This is a job search app, so how is this different from others: 1. You can manage your career data in any markdown editor (Obsidian, VS Code) or in the included web dashboard. Most career tools lock you into their UI. Yours offers both paths. 2. The repo is the database. No SaaS, no cloud, your data stays on your laptop as markdown files. 3. It's open source. Nearly every other career tool is closed proprietary.

Hi everyone Careerbot is a personal career assistant that finds and prepares job applications, but never submits them. Everything you're tracking (companies, applications, your reusable answer bank) is a markdown file in a local git repo on your laptop. The AI skills read those files, do research, and write more markdown files. There's also a dashboard UI on top if you'd rather browse visually than poke around in a file tree. I built this because applying to a lot of jobs is the same three loops over and over: find good companies, find their open roles, write the same "Why us?" essay slightly differently 50 times. Doing this in a general-purpose chatbot loses context between sessions and tends to hallucinate. So I tried making the filesystem the memory instead. I expect a lot of pushback from the "this is just a folder of markdown files and some prompts" angle, and tbh, sort of fair. The reason I went with markdown though is customizability: if you don't like how the AI worded something, you just open the file and change it. I'm excited to keep iterating, and would love any feedback. - Jess
