4. Generate three scripts (batch artboard placement, black-and-white variants, footers and favicons)
  5. Test in Illustrator
  6. Deliver via Upwork
  7. Get paid $640 with a five-star rating

Why it’s worth knowing

A non-coder sold working automation scripts to a paying client, who then came back for more.
