The AI Career Coach is a personal job search assistant that sees your entire pipeline and tells you what to do each day. It gives daily briefings, runs mock interviews specific to roles on your board, analyses rejection patterns, coaches salary negotiations, and tracks your STAR Bank of achievements. No other job tracker has anything like it.

Each morning, the Coach reviews your Kanban board and generates a prioritised action plan. It flags overdue follow-ups, upcoming interview deadlines, roles where your application is going stale, and new actions that could move things forward. Think of it as a career coach who sees every job on your board.

Yes. The Coach runs mock interviews tailored to each specific role on your board. It asks the questions a hiring manager would ask for that role and company, listens to your answers, and gives feedback on structure, content, and confidence. You can practise as many times as you need.

ChatGPT has no context about your job search. The Coach sees your entire pipeline: which roles you've applied to, interview dates, follow-up windows, rejection patterns, and skill gaps across all your applications. It gives advice based on YOUR data, not generic templates.

Free users can try the Coach within their 5 AI generations per month. Pro users (£19/month) get unlimited access to daily briefings, mock interviews, rejection analysis, and salary coaching.
