The problem
A Chrome extension captures job ads; a LangGraph workflow parses the CV and the ad, scores the match and drafts tailored cover letters and CV revisions.
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
South African legal information is scattered across portals with limited keyword search, while international e-discovery platforms are often priced beyond the local market.
What was built
A Chrome extension captures advertisements, stores them in PostgreSQL and queues analysis. The platform compares a CV with a job description, produces a structured match score and generates tailored cover letters and CV revisions.
