Hey Vitae: An AI Product, Built End to End.

Hey Vitae is a job-search tool that leads with the interview. I built it during my MBA, using the same approach I used in support: find where people get stuck, then build the thing that makes it stop. In a job search, people get stuck in three places: applications that go into silence, the prep before a real interview, and keeping track of all of it.

What it does:

• Interview rehearsal shaped by the real posting and the real round, with one clear thing to fix next
• Resume read and tailoring that shows what a recruiter sees in the top third, and aims it at each role by emphasis, not invention
• Apply Strength, a fit score for each role, with every requirement marked met, partial, or a gap
• Job Scout, which reads 18,000+ company job boards against your resume and keeps watching for new roles
• Tracking for every job, date, and follow-up, free for good

My role: everything, from architecture and data model to UX, copy, and pricing. The stack is Next.js and Supabase, with AI calls going through Vercel AI Gateway and traced in Langfuse, plus Sentry and PostHog for errors and product analytics.

CX considerations for AI (in the same spirit as the AI chatbot at Workable):

• Never invent. It works only with what you've actually done. It doesn't make up experience, and it never applies to jobs on your behalf.
• Be honest about gaps. A fit score that hides the gap a hiring manager will notice doesn't help anyone.
• Trace every AI call so I can see where answers hold up and where they quietly fail, then fix the prompt or the flow.
• Nothing is saved until you ask, and a coach can only see a client's search with that client's consent.

Building it end to end kept me hands-on with what AI is good at and where it still needs a person. That's what I bring back to a support or CX team putting AI in front of customers.
