My friend and I got tired of job hunting (347 applications, 4 responses) so we built AI agents to help job seekers instead of replacing them.
The problem: 73% of applications never reach humans, 250+ people apply to each job, but 85% of positions are filled through networking.
Our solution: AI agents that find hiring managers for any LinkedIn job, analyze your profile fit, and generate personalized outreach messages. Instead of competing with hundreds in the application pile, you reach decision-makers directly.
Technical bits: LangChain + OpenAI for job parsing, Next.js + Supabase, custom contact discovery algorithms that work across different company structures.
Results: Users getting 70% more response rates vs regular applications.
In a world where AI is automating jobs away, we wanted to build something that helps people actually get jobs.
