Inspiration

Students targeting state-owned enterprises often face a fog of job lists, hard eligibility rules, unclear preparation priorities, and no reliable next action. CareerPath Agent turns that fog into a visible, evidence-aware path from a student's real starting point to a target role.

What it does

The beta connects a student profile to read-only job data, checks hard gates such as degree, major, graduation cohort, and deadlines with deterministic rules, lets the student select up to three targets, and produces a shared strategy network plus a seven-day action plan.

The key design choice is separating facts, inference, and advice. Missing evidence stays unknown. The product never invents a match score or offer probability. The guarded advisor boundary checks retrieval context, company relevance, source quality, citations, and session state before an AI answer can appear; if evidence or credentials are missing, it fails safely and preserves the verified source path.

How we built it

This project was substantially expanded during Build Week with Codex. The repository includes the deterministic career engine, route and risk outputs, source/entity filters, knowledge-base governance, an evidence-gated advisor adapter, and regression tests. The public beta keeps the core experience safe with read-only data, browser-local profile persistence, no production database writes, and no automatic applications, booking, or purchasing.

What we learned

A useful career agent is not just a chat box. It must make uncertainty visible, explain why a role is or is not currently reachable, and turn the gap into a concrete action with a completion standard.

What's next

The architecture is ready for a grounded GPT-powered advisor when the knowledge-base and session contracts are available. The public beta deliberately fails closed instead of fabricating advice.
