You Li's profile on Product Hunt

About

Product manager turned solo founder. 8+ years building products across financial services, B2B SaaS and EdTech, most recently data platforms at Lloyds Banking Group. After redundancy in 2026 I spent months job hunting and built my own end-to-end system to survive it: deep company research, CVs tailored to the actual role, structured interview prep. It worked, so I turned it into a product. Now building WorkstationAI (workstationai.uk): your whole job hunt, one AI workspace. Pay per use, no subscription, because job hunting is temporary and your tools should respect that. Built solo with Claude, no engineering background. Proof that one PM with AI agents can ship production software. Manchester, UK. Happy to talk product, AI-native building, or surviving a brutal job market.

I built a tool that scores job ads A to F. The hard part isn't the score.

I spent months job hunting this year, and what wore me down wasn't rejection. It was not knowing which ads were real.

So I built WorkstationAI. Paste a job ad and get an A to F "should I apply?" score with a scam and ghost-job check, then CV tailoring, company research, and interview prep built from live research on that company. Free tier, pay per use, launching here on 4 August.

The hard part has turned out to be calibration, not the model. Telling someone "this is a D, don't apply" only works if they trust it. Right now it reads the ad text only, with no live check on whether the company is actually hiring. Flagging a genuine ghost job without crying wolf on every vaguely written ad is the thing I keep rebuilding.

Two questions for anyone who's been through it:

After 6 months of job hunting, what's still manual in yours?

Earlier this year I found myself job hunting again as a Product Owner in UK banking. What surprised me wasn't how hard it was. It was how much of it was still copy and paste.

Every application ran the same loop: read the ad, guess whether it was even real, rewrite the CV, research the company, then scramble the night before an interview to work out what that business actually cares about. 5 tools, none of them talking to each other, 2 of them billing me monthly for something I used twice.

So I built my own process to survive it, and then turned it into WorkstationAI. It launches here on 4 August.

The part I haven't solved is what I want to ask about. 2 questions:

Doing one of these because I get more from reading what others are building than from any newsletter.
