Show HN: Interactive CV – AI-powered job application assistant

Hi HN,

During my paternity leave, I wanted to improve my Frontend skills (I'm mainly a Backend developer). What started as a React learning project evolved into Interactive CV.

The app requires login since it handles personal data, but you can use any sample CV to test it out. There's a demo video on the landing page showing all features in action. Everything is free while I test and gather feedback on the project.

Key features:

- AI analysis of your CV against job descriptions - Automated CV optimization for ATS systems - Interactive CV sharing with chat/voice features for recruiters - AI-powered interview practice

Built with Next.js, Tailwind, Supabase and Langchain (OpenAI).

This grew from a personal pain point: the tedious process of tailoring resumes for each application. Instead of just building another resume builder, I wanted to create something that makes the job search process more interactive and effective.

I'm currently working on improving job tracking features to help manage applications and follow-ups in one place.

Would love your suggestions and feedback on what features would make this more useful for your job search

OP here. I forgot to mention - I'm available for any technical discussions or collaboration. Whether you want to know more about the implementation details, have suggestions for improvements, or are interested in contributing, feel free to reach out. Being a solo developer on this project, I'm always open to fresh perspectives and ideas.

Wow this is amazing

very helpful especially in this economy

Thanks for your kind words! Hope it helps people in their job search

Looks like you've put a heap of work into it!

I've been building minimal open source versions of those features for JSON Resume -> https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis/letter

I removed the interview feature because it didn't seem to have much value but I will be sure to give your implementation a spin.

I haven't released it yet, but it feels amazing when I play with the prototype is a feature where you essentially talk to a job counsellor and it writes your resume as you go. It feels very natural and using 4o etc gives fantastic results.

Yes, I've put a lot of care and effort into this project, though it's currently just an MVP and each feature has significant room for improvement, especially the interview functionality. I took a look at your project and I really liked your implementation of 'Find Jobs Based on Your Resume', although I think it could benefit from some additional features to differentiate it from recommendations on platforms like LinkedIn and others. Thank you for your feedback - feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or need any assistance
