Thanks! Jev is really cheap - my rough estimate is about $5-10 for 1,000 people playing a full five-word game each. For comparison, the same uncached input would cost around $100 with Claude Haiku 4.5

Cheap enough to keep this free for now :)

I made this little guessing game where you describe a word (without using it) and Jev tries to guess it as you type.

It's essentially the same dynamic as Charades or Taboo - where you act out the word. The only difference is you're describing it and Jev instantly tries to guess what word you've been given based on the corpus of words. It isn't told which word is yours.

Everyone gets the same five words each day -- kinda like Wordle. But there's a "practice" mode if you want to keep playing or found the daily words too easy.

Would love feedback! If you have fun with it, let me know. :)

Interesting, thanks. I'll keep an eye out.

Kimi is indeed somewhat cheap for frontier-level intelligence, but still is $4-5 per mm tokens. Deep Seek is at least an order of magnitude cheaper.

This is shockingly cheap for a near frontier model. This is insane.

For context, for an agent we're working on, we're using 5-mini, which is $2/1m tokens. This is $0.30/1m tokens. And it's Opus 4.6 level - this can't be real.

I am uncomfortable about sending user data which may contain PII to their servers in China so I won't be using this as appealing as it sounds. I need this to come to a US-hosted environment at an equivalent price.

Hosting this on my own + renting GPUs is much more expensive than DeepSeek's quoted price, so not an option.

Well done. Buying this.

I love the landing page - ugh just so perfect for the HN audience. I am pretty happy with the dock but after reading your landing, I felt like I need it.

Also, don't listen to people about pricing. $10/year as you have it is already cheap considering I'll end up using it every day (if I like it). People will never be satisfied.

Had an identical reaction to that $100m email. I decided to try it again with the browser extension. My verdict is it is better than ChatGPT Atlas for the agent mode, so I see use cases for it.

But I am still surprised it's at $100mm ARR. I had thought the company had died after their initial hyped launch and didn't see anyone talking about or using the company at all since then...and we play around with a lot of AI tools. I wonder who their customers are.

I curated the locations like I said in the post so it's a good first-time experience, but you can use the search to literally go anywhere!

Thanks dude!

Thank you so much! Means a ton.

Totally agree - the mobile experience need a ton of work, I'll try to figure out a better UX.

I love this so much haha.

"I can only ask my employee 20 smart things this week for $20?! And they get dumber (gpt-4o) after that? Not worth it!"

I covered this in a recent issue of a career newsletter I write [1]. Some snippets from it that I think would help new joiners (not only those joining a new industry):

1. No-one’s going to go out of their way to guide you. Esp at smaller companies, the fact that you’ve been hired means you’re joining a time-poor company, and there likely won’t be a formal onboarding process. So...you’ve got to onboard yourself.

2. Adopt a mindset of personal responsibility. This isn’t going to be a passive process, but an active one.

3. Don't meet everyone for the sake of it. The goal isn't to set-up endless meetings and become a burden. Limit yourself to a few, and make the most out of them. Make your ask clear when you ask someone for their time — e.g. 'I'd like context on X and what's been done so far'

4. Get some small wins on the scoreboard. Although your priority is to learn the key skills of the job, you also want to make a great impression during your first 60 days by showing you’ve made an impact. To do that, identify some smaller projects you can knock out to get a few small wins under your belt.

5. Be ‘seen’. Make your presence known. And communicate upwards so people know you’re busy. How? Tell your manager, “Can I send you a list of 5 things I think I need to hit the ground running? I’ll then set up a 1-1 and we could go through that.”

in Dubai and whatever they’re doing this definitely working - over just the last month-ish we’ve had a 4-8 days of extremely heavy rains (and gov alerts to stay in), when just two years ago it’d be a surprise if it rained 3 days all year

So good - I came across your updates on Twitter and was blown away by how mature this product is already, especially at launch. Congratulations!

I’m also a user of your other Chrome app you developed (Intention) [1] - I’d recommend people try that out too (simple free app for productivity), it’s also so good.

Good luck with the launch!

This list is pretty good: https://resumeworded.com/free-online-courses/

Awesome, glad it was useful! Yes, great point there's only like 15ish in there so far. I do have a backlog of ~25ish more still to add that I'll be adding over the next few weeks. Hopefully I should be able to find enough content after that!

Hi HN! I've compiled a list of actionable career advice from the world's most successful people. Each piece of advice is accompanied with a few 'Key ideas' so people can quickly get an actionable insight without having to watch a full video or read a full essay.

I'd also really love your feedback on what this could evolve into (if anything!). This is just an initial version. Right now I curated links and distilled the core ideas on this page. But going forward, I'd love to have some more original content (e.g. interviewing people and sharing their advice in small nuggets).

I run a career newsletter and a common topic/question I got from my subscribers was about choosing an online course to do and how to 'make the most' of quarantine.

Seems like so many of us (myself included) just miss the process of learning, whether that's learning a new skill or just personal development/mindset related concepts.

