I Built AimVantage - An AI Job Prep Tool That Gives You an Unfair Advantage

#ai #productivity #webdev #career

Job applications are broken. You spend 45 minutes customising a cover letter for a role you're not even sure fits your background. Then you get ghosted.

I built AimVantage to fix that.

What AimVantage Does

Upload your CV and paste a job listing URL. In about 90 seconds, AimVantage gives you:

Company intelligence brief — who they are, what they value, red flags
CV-to-role fit score — honest percentage match with gap analysis
Tailored cover letter in four tones (Professional, Warm, Direct, Creative)
Mock interview questions with model answers based on YOUR experience
Five-minute pitch outline — for when someone asks "tell me about yourself"

No subscription. Pay-per-use starting at GBP 5 for 20 analyses.

The Free Tools

AimVantage also ships 20+ free career tools that anyone can use without paying:

Cover Letter Critique — paste your letter, get actionable feedback
Ghost Job Detector — check if that listing is actually real
ATS Keyword Scanner — see what keywords you're missing
Interview Question Generator — practice before the real thing
Salary Negotiation Coach — know your worth before the call

Tech Stack

Built with React + TypeScript on the frontend, deployed on Vercel. Backend uses Supabase for auth and storage, with Gemini powering the AI analysis. Stripe handles payments (live, not test mode).

The whole thing runs on 10 serverless functions and passes 288 tests.

Why I Built This

I was applying to jobs myself and noticed I kept doing the same research manually — looking up the company, matching my experience to the job description, writing a cover letter from scratch. Every single time.

AimVantage automates the boring parts so you can focus on the bits that actually matter: deciding if the role is right for you and preparing for the interview.
