😊 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 🎊_

  1. Discord Integration: Listens to channels/DMs with user authorization.
  2. Skill Matching: Regex + keyword scoring (e.g., "TypeScript" + "remote").
  3. AI Filter: Trained a model to classify messages (jobs vs. spam) using past data.
  4. 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.