To help find a course to do, I made this simple one page site and included the most highly rated free courses from across a few different sites, whether that's Coursera, YC, edX or Youtube: https://resumeworded.com/free-online-courses/

Hey HN! I hope everyone's keeping well and healthy.

This quarantine period is a great time to learn new skills or just something interesting to take your mind off the news. I curated this list of some of the best, free online courses that you can take - this will hopefully help you pick a course worth doing.

All of these courses are highly ranked by Coursera/similar site and have been consistently recommended across discussion forums and social e.g. reddit, twitter, HN, etc. The courses are hosted on either Coursera, edX, YouTube or independent sites and are all free to enroll in.

If you have any suggestions for free courses you'd like me to add into this list, please let me know! Thanks :)

Hi HN! Been spending the last week or so hacking away at this side project. I'm hoping it might be useful to some!

I'm really big into ambient sounds when working (e.g. listening to sounds of cafés / rain / etc) and I find that they help me focus, since they don't distract me as much as music. I typically use a number of sites (e.g. coffitivity, brainfm) or find a youtube playlist. Though, I thought this experience could be improved upon + I wanted to learn how to make a Chrome extension, so I made this.

If you have a moment to try it out, I'd love some feedback! Do you see it being helpful? What's it missing?

This was meant to be a small project to get a bit of a break and scratch my itch to design/code something, but I ended up getting really into it and can see this growing into something bigger (e.g. a productivity suite of tools) - any ideas on where I could take this would be awesome too!

P.S. made a quick landing page that has more details too - feel free to have a look here: https://rofocus.com

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Creator here.

I run a career platform, Resume Worded and some of the most common questions I get from my readers and users are about cover letters. Whenever anyone asks about them, I usually just send them a couple of good examples of cover letters they can use as inspiration.

I thought I'd curate a bunch of great samples so other people can use them as inspiration too! They're sourced from some excellent career guides by places like Harvard and Stanford (links to the original guides are included too!)

Hope you find them useful :) Any feedback or feature requests, let me know!

Thanks! Rohan

P.S. This is a side project to my main product, Resume Worded, which gives you feedback on your resume and LinkedIn profile powered by AI, as well as sample resumes. It'd be awesome if you could check it out too! thank you

Hey guys - maker here. I run a career site (https://resumeworded.com) and the most common questions I get asked are around networking and getting referrals.

I built networking emails to make networking easier. It's a collection of email templates that cover every networking situation.

I sourced the initial set of templates from people in my network (colleagues, friends and friends of friends who went to business school, etc) and personal emails, and I'm adding to the list of templates regularly. Every template also includes some insight on why the email was effective, to help you craft better emails.

Each of these emails has amazing copy and actually worked (i.e. got an interview, a response, etc). Each template was also tweaked, so obviously names (e.g. company names, people names, etc) were changed for confidentiality.

Let me know if you have any feedback for this site or my main project (https://resumeworded.com)!

Thought I'd shout out my product, https://resumeworded.com/score, here. Gives a similar, but much more detailed analysis of a resume.

Hey guys! Launched this on Product Hunt yesterday. Wanted to see what HN thought about it too.

Upload your (or anyone’s) public LinkedIn profile in PDF using LinkedIn’s ‘Save to PDF’ feature. The tool scores your profile and gives you feedback on how to improve your profile’s visibility and discoverability.

Would love your feedback.

Hi HN! I launched the first version of Resume Worded on HN back in October last year and even though it was just a database of sample resume lines, there was a superb response here. Since then, I’ve been adding to the product every day and I’m super excited to show you guys Score My Resume.

The tool scans your resume for elements that are characteristic of a good resume, and gives you feedback/explanations on how you can improve. These range from simple things like word count (is your resume too short/long?) to a bit more complex things such as checking if you’ve quantified your bullet points, and suggesting similar lines in my database of lines (based on keyword ranking) and metrics (see https://resumeworded.com/metrics).

I think the hardest part was parsing a resume properly into its sections (e.g. people name their work experience, skills, etc sections differently e.g. ‘Work experience’, ‘Work and leadership’, …) and identifying what’s a bullet point (people use hyphens, bullets, or no bullets at all), or what’s a job title. Parsing resumes correctly is a pretty hard problem that modern HR systems seem to struggle at too imo. I used spaCy nlp mainly for pos tagging - I think it is the best nlp library out there (e.g. nltk out-of-the-box is ineffective, while stanford was just too slow) - highly recommend so wanted to give a shoutout. I think my model has a long way to go but I feel it’s getting there. I have a few new features that I’m almost done with but thought i should just ship the product as is before I delay it any longer!

I hope you guys find it useful. Appreciate any and all feedback.

-Rohan

P.S. I’ve tried making the parser flexible enough so that it can read pretty much any template. However, sometimes pdf’s don’t get converted correctly, or your template/format is just not something I expected. So if for any reason your resume fails, try putting your content in this standard resume template from Harvard’s career website (http://hwpi.harvard.edu/files/ocs/files/template_bullet.doc) and reupload. Thanks!
