Inspiration

The job market is more competitive than ever, and many job seekers struggle with resume optimization and interview preparation. Traditional resources often lack personalization, feedback, or simulation. We wanted to build a smart, accessible platform that empowers users with real-time, AI-driven career tools to improve their chances of success. This inspired the creation of CareerCoach AI, a platform that mimics real recruiter workflows and simulates interviews with professional quality.

What it does

CareerCoach AI helps users polish their resumes and practice interviews with the help of artificial intelligence. It features:

ATS Resume Analysis: Upload resumes and job descriptions for AI-powered matching, keyword suggestions, and improvement tips using the Gemini API.
Mock Interviews: Custom questions generated from the resume, delivered via ElevenLabs AI voice, and real-time speech-to-text transcription for responses.
Performance Feedback: Actionable analytics, personalised career suggestions, and downloadable reports.

All designed to help job seekers prepare with confidence.

How we built it

We built CareerCoach AI using a modern frontend stack:

React + TypeScript for component logic and type safety
Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for fast, consistent UI styling
ElevenLabs API for high-quality voice synthesis in mock interviews
Web Speech API for real-time speech-to-text
Netlify for deployment and hosting
Fully responsive design for usability across devices

The entire experience runs seamlessly inside the Bolt.new environment with external tools used minimally for AI service integration and audio processing.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating multiple AI services while maintaining smooth performance
Synchronizing voice playback and speech recognition in a browser
Designing a workflow that feels both professional and intuitive to users
Working around browser limitations for mic and audio API access
Staying within Bolt.new’s structural limitations while implementing complex workflows

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully built an end-to-end AI-powered career tool from scratch
Delivered real-time voice interaction using ElevenLabs with smooth UX
Integrated ATS optimization and mock interviews into one cohesive platform
Achieved responsive, clean design using Tailwind + shadcn in Bolt.new
