After Indeed laid off his wife, he built a job service that now applies for people inside an AI app

A builder whose wife was laid off by Indeed built a job search platform with AI, then a connector that brings it inside an AI app: search about 15,000 new jobs a day for free, drop in a resume for matches and tailored versions, and have the service submit applications on employers' own sites once the user approves. It launched the week before his October 14 post and already has 450 users with 75 active daily; paid users on autopilot are seeing 83 interviews per 100 subscribers.

How it works

  1. Build the job platform with AI
  2. Generate a connector from one capability list
  3. Add sign in so it works in an AI app chat
  4. Users search and tailor resumes free
  5. Submissions sent on employer sites after approval
  6. 450 users in the first week

Why it’s worth knowing

The build trick travels: one list of what the product can do generates both the web app features and the agent tools, so the two can never drift apart.
