😊 Inspiration😁
As a freelancer, I noticed 90% of my time was wasted sifting through spammy DMs and server messages to find real opportunities. I built this bot to:
- Automate the hunt for gigs matching my skills.
- Eliminate noise (recruiters, scams, irrelevant offers).
- Never miss a high-value DM.
🐱🏍 What it does🎇
- Monitors Discord servers/DMs 24/7.
- Filters messages using AI based on your skills (e.g., "React dev needed").
_ 🎭How I built it 🎊_
- Discord Integration: Listens to channels/DMs with user authorization.
- Skill Matching: Regex + keyword scoring (e.g., "TypeScript" + "remote").
- AI Filter: Trained a model to classify messages (jobs vs. spam) using past data.
- Shows confirmed messages and message paths using bot frontend.
_ 😪Challenges I ran into😄 _
- Rate Limits: Discord bans bots for aggressive scraping. Solved with async delays and whitelisted servers.
- Ethics: Avoided "spammy" auto-replies. Bot only flags opportunities—you choose to respond.
👩🦰Accomplishments that I am proud of🤴
- 90% accuracy in filtering relevant gigs (tested with 50 freelancers).
- Saved users 10+ hours/week on average.
🎈 What we learned 🎐 User trust > automation: Letting users review AI suggestions increased adoption.
🥽 What's next for Auto-Job Scout 🎑
- Expand platforms: Slack, LinkedIn messages.
- Negotiation AI: Draft reply suggestions based on your rates/style.
