24 alternatives to I made an AI based career navigator
Many people express that despite working hard, they don't feel like they are in the right career. Instead of getting adhoc advice from friends and family or requiring serendipitity/fortune in landing in a desirable career progression, I made a career planning tool which lets you upload a resume or public linkedin profile and see alternative career paths. You can play with your map, explore alternative trajectories, specify a goal, understand job titles, see job listings and more. I am looking to understand what, if any aspect of this tool is useful, and how I would proceed to build upon…

"Excited to launch CareerGPT.ai on Hacker news today! We're on a mission to help people ..yada...yada" No, that's ChatGPT's writing, not mine :) Folks, I was a PhD student once, in a non-home country, and just wished to know what was it like to go and work in the industry, being a programmer, or started a company. Torn apart between choices, I just wished there was a totally unbiased counselor to talk to. I couldn't do that with my supervisor since he always encouraged me to finish the thesis (of course). Heck, had ChatGPT exist back then, I would have had more infos and made decision…

I've been deeply involved in working with AI agents and large language models (LLMs) for a while now. During a recent job search, I found myself repeatedly explaining my skills and experiences to various assistants. Around the same time, I was creating content for my website to help hiring teams understand my capabilities better and make informed decisions. MCP had started to gain momentum and I saw a way to reduce my toil. So I built an MCP server that can effectively communicate my qualifications as a job candidate. This server acts as an AI-powered resume, providing an understanding of my…

Generally, I found resumes too vague to get to know anyone (hence why no one networks with them), professional blogs too low ROI, walking up to people unscalable, and cold messaging fairly low success-rate. I wanted the 'marketing tool' of networking to get myself out there. Something that lets me: 1) Draw people into a conversation before they've realized it 2) Make them remember me and ultimately reach out to me 3) See what people asked me so I can further refine my interactive profile and start the networking cycle again So I built a website where anyone can create these interactive…

Job hunting while working full-time felt like running two careers at once. By the time I finished work, I barely had the energy to research the right companies, let alone tailor my resume for every role. I wanted a "Career Co-Pilot", something that didn't just list jobs, but actually did the heavy lifting of matching and applying. Most tools were just static databases or basic template editors. I couldn't find a solution that automated the entire workflow from discovery to submission. That’s when I decided to build something — the tool I wish existed when I was job hunting. I'm building this…

I've spent the last year building personality models + the last 9 years in the career tech space. This new tool I made works pretty well and I wanted to share it. Just give it your LinkedIn username. It pulls your career history and in about 2 seconds, it'll notice patterns in your career story and tell you things about yourself that are weirdly specific — your blind spots, what's driving your decisions, stuff you've probably felt but never had anyone put into words. A big unlock I had (and why I built this) was that your career trajectory says SO MUCH about you as a person. Not your job…

Proving▲6Hey HN, Founder here. I recently left a job and had a lot of time on my hands so I decided to build an app that will help people navigate the current job market and ensure they are being paid fairly. I wanted to build something that gives the career benefits of LinkedIn without the social feed or self-promotion. Let people privately post about their work, keep track of their brags, and have an idea of where their career gaps are. Maybe help them to realize they are being underpaid so they can make a bit more. Applied to YC on a whim but I'm thinking that's more of a lottery ticket. Mostly…

Searching for job roles in tech? I've been there. For six months, I was stuck in the LinkedIn job application loop, getting nowhere. It was soul-crushing. I started to wonder if I was just a bad developer. But I changed my modus operandi and started reaching out to founders building super cool startups that got recently funded but didnt have the chance to post online yet that they are hiring, the response rate was much more significant and I wwas having super cool convos! This approach was so effective, I turned it into a product. I've tapped into premium data sources (we're talking $25K+…

Loopn▲7Hey, Hackers! I am incredibly excited to finally share what we've been building: Loopn. For years, my professional networking experience felt more like a chore than an opportunity. I’m sure many of you can relate. My feed became a constant firehose of noise—off-topic posts, viral debates, and endless content that had little to do with my actual career goals. The very platforms that promised connection were paradoxically making it harder to find the right people. It felt like finding a meaningful connection required sifting through a mountain of this irrelevant content. We were all just…
