An AI-powered career platform that helps users analyze resumes, evaluate job fit, generate tailored cover letters, practice interviews, and build skill-development roadmaps.
🔗 https://careerpilot-ai-two-ebon.vercel.app
Job applicants face high rejection rates due to automated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filtering resumes before human review, generic un-tailored cover letters, and lack of real-time technical interview practice.
CareerPilot AI acts as a 24/7 personal career co-pilot. It ingests resume PDFs, extracts text via binary stream parsing, evaluates ATS compliance against target roles, matches candidate profiles to specific job postings, and generates formatted cover letters with instant PDF export options.
