The problem it solves

Job hunting means checking your inbox constantly and writing a new application for every posting that looks promising. Sorting real job leads from newsletters and spam wastes time you would rather spend interviewing. Writing a tailored response from scratch every time gets exhausting fast.

Who it fits

Job seekers who want to apply faster without writing every application by hand.

How it works

  1. New emails arriving in your Gmail inbox are automatically reviewed
  2. AI checks whether the email is a job posting relevant to your skills
  3. Matches posting to your skills
  4. AI drafts a tailored application email as the applicant, saved to your Gmail drafts for review
What you get

Applications drafted and ready to send

Every relevant job posting in your inbox gets a tailored application drafted and saved to your Gmail drafts, ready for you to send.

What you get

A ready-to-send draft application waiting in your Gmail drafts for every matching job email.

What you need

A Gmail account and access to an AI language model.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
